Description: QUAD Quad Graphics January 01, 2026
Quad/Graphics (NYSE: QUAD) is a global provider of integrated marketing solutions, operating through U.S. Print and Related Services and International segments. Its core offerings span traditional printing-retail inserts, catalogs, newspapers, packaging, and specialty products-as well as ancillary services such as paper procurement, ink manufacturing, data analytics, media planning, and digital content creation. The company’s client base is comprised of blue-chip brands across retail, CPG, financial services, and health sectors, with operations covering North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
Recent public filings show QUAD generated roughly $2.0 billion of revenue in FY 2023, with print-related services still accounting for about 70 % of sales but declining at ~3 % YoY, while non-print data and digital services grew ~8 % YoY, reflecting a broader industry shift toward omnichannel marketing. The firm reported an operating margin near 6 % and a free-cash-flow conversion of ~0.8, supporting a debt-to-equity ratio of ~1.2. Key economic drivers include paper-commodity price volatility, inflation-pressured labor costs, and the continued migration of advertising spend from traditional media to e-commerce-driven channels, which together shape QUAD’s margin outlook.
