AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Ziff Davis (ZD)

Ziff Davis Q4 revenue falls 1.5% to $406.7 million; defers 2026 guidance

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 guidance Written later

Ziff Davis reported preliminary unaudited fourth-quarter 2025 revenue of $406.7 million, down from $412.8 million a year earlier, and net income of $0.4 million versus $64.1 million, including a $58.0 million pre-tax loss on a business sale. Full-year revenue rose 3.5% to $1.45 billion, but the company deferred its fiscal 2026 guidance while it evaluates possible sales of entire divisions, which leaves shareholders without a forecast for next year.
