MediaAlpha stock was trading at EUR 10.32 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 12:23 p.m. CEST, up 0.19 percent versus the EUR 10.30 prior close on September 28. The company has raised its third-quarter outlook while preparing for a change in its finance leadership.
Q3 guidance reaches prior highs
According to the SEC filing dated September 2, 2026, MediaAlpha expects third-quarter 2026 revenue, Contribution and Adjusted EBITDA to come in at or above the top end of its earlier guidance ranges. Those ranges were USD 330 million to USD 355 million for revenue and USD 32.0 million to USD 35.0 million for Adjusted EBITDA.
The same filing sets October 1, 2026 as the effective date for Tigran Sinanyan to become chief financial officer and treasurer. Patrick Thompson will remain in the role through the transition and continue as a consultant through February 26, 2027, giving the outlook a management continuity angle.
Q2 results reset the benchmark
MediaAlpha's second-quarter 2026 revenue was USD 316.88 million, compared with USD 300.87 million expected, according to MarketBeat on September 8, 2026. EPS reached USD 0.65 against USD 0.23 consensus, a USD 0.42 beat that gives the new Q3 outlook a stronger earnings base.
Structured financial data show Q2 net income attributable to common shareholders of USD 39.44 million and operating cash flow of USD 42.59 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Revenue therefore came with positive earnings and cash generation, rather than relying on sales growth alone.
Stock remains below yearly high
MediaAlpha's market capitalization was USD 487.4 million as of September 28, 2026. The same market snapshot places the 52-week range at USD 7.09 to USD 14.70, leaving the Lang & Schwarz euro quotation well below the upper end of the company's yearly trading band when measured in separate currencies.
