ZIFF DAVIS, INC. (ZD) Form 10-Q — Aug 7, 2026
Ziff Davis reported Q2 2026 revenue of $286.7 million, down about 2.7% from $294.8 million a year earlier, and swung to a net loss from continuing operations of $52.2 million (diluted EPS -$1.43) versus $14.3 million of net income in Q2 2025. The loss was driven by a $54.8 million goodwill impairment in a Health & Wellness reporting unit following reduced forecasted revenue and EBITDA, plus a $1.8 million software impairment in the same segment; Technology & Shopping (-5.0%) and Health & Wellness (-4.8%) revenue both declined year over year.
