Nexstar Earnings: Consistency on Display Amid a National Advertising Slump
Nexstar’s fourth-quarter results and 2024 guidance were consistent with our expectations. Strong distribution growth in the quarter offset a continued year-over-year decline in core advertising. While the adjusted EBITDA margin fell in 2023, we expect a bounce-back with political revenue in 2024. Despite this, we are lowering our fair value estimate to $170 from $205 to reflect a steeper contraction in advertising and distribution growth than we previously assumed amid uncertainty about the future of linear TV.
