StockCall Review on Nielsen and Thomson Reuters: Information Services Sector Grows

LONDON, February 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ –

Delivery services sector is thriving with the improvement in the economy. Companies
require information for making their decisions and information services companies provide
such information in a useful manner. Thomson Reuters Corporation (NYSE: TRI) had minor
embarrassment with Office Depot and OfficeMax deal. However, the company’s stock is on
solid footing as the stock is up 10 percent in the past 52 weeks. Another major player in
the field, Nielsen Holdings N.V. (NYSE: NLSN) recently made a secondary offering of its
shares. The company is also growing its presence in overseas markets. StockCall analysts

Nielsen Holdings N.V. Boost Contract with TCS

Nielsen Holdings announced its fourth quarter result and beat consensus estimates for
EPS, but it lagged behind revenue projections. The company’s EPS for the quarter stood at
62 cents per share, up from 51 cents per share it had earned for the corresponding quarter
of the last year. Its revenue also increased 3.03 percent to $1.46 billion. Nielsen
Holdings was expected to report its revenue at $1.48 billion. In-line with its good
results, the stock gained 12.69 percent in the past one year. Its growth so far this year
is at 4.18 percent. The free technical analysis on Nielsen Holdings N.V. is available by

Nielsen Holdings is boosting its presence in emerging countries as it announced
increasing the scope of its contract with TCS in India. The deal was earlier valued at $1
billion and now has been raised to $2.5 billion. The term of the contract has also been
extended by three years.

Nielsen Holdings N.V. announced the secondary offering of its shares. The company will
be issuing a minimum of 35 million shares under the offer and expects to generate $1.2
billion in cash from it. However, the funds will not accrue to the company but will
instead go to its existing shareholders. The issue priced at $32.55 failed to generate
much buzz. However, the company still has strong fundamentals, a good track record and its
stock is expected to keep performing well.

Thomson Reuters Announces Layoffs

Thomson Reuters had an unexpected problem to deal with as it inadvertently leaked out
the details about Office Max and Office Depot deal. The glitch, though embarrassing, is
not likely to have material impact on the company’s reputation. Thomson Reuters
Corporation, however, is not going to be very popular with its employees either as it
plans to slash 2,500 jobs. The step is being taken to curtail costs and boost
profitability. The layoffs would cost $100 million in severance costs but will be
accretive in the long-term. Register now to download the free research on Thomson Reuters

Thomson Reuters reported its fourth quarter EPS at 60 cents per share, up 11.11
percent from 54 cents per share EPS it had reported for the corresponding quarter of the
last year. It also beat consensus estimate of 55 cents per share. Thomson Reuters,
however, missed the projection for revenue and reported 6.12 percent decline to $3.36
billion. However, the stock is in good swing and gained 2.5 percent so far this year. The
company also offers good dividend yield of 4.30 percent and is a good candidate for an
income portfolio.
