Thomson Reuters shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 financial results.

2024 Outlook
The company raised its 2024 outlook for organic revenue growth to reflect strong year-to-date performance. All other measures in the outlook were maintained.
The company's outlook for 2024 in the table below assumes constant currency rates and excludes the impact of any future acquisitions or dispositions that may occur during the remainder of the year. Thomson Reuters believes that this type of guidance provides useful insight into the anticipated performance of its businesses.
The company expects its fourth-quarter 2024 organic revenue growth to be approximately 5% and its adjusted EBITDA margin to be approximately 37%.
The company continues to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment, reflecting ongoing geopolitical risk, uneven economic growth and an evolving interest rate and inflationary backdrop. Any worsening of the global economic or business environment, among other factors, could impact the company's ability to achieve its outlook.

Earnings Beats

Thomson Reuters Q3 2024 Adj. EPS $0.80 Beats $0.77 Estimate, Sales $1.720B Beat $1.713B Estimate

<a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/10/25/meta-reuters-ai-news-facebook-instagram">https://www.axios.com/2024/10/25/meta-reuters-ai-news-facebook-instagram</a>
Meta has struck a multi-year deal with Reuters to use its news content to provide real-time answers to user queries about news and current events in its <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/09/27/meta-debuts-new-artificial-intelligence-chatbot">Meta AI chatbot</a>, sources familiar with the agreement told Axios.
Why it matters: It's the first news deal Meta has brokered in the AI era.
<ul>
<li>Meta has backed away from news content in its platforms' main feeds amid regulatory scrutiny, but news content may prove harder to avoid with AI products that respond to users' requests.</li>
</ul>
Zoom in: Beginning Friday, users of Meta's AI chatbot feature in the U.S. will have access to real-time news and information from Reuters when they ask questions about news or current events.
<ul>
<li>Meta's AI chatbot is integrated into the search and messaging features on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger.</li>
<li>Answers to user queries about news will cite Reuters' stories and link out to its coverage.</li>
<li>Reuters will be compensated for access to its journalism, a source said.</li>
</ul>
Between the lines: It's unclear whether the partnership includes a licensing component that would allow Meta to use Reuters' journalism to train Meta's large language model, Llama.
<ul>
<li>Asked for comment, a Meta spokesperson said, "We're always iterating and working to improve our products, and through Meta's partnership with Reuters, Meta AI can respond to news-related questions with summaries and links to Reuters content."</li>
<li>"While most people use Meta AI for creative tasks, deep dives on new topics or how-to assistance, this partnership will help ensure a more useful experience for those seeking information on current events."</li>
<li>Reuters did not comment.</li>
</ul>
Catch up quick: Meta, then Facebook, made tens of millions of dollars' worth of deals with publishers to use their content in its now-defunct News Tab in 2019.
<ul>
<li>It <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/07/28/meta-publishers-news-funding-cut">cut that funding</a>, and significantly reduced the amount of political content in its feeds, following the 2020 election.</li>
<li>While other AI companies have been making deals with news firms, Meta's appetite for news deals for its AI assistant was unclear until now.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Context: Reuters has been a fact-checking <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/business/reuters-launches-fact-checking-initiative-to-identify-misinformation-in-partner-idUSKBN2061SO/">partner</a> of Meta's since 2020, but it was never part of Meta's News Tab efforts.
<ul>
<li>It makes sense that Meta would partner with a global wire service for its first AI news partner, given Reuters' non-partisan reputation and its commitment to accurate, real-time news.</li>
</ul>
What to watch: AI companies are under pressure to ensure their chatbots don't inadvertently spread misinformation, especially ahead of the election.
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/10/22/openai-microsoft-ai-news-fellowship">OpenAI</a> has taken the lead on making news deals, inking agreements with dozens of national, international and local outlets. Its minority owner, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/01/microsoft-starts-paying-publishers-for-content-in-copilot/">Microsoft</a>, recently said Microsoft would pay news companies to feature their content in its Copilot AI assistant.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/10/22/ai-startup-tollbit-media-publishers">TollBit</a>, a two-sided marketplace for publishers and AI companies, announced news partners last week. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/24/24278950/perplexity-news-corp-response-lawsuit">Perplexity</a>, a generative AI search engine, has announced news partners, but has also been at the receiving end of several publisher copyright lawsuits.</li>
</ul>

Thousands of Ukrainian soldiers advanced across the Russian border a week ago. The surprise attack allowed Ukraine to occupy a piece of Russian territory 7.5 miles deep and about 25 miles wide.
Moscow evacuated almost 200,000 people. It rushed in reserves and heavy weaponry in response to Ukraine&#8217;s ground attack, Reuters reported.
Russia&#8217;s defense ministry published images of Sukhoi Su-34 bombers hitting Ukrainian troops in the Kursk border region, according to the ministry, and said it countered attacks at villages about 17 miles from the border.
