ZIFF DAVIS (ZD) GUIDED FOR GROWTH, DELIVERED A DECLINE -- LEVI & KORSINSKY, LLP INVESTIGATES
Levi & Korsinsky, LLP investigates whether Ziff Davis management misled investors with repeated growth assurances before the Q4 2025 earnings miss
NEW YORK, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ziff Davis, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZD) investors lost more than 10% of their holdings after the Company reported Q4 2025 results that contradicted months of management assurances about accelerating revenue growth. Shareholders who lost money on ZD are encouraged to submit their information here. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
On August 8, 2025, during the Q2 2025 earnings call, CEO Vivek Shah told investors: "we currently anticipate at least mid-single-digit revenue growth for both Q3 and Q4 2025, with Q4 potentially being a bit stronger than Q3." On the same call, Shah reaffirmed the Company's fiscal year 2025 guidance range, stating: "We are not altering the range at this time." On November 7, 2025, Shah went further: "We are confident that revenue growth will accelerate in the fourth quarter, not just from timing benefits, but underlying strength in the pipeline and the introduction of new products." CFO Bret Richter separately reaffirmed the fiscal year 2025 guidance range on the same call.
When Q4 2025 results were released, ZD reported revenue that declined approximately 1.5% year-over-year -- not the mid-single-digit growth or acceleration that management had projected. Adjusted Diluted earnings per share came in at $2.56, compared to consensus estimates of $2.70. The stock fell more than 10% following the announcement.
