Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Distribution GrowthRetransmission renewals can support return to distribution growth in 2026.
Operational EfficiencyThe company's ability to turn a revenue beat into a significant EBITDA beat demonstrates strong operational efficiency and management.
Revenue PerformanceNexstar deserves credit for exceeding consensus on every revenue metric, with significant improvement in digital revenue and a revenue beat in the non-political advertising segment.
Bears Say
Advertising ChallengesIt may be tougher to produce any material outperformance given how political ended and the current challenging trends in the national advertising environment.
CW Network LossesAdvertising seems off to a sluggish start, and the elevated sports rights costs against ramping advertising and retrans seem likely to produce another CW loss this year.
Political And Core Ads WeaknessNXST's political came in below expectations, and core ads are weaker too.
