Nexstar Earnings: Strong Political and Distribution Revenue Delivers Despite Core Ad Struggles
No-moat Nexstar Media Group’s third-quarter results were broadly in line with our expectations. Strong political advertising and distribution revenue drove record third-quarter sales. The potential for positive regulatory changes and slight slowing of pay-TV subscriber attrition rates paint a less volatile picture than Nexstar has experienced recently. After adjusting our model for more positive short-term distribution revenue growth and worse core advertising, we are raising our fair value estimate to $175 per share from $170.
