Description: TGNA Tegna January 25, 2026

Tegna Inc. (NYSE:TGNA) is a U.S. journalism and broadcasting company that produces news, lifestyle content, and marketing solutions across online, mobile, connected-TV, and social platforms. It also operates the multicast networks True Crime Network and Quest. Founded in 1906, the firm is headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, and is classified under the Broadcasting sub-industry of GICS.

As of the most recent FY 2023 filing, Tegna reported revenue of $1.42 billion, an adjusted EBITDA of $210 million and free cash flow of $152 million, supporting a dividend yield of roughly 1.5% on a market cap near $5.3 billion. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) grew 4% YoY, driven primarily by a 7% increase in digital advertising revenue, while traditional local-TV ad sales fell 2% amid continued cord-cutting trends. Industry-wide, the U.S. local TV advertising market is projected to contract at a 1-2% annual rate through 2025, but digital video ad spend is expanding at an 8% CAGR, a key driver of Tegna’s strategic pivot to multiscreen distribution.
