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 reported strong fourth-quarter 2017 results aided by the buyout of Midwest Television's broadcasting stations, sale of CareerBuilder and spin-off of Cars.com. Moreover, in the quarter under review, TEGNA reported a one-time deferred tax benefit of $221 million, from the new tax law passed. For first-quarter 2018, the company also expects total revenues (excluding the terminated digital business) to increase by 10-12% year over year driven by Olympics, Super Bowl and subscription revenue growth. However, TEGNA’s operation in a competitive broadcast TV industry remains a concern. The U.S. broadcast TV industry has long been grappling with declining advertising revenues and global economic volatility. In fact, in the past six months, the stock price soared 7.2% but failed to beat the industry’s gain of 25.3%." (3/13/2018)
