Ziff Davis (ISIN US48123V1026) stock was trading at USD 56.82 on Nasdaq on September 23, 2026 at 2:14 p.m. ET, down 2.37 percent. The latest quarterly figures combine a revenue decline with an adjusted earnings beat, giving the session a clear counterpoint.
Quarterly earnings beat consensus
In Q2 2026, Ziff Davis generated revenue of USD 286.7 million, down 2.7 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. Adjusted diluted EPS reached USD 1.03, compared with a consensus estimate of USD 0.91, according to Investing.com.
The gap between operating revenue and adjusted earnings is the key investor signal. Ziff Davis is converting a smaller top line into higher adjusted per-share earnings, while the reported quarter still reflects pressure on demand across parts of its digital portfolio.
Cash flow supports the structure
Ziff Davis states that trailing twelve-month revenue from continuing operations reached USD 1.2 billion through June 30, 2026. Over the same period, adjusted EBITDA margin was 31 percent and free cash flow totaled USD 317 million, according to Ziff Davis.
That cash profile matters because the company operates across digital media, cybersecurity and marketing technology. The combination of a 31 percent adjusted EBITDA margin and USD 317 million in trailing twelve-month free cash flow gives the earnings comparison more depth than revenue alone.
Nasdaq session turns lower
Ziff Davis had a market capitalization of USD 2,093,061,099 on September 23, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 22.45 to USD 60.48, placing the intraday price below the yearly high while the daily move remained negative.
