    Earnings call transcript: E.W. Scripps posts Q2 2026 loss, shares jump 24%

    E.W. Scripps reported a significant Q2 2026 loss of $12.68 per share, largely due to a $1.1 billion non-cash impairment charge related to its Scripps Networks business, and revenue fell short of forecasts. Despite the headline loss, the company's shares jumped 24% in after-hours trading, driven by investor optimism regarding strategic cost cuts, strong political advertising, and a more positive outlook for the remainder of the year. Management also highlighted renewed distribution deals and a focus on sports, local news, and technology to reshape the business and achieve $100 million in annual run-rate savings by year-end 2026.
