Thomson Financial made significant growth when they acquired another financial information provider Primark on June 6, 2000 for $842 million in an all-cash deal. Primark owned many names familiar in both the U.S. and UK/Europe such as Datastream, ICV, IBES. The acquisition consolidated and combined competing financial information provision, for example the FirstCall and IBES earnings estimate data, under the same company.
Thomson Financial has many offices across the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions. The head office is based in New York, with significant presence in Boston, San Francisco, London, Frankfurt, Bangalore, Manila, and many satellite offices in locations such as Sydney, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Zurich, Geneva, just as some examples. The two major data centers, not including smaller points of presence, for Thomson Financial are located in NYC and New Jersey.
In June 2007, Thomson Financial agreed to buy seven Asia-Pacific news bureaus from Xinhua Finance[1]. The bureaus purchased were in Tokyo, Manila, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Sydney and Seoul.
