Appears in These Scanners

This stock currently matches 4 of our scanner strategies — each hit links to the scanner.

Only genuine hits from verified scanners count; pure ranking metrics (P/E, P/S, and similar, which just sort the whole universe) don't count as a hit. Scanners marked in red are red-flag signals (risk/short scanners) — appearing there is not a seal of approval. View all scanners

Threatened

Die Risikofaktoren benennen KI-Suchzusammenfassungen (u. a. Googles AI Overviews, Zero-Click-Suchen) als konkretes Risiko für Traffic, Monetarisierung und Sichtbarkeit des eigenen werbe- und affiliate-finanzierten Modells — messbar an sinkender Nutzungszeit (−11 % im Q1 2026) und rückläufiger Programmatic-Werbung; KI wird intern zwar genutzt (Tech-Stack, geplanter App-Inkubator „Branch Office“), eine belegbare KI-Umsatzquelle weisen die Filings aber nicht aus.

„AI-enabled search functionality has the potential to disrupt traffic, monetization, and content visibility, particularly for our news operations. […] These features increasingly surface AI-generated summaries at the top of search results, reducing user engagement with source content."

KI-gestützte Suchfunktionen haben das Potenzial, Traffic, Monetarisierung und die Sichtbarkeit von Inhalten zu stören — insbesondere für unser Nachrichtengeschäft. […] Diese Funktionen zeigen zunehmend KI-generierte Zusammenfassungen ganz oben in den Suchergebnissen an und verringern so die Interaktion der Nutzer mit den Quellinhalten.

What Do These Terms Mean?
EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.
