An update from BuzzFeed ( (BZFD) ) is now available.

On March 12, 2026, BuzzFeed reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results that were broadly in line with prior guidance, highlighting a 2.4% decline in annual revenue to $185.3 million but a 61.4% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA to $8.8 million. The company grew programmatic advertising by 7.4%, nearly tripled studio revenue to $16.1 million on the back of three feature films, and increased content revenue, even as commerce and affiliate revenue fell and audience time spent declined amid tough comparisons to the 2024 U.S. presidential election cycle.

Despite operational improvements, BuzzFeed posted a 2025 net loss from continuing operations of $57.3 million, widened by a $30.2 million non-cash goodwill impairment tied to a sustained share price decline, and ended Q4 2025 with a $26.8 million quarterly net loss. Management emphasized a significant perceived gap between asset value and market capitalization, ongoing liquidity challenges and legacy commitments, and said it is actively exploring strategic options while withholding 2026 financial guidance, underscoring continued uncertainty for investors even as BuzzFeed maintains leading U.S. engagement metrics versus digital media competitors.

The most recent analyst rating on (BZFD) stock is a Hold with a $0.82 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on BuzzFeed stock, see the BZFD Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on BZFD Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BZFD is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (declining revenue, negative profitability, and poor cash flow) and a bearish longer-term technical trend (price below key moving averages with negative MACD). Valuation is also constrained by a negative P/E and no dividend yield data.
