Thomson Reuters has agreed to sell a 51% stake in its global print business to private equity firm KKR in a deal valued at approximately $500 million, marking another major shift toward AI-powered and digital information services. The joint venture allows Thomson Reuters to retain a 49% ownership stake, along with editorial control and intellectual property rights, while KKR takes operational control of the print division, which generated about $490 million in annual revenue. The business includes legal, tax, and professional print publications as well as ProView digital books. The transaction highlights the continued transformation of the publishing industry, where traditional print operations remain profitable but are increasingly separated from faster-growing AI, cloud, and digital subscription businesses. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approval.
