Description: TGNA Tegna November 30, 2025
Tegna Inc. (NYSE:TGNA) is a U.S.-based journalism and media company that creates and distributes news, lifestyle, and utility content across digital, mobile, broadcast, and social platforms, while also offering marketing solutions and operating multicast networks such as True Crime Network and Quest.
Key recent metrics: FY 2024 revenue reached approximately $1.6 billion, a 5 % YoY increase driven by stronger digital advertising; adjusted EBITDA margin held near 18 %, reflecting efficient cost control; and the company generated $210 million of free cash flow, supporting its ongoing dividend of $0.34 per share. The local broadcast sector remains sensitive to macro-economic conditions, particularly advertising spend trends and the pace of cord-cutting, which are shifting revenue toward addressable, program-matic digital inventory.
