The combined entity is the leader in financial data, with approximately 34% of the market share. (Information service Bloomberg is a close second with 33% of the market.) Thomson Reuters provides electronic information and services to businesses and professionals worldwide, serving the legal, financial services, tax and accounting, healthcare and science, and media markets. Data is offered online and through CD-ROM; most revenues come from subscription sales.
