Thomson Reuters Announces $1.0 Billion Share Repurchase Program
Under the new NCIB, up to 10 million common shares (which represents approximately 2.22% of the company's issued and outstanding common shares as of August 12, 2025) may be repurchased between August 19, 2025 and August 18, 2026.
Under the NCIB, shares may be repurchased in open market transactions on the TSX, the Nasdaq Global Select Market (Nasdaq) and/or other exchanges and alternative trading systems, if eligible, or by such other means as may be permitted by the TSX and/or Nasdaq or under applicable law, including private agreement purchases or share purchase program agreement purchases if Thomson Reuters receives, if applicable, an issuer bid exemption order in the future from applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada for such purchases. The price that Thomson Reuters will pay for common shares in open market transactions will be the market price at the time of purchase or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX. Any private agreement purchases made under an exemption order, if applicable, may be at a discount to the prevailing market price. In accordance with TSX rules, any daily repurchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exception) on the TSX under the renewed NCIB are limited to a maximum of 91,026 shares, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume on the TSX of 364,105 for the six months ended July 31, 2025. Any shares that are repurchased are cancelled.
From time to time when Thomson Reuters does not possess material nonpublic information about itself or its securities, it may enter into a pre-defined plan with its broker to allow for the repurchase of shares at times when Thomson Reuters ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Any such plans entered into with Thomson Reuters' broker will be adopted in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws and the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Thomson Reuters has historically maintained a disciplined capital strategy that balances growth, long-term financial leverage, credit ratings and returns to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The NCIB provides the company with a flexible way to provide returns to shareholders who choose to participate by selling their shares.
Decisions regarding any future repurchases will depend on certain factors, such as market conditions, share price and other opportunities to invest capital for growth. Thomson Reuters may elect to suspend or discontinue share repurchases at any time, in accordance with applicable laws.

5 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Next Decade
Key Points Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor are slated to profit from the huge AI computing power buildout. Meta Platforms and Alphabet are using AI to improve advertising. Amazon's cloud computing division is seeing strong AI demand. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › The best investing strategies involve buying great companies and holding them over long periods to let them be, which has yielded impressive returns if you picked the right businesses. Among the top performers over the past decade have been Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL). I removed Nvidia from the chart below because it's up over 30,000% in the past decade, which skews the graph, but the other four have also done phenomenally well. TSM data by YCharts. The "worst" performer of the remaining four has been Alphabet, with its stock rising nearly five times in value. These five stocks have had a strong run over the past decade, but I still believe they are excellent picks for the next decade, mainly due to the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI). They are at the top of my list right now, and I think buying shares with the mindset of holding for the next decade is a wise investment strategy. Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor are providing AI computing power All five of these stocks are benefiting in various ways from the AI race. Nvidia makes graphics processing units (GPUs), which are currently the most popular computing hardware for running and training AI models. It owns this market, and its dominance has allowed it to become the world's largest company. There's still a huge AI computing demand that hasn't been met, which bodes well for Nvidia's future. Because of this, it remains one of the best stocks to buy and hold over the next decade. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC for short) is a manufacturer that produces chips for many of the major players in AI, including Nvidia. These companies don't have chip production capabilities, so they farm that work out to TSMC, which has earned its reputation for being the best foundry in the world through continuous innovation and impressive yields. There are few challengers to its supremacy, and this position will help it continue to be a market-crushing stock for the foreseeable future. Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor are seeing huge growth right now because they're providing the computing power necessary for AI. The next three are also benefiting and will likely see even more success over the next decade. More AI applications will rise over the next few years At first glance, Amazon doesn't seem like much of an AI company. However, it has large exposure through its cloud computing wing, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is the largest cloud computing provider. It's seeing strong demand for increased computing capacity for AI workloads. With this demand expected to rapidly increase over the next decade, this bodes well for AWS, which makes up the majority of Amazon's profits, helping drive the stock to new heights. Meta Platforms is developing its own in-house generative AI model, Llama. It has several uses for it, but the biggest is maintaining its role at the top of the social media world. Meta owns two of the biggest social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, which generate most of their money through ad revenue. The company has integrated AI tools into its ad services and has already seen an uptick in interaction and conversion rates. This effect will become even greater as generative AI technologies improve, making Meta a strong stock pick for the next decade. Lastly is Alphabet. Many think Alphabet will be displaced by AI because it gets the majority of its revenue through Google Search, which is seen as a target for AI disruption. However, that hasn't happened yet, and Google Search continues to get larger, with revenue rising 12% in the second quarter. Part of its success can be attributed to the rise of its Search Overviews, which are a hybrid between a traditional search engine and generative AI. This feature has become popular and could be enough to keep Google on top in search, allowing it to achieve new heights over the next decade. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now?
