The latest company event was a September 28 portfolio realignment with Lee Enterprises that transferred four local titles and gave USA TODAY full ownership of the Arizona Daily Star, according to Simply Wall St.

Four titles change hands

The change narrows the company's portfolio in several markets while adding direct control of one Arizona operation. For investors, the transaction is more concrete than a broad digital strategy statement because it changes the assets and operating responsibilities held by USA TODAY.
