Debt-heavy turnaround with massive insider buying
Snapshot
The E.W. Scripps Company is a traditional broadcast media business in the middle of a painful financial reset. Revenue fell 14.3% to $2.15B in FY 2025, and the company reported a net loss of $100.9M. However, the core operations are still generating profit, with $162.2M in operating income. The net loss is driven almost entirely by $221M in interest expense on a massive $2.73B debt load.
