Q3 Core outperforms peers. Core advertising increased 2%, outperforming its peers, which on average declined 2% in the quarter. In addition, the company overachieved adj. EBITDA on better than expected expense savings on employee costs across both operating segments.

Q4 core outlook outperforms peers as well. Management guided core advertising to increase 10% in Q4, significantly better than its peers, with most guiding flat to down as much as 5%. The biggest disappointment is in its Scripps Networks division, with Q4 revenues guided down low double-digits, impacted by the absence of Political and Medicare enrollment advertising due to the government shutdown.

In-line quarter. Third quarter revenue of $28.2 million was in line with our $28.3 million estimate, representing a modest 1.8% decline against a Political advertising infused prior year period. Adj. EBITDA, excluding an extraordinary music licensing settlement expense, was $3.3 million, in line with our $3.4 million estimate as illustrated in Figure #1 Q3 Results.

Q3 revenues stabilize. Excluding Political advertising, the strength in Digital advertising more than offset the weakness in its core broadcast advertising. Digital advertising was up roughly 40% in the quarter. Management stated that Digital advertising continues with strong momentum into the fourth quarter, pacing a strong 32%.

Q3 exceeds expectations. Adj. EBITDA of $80.4 million was better than our $71.5 million estimate, on revenues of $525.9 million, a little shy of our $528.5 million estimate. Employee compensation expenses were lower than our expectations, which accounted for the largest variance in our Q3 estimates, leading to the better than expected adj. EBITDA. Figure #1 Q3 Results highlights our estimates versus the results.

Q4 guidance reflects a difficult quarter. Management anticipates Local Media revenue to be down in the 30% range, with Local Media expenses to be down in the low single-digit percent range. Scripps Networks revenue is expected to be down in the low double-digit percent range, with expenses to be down in the low double-digit percent range. Shared services and corporate will be about $21 million.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Q3 Results. The company reported Q3 revenue of $8.0 million, below our forecast of $14.5 million, partially driven by continued underperformance in the Sell-side business, which generated $0.6 million vs. our forecast of $5.0 million. Furthermore, while the company has been focusing on cost reductions, it has not been enough to offset the softness in the Sell-side. As such, adj. EBITDA loss of $3.0 million came in lower than our estimate of a loss of $0.1 million.

Buy-side grew. Notably, Buy-side revenue grew 7% YoY to $7.3 million, driven by expansion into larger performance-based clients. Notably, the company announced a new Reach TV partnership, which adds premium airport video inventory and aligns with the company’s tourism-focused customer base. The Buy-side is the primary profit driver and likely will be for the next several quarters.

Release – Direct Digital Holdings Announces Expansion of its Equity Reserve Facility to $100 Million

Posted on November 6, 2025November 6, 2025 by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

November 06, 2025 4:05 pm EST

HOUSTON, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Direct Digital Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: DRCT) (“Direct Digital Holdings” or the “Company”), a leading advertising and marketing technology platform operating through its companies Colossus Media, LLC (“Colossus SSP”) and Orange 142, LLC (“Orange 142”), today announced that it has entered into an amendment to its existing Equity Reserve Facility to expand the capacity to $100 million from $20 million.

The expansion of the Equity Reserve Facility reflects the amendment to the Company’s Share Repurchase Agreement with New Circle Capital to a total capacity of $100 million in aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Class A Common Stock.

Mark Walker, Chief Executive Officer of Direct Digital Holdings, commented, “We view this expansion of our existing equity reserve facility as good capital management strategy that provides us with additional liquidity to operate and grow our business. We appreciate the flexibility of our partners as we continue to optimize our access to capital and strengthen our balance sheet.”

The Company expects that any proceeds received from the sale of this stock will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Company has filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission that contains further details regarding the completion of this amendment. The foregoing description of this amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form 8-K and exhibits thereto.

All of our forward-looking statements involve estimates and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the information described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”) and subsequent periodic and or current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this press release, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions.

Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual operating and financial performance and cause our performance to differ materially from the performance expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the restrictions and covenants imposed upon us by our credit facilities; the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing; our ability to secure additional financing to meet our capital needs; our ineligibility to file short-form registration statements on Form S-3, which may impair our ability to raise capital; our failure to satisfy applicable listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market resulting in a potential delisting of our common stock; costs, risks and uncertainties related to restatement of certain prior period financial statements; any significant fluctuations caused by our high customer concentration; risks related to non-payment by our clients; reputational and other harms caused by our failure to detect advertising fraud; operational and performance issues with our platform, whether real or perceived, including a failure to respond to technological changes or to upgrade our technology systems; restrictions on the use of third-party “cookies,” mobile device IDs or other tracking technologies, which could diminish our platform’s effectiveness; unfavorable publicity and negative public perception about our industry, particularly concerns regarding data privacy and security relating to our industry’s technology and practices, and any perceived failure to comply with laws and industry self-regulation; our failure to manage our growth effectively; the difficulty in identifying and integrating any future acquisitions or strategic investments; any changes or developments in legislative, judicial, regulatory or cultural environments related to information collection, use and processing; challenges related to our buy-side clients that are destination marketing organizations and that operate as public/private partnerships; any strain on our resources or diversion of our management’s attention as a result of being a public company; the intense competition of the digital advertising industry and our ability to effectively compete against current and future competitors; any significant inadvertent disclosure or breach of confidential and/or personal information we hold, or of the security of our or our customers’, suppliers’ or other partners’ computer systems; as a holding company, we depend on distributions from Direct Digital Holdings, LLC (“DDH LLC”) to pay our taxes, expenses (including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement) and any amount of any dividends we may pay to the holders of our common stock; the fact that DDH LLC is controlled by DDM, whose interest may differ from those of our public stockholders; any failure by us to maintain or implement effective internal controls or to detect fraud; and other factors and assumptions discussed in our Form 10-K and subsequent periodic and current reports we may file with the SEC.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of these assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual operating and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement contained in this press release to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances, and we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. New factors that could cause our business not to develop as we expect emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.

Q3 beats our downcast expectations. Q3 revenue of $180.3 million and adj. EBITDA of $16.7 million, both of which were modestly better than our estimates of $179.0 million and $12.9 million, respectively. Third quarter revenues declined 11.5% from the prior period, adversely affected by the absence of $3.6 million in Political advertising and the absence of The Daily Wire and The Dan Bongino Show.

DMS remains a bright spot. The Digital Marketing Services (DMS) business remains a bright spot, with revenue surging 34% in the quarter.

Netflix Plans 10-for-1 Stock Split, Aiming to Broaden Employee Ownership and Investor Access

Posted on October 31, 2025October 31, 2025 by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Netflix is moving ahead with a 10-for-1 stock split, a decision aimed at making its shares more affordable for employees and smaller investors. The split, which will take effect on November 17, will reduce the price of each share to roughly one-tenth of its current value while increasing the total number of shares outstanding.

Shares of Netflix closed at $1,089 on Thursday. If the stock split were applied today, each share would trade around $110. The company said the move is designed to bring the price into a range that is more accessible for employees who participate in its stock option program—a strategy often used to encourage greater employee ownership and long-term alignment with company performance.

The announcement sparked a brief rally, with shares climbing as much as 3% before moderating after reports surfaced that Netflix may be exploring a potential bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. The stock still ended the session higher, reflecting renewed investor enthusiasm around the company’s confidence in its financial strength and long-term growth trajectory.

Although a stock split doesn’t alter a company’s overall market value, it can have important psychological and practical effects. By lowering the per-share price, a company makes its stock more approachable for retail investors and employees who might otherwise be deterred by a four-figure share price. Increased liquidity and trading volume often follow, which can narrow bid-ask spreads and potentially boost short-term demand.

Historically, stock splits have sometimes been associated with outperformance in the months after they are announced. Analysts attribute this to improved accessibility, stronger market sentiment, and a perception of management confidence. For Netflix, which has gained over 100,000% since its 2002 IPO, the move underscores how far the company has come—from a DVD-by-mail service to one of the world’s dominant entertainment platforms.

This marks Netflix’s third stock split since going public. The company last executed a 7-for-1 split in 2015, when shares traded above $700, and a 2-for-1 split in 2004. Both prior splits were followed by periods of sustained growth as Netflix expanded internationally and transitioned into original content production.

For employees, the latest split could make stock-based compensation more meaningful by lowering the strike price of future options. For retail investors, particularly those who invest through fractional-free brokerage platforms, the lower per-share price could make Netflix stock more psychologically appealing.

While large-cap firms like Netflix don’t face the same challenges as smaller companies, the move highlights a trend that could influence tech valuations more broadly. When industry leaders adjust pricing structures to make shares more attainable, it can encourage greater participation across the market—something smaller tech firms may also consider as they seek to attract investors and retain talent.

Netflix’s split will officially take effect mid-November, after which the stock will trade on a split-adjusted basis. For investors, the change offers no direct increase in value, but it may represent a renewed vote of confidence in the company’s long-term story—and a reminder that accessibility, perception, and participation all play key roles in market momentum.

Vimeo to Go Private in $1.38 Billion Deal with Bending Spoons

Posted on September 11, 2025September 11, 2025 by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Vimeo (NASDAQ: VMEO) has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Bending Spoons in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.38 billion. Under the terms of the deal, Vimeo shareholders will receive $7.85 per share, a price that reflects a 91% premium over the company’s 60-day volume-weighted average stock price as of September 9, 2025.

The decision to sell follows a comprehensive review of strategic options by Vimeo’s board. The agreement positions Vimeo to accelerate its long-term goals while providing shareholders with immediate and certain value. Once the deal is finalized, Vimeo will become a privately held company, and its stock will no longer be traded on public exchanges.

For Vimeo, the acquisition represents both a fresh chapter and a return to its roots. As a public company, it faced increasing pressure to balance growth initiatives with short-term financial expectations. Transitioning to private ownership under Bending Spoons is expected to provide greater flexibility to invest in innovation across self-serve tools, enterprise services, and streaming solutions. The company is also expected to expand its portfolio of AI-enabled features, reflecting the growing role of artificial intelligence in video production, editing, and distribution.

Bending Spoons, headquartered in Milan, has built a reputation for acquiring and scaling digital platforms with global reach. Its portfolio already includes well-known names such as Evernote, WeTransfer, Brightcove, Meetup, and Remini. By adding Vimeo, the company is signaling a strong commitment to video as a cornerstone of digital business. The firm has stated its intention to make significant investments in Vimeo’s operations, particularly in the U.S. and other priority markets, to enhance performance, reliability, and user experience.

The timing of the deal also reflects the rising strategic importance of video platforms. Businesses, creators, and enterprises increasingly rely on video for communication, marketing, and engagement. With demand for professional-grade video tools surging, Vimeo’s integration into the Bending Spoons ecosystem could help it compete more effectively with rivals while scaling globally.

From an investor standpoint, the acquisition delivers a substantial return at a time when Vimeo’s share price had struggled to reflect its long-term potential. The 91% premium on the stock’s recent trading average underscores the confidence Bending Spoons has in Vimeo’s future growth and the value of its established brand and customer base.

The transaction, unanimously approved by Vimeo’s board, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, pending shareholder approval and regulatory clearance. In the meantime, Vimeo will continue to meet its reporting obligations but will not host a third-quarter earnings call as it transitions toward private ownership.

By aligning with Bending Spoons, Vimeo is expected to gain the resources and strategic support needed to expand its role in the rapidly evolving video market. As global demand for high-quality, AI-driven video solutions continues to rise, this acquisition positions Vimeo for renewed growth and relevance in a highly competitive digital landscape.
