Feb 6 (Reuters) - Thomson Reuters TRI.TO reported on Thursday higher fourth-quarter revenue and issued 2025 organic revenue growth targets that would exceed 2024 rates.
The Toronto-based content and technology company reported quarterly revenue rising 5% to $1.909 billion, slightly ahead of analyst expectations of $1.907 billion, according to LSEG data.
"2024 marked important progress at Thomson Reuters," said CEO Steve Hasker in a prepared statement.
"Looking ahead to 2025, we continue to focus on investing in content-driven technology that helps professionals make complex decisions with confidence."
The company reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.01. Wall Street expected a profit per share of 96 cents.
Operating profit rose 29% to $722 million, boosted by the sale of FindLaw.

The company raised its annualized dividend per share by 10%.
