TRI combines a 0.98456-for-1 reverse split with a $1.44-per-share special dividend to return cash to shareholders.
Thomson Reuters (NASDAQ: TRI) announced a 0.98456-for-1 reverse stock split alongside a $1.44-per-share special dividend. The move follows a strong quarter, with revenues up 10% year-over-year and earnings rising 7% in Q1 2026.
Reverse splits typically signal distress, often used to avoid delisting when share prices fall below $1. However, TRI’s share price remains well above that threshold, and the company also raised its regular dividend by 10% during the quarter.
The combined action adjusts share count while returning capital to investors, a rare pairing that contrasts with conventional market expectations for reverse splits.
