    ZD: Asset Sale And Buybacks Will Support Future Earnings And Repricing Potential

    Ziff Davis's fair value has increased to $64.40 from $55, primarily due to updated assumptions regarding discount rates, revenue trends, profit margins, and a higher future P/E multiple. The company reported a Q2 2026 adjusted EPS miss but completed the sale of its Connectivity division for $1.2 billion and actively repurchased shares, reducing its count by nearly 11% year to date. Ziff Davis is also leveraging AI in its engineering practices and is subject to acquisition speculation for its various divisions.
