Thomson Reuters is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. provides business information services. Co.'s segments include: Legal Professionals, which serves law firms and governments with research and workflow products; Corporates, which serves corporate customers with its technology solutions for in-house legal, tax, regulatory, compliance and IT personnel; Tax and Accounting Professionals, which serves tax, accounting and audit personnel in accounting firms with research and workflow products; Reuters News, which provides news, insight and analysis; and Global Print, which provides information in print format to legal and tax personnel, government, law schools and corporations. We show 11 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our TRI shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute TRI market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing TRI market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing TRI's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of TRI versus a peer is one thing; comparing
TRI market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like TRI can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching TRI by allowing them to research the TRI market cap history. |
