What are Wall Street analysts saying about TEGNA stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about TEGNA stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "TEGNA is benefiting from growth in services, banking and media ad categories. A stable paying subscriber base and higher rates are expected to drive subscription revenues. Also, the company’s acquisition of local TV stations including the Big Four affiliates are likely to aid top-line growth and improve cash flow visibility in the long haul. TEGNA’s shares have outperformed the industry on a year-to-date basis. Estimates have been stable lately ahead of the company’s Q3 earnings release. The company has a positive record of earnings surprises in the recent quarters. However, increasing programming fees are expected to drag margins down in the near term. Weakness in the automotive ad category is expected to hurt top-line growth. Lower advertising revenues in competitive broadcast TV industry are an overhang for the company." (11/4/2019)
