Nexstar Media Group Reports Record Revenue Growth---
Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
EarningsNexstar 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.
Operational EfficiencyThe company's ability to turn a revenue beat into a significant EBITDA beat demonstrates strong operational efficiency and management.
Strategic GrowthNexstar is using its status as the nation’s largest operator of major network local television broadcast affiliates as a platform it can enhance with technologies including digital ad sales and the advent of ATSC 3.0.
Bears Say
AdvertisingAdvertising seems off to a sluggish start to begin the year, Nexstar has minimal big 4 renewals this year, the CW rates do not step up until later in the year, and the elevated sports rights costs against ramping advertising and retrans seems likely to produce another CW loss this year.
Market ConditionsIt may be tougher to produce any material outperformance given how political ended and the current challenging trends in the national advertising environment.
