Context and risks
The software and information services business has low direct exposure to interest rates, commodities, or geopolitical disruptions. The rise in rates may slightly affect the valuation of future cash flows, but with a P/E of 11.7 and an FCF yield of 8.2%, the impact is limited and already reflected in the market.

Verdict: Hold; quality and valuation are solid, but wait for momentum to improve or for signs of revenue growth acceleration before increasing the position.
Main risk: The main risk is the persistence of flat revenue growth (-0.6%) in a highly competitive and technologically disruptive environment in the legal and tax information sector, which could erode its long-term competitive advantage.
