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’s second-quarter 2019 revenues benefited from higher advertising and marketing services, and subscription revenues. The company witnessed growth in the services, banking and media ad categories that fully offset weakness in automotive. Moreover, a stable paying subscriber base and higher rates drove subscription revenues. Moreover, the company’s continued acquisition of local TV stations comprising the Big Four affiliates is likely to drive the top line and improve cash flow visibility in 2019 and beyond. Shares have outperformed the industry on a year-to-date basis. However, increasing programming fees are expected to drag margins down in the near term. Moreover, the company operates in a competitive broadcast TV industry, which has long been grappling with declining advertising revenues." (8/7/2019)

TEGNA is committed to returning capital to shareholders via a $0.28 annual dividend (yielding 1.9%) and share repurchases.
