Thomson Reuters Corp. Sees 14% Intraday Gain Following AI Tool Endorsement

On [date], shares of Thomson Reuters Corp. surged as much as 14%, marking the company's largest intraday gain in 26 years. This significant increase was driven by the company's AI tool for lawyers, CoCounsel, receiving recognition from Anthropic PBC, a leading AI juggernaut.

Thomson Reuters' Chief Executive Officer Steve Hasker presented at an Anthropic-hosted briefing, where the company's AI tool was showcased. This endorsement comes as the market navigates the intersection of AI optimism and pessimism, with some fearing that AI will disrupt business models, particularly those of software services firms.

Thomson Reuters has experienced a decline in stock value since hitting an all-time high in July, with losses exceeding 50%. However, the company's announcement of CoCounsel reaching 1 million users marks a significant milestone, shifting the tool from experimentation to production.

The company is also working with various AI tools, including Anthropic's Claude model, OpenAI Inc.'s GPT, and Alphabet Inc.'s Google Gemini platform. This collaboration is likely to have a positive impact on the company's AI capabilities and its ability to benefit from the technology.

National Bank Financial analyst Adam Shine rates the stock outperform, although his C$175 price target is below the stock's closing record of C$293.53. The market will continue to assess the impact of AI on Thomson Reuters' business, and it remains to be seen whether the company can sustain its recent gains.

Shares of Thomson Reuters closed 11% higher at C$123.45 on [date].
