Read MoreHide Full Article

The upcoming report from Thomson Reuters (TRI - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly earnings of $1.21 per share, indicating an increase of 8% compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $2.06 billion, representing an increase of 8.6% year over year.
