Blue Ant Media ( (TSE:BAMI) ) has issued an announcement.

Blue Ant Media reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $80.5 million, a 65% year-over-year increase driven by strong performance in its Studio business and contributions from recent acquisitions.

Management highlighted this strong liquidity and more than $100 million of available and expected capital as positioning Blue Ant to pursue further M&A, including the planned acquisition of Thunderbird Entertainment Group in early calendar 2026, underscoring its strategy to scale up and enhance earnings power in a consolidating media and content production industry.
