Courtside Group Inc ( (PODC) ) just unveiled an update.

PodcastOne reported record financial results on February 12, 2026 for its third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2026 ended December 31, 2025, highlighted by Q3 revenue of $15.9 million, up 25% year over year, and adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million, up 516%, alongside year‑to‑date revenue of $46 million and adjusted EBITDA of $4.5 million. The company raised its full‑year fiscal 2026 guidance to $58–$60 million in revenue and $5–$6 million in adjusted EBITDA, supported by 25 new podcasts, expanded high‑value partnerships with Amazon’s Art19 and a Fortune 250 streaming partner, growing TV and streaming adaptations of its shows, and a sharply higher cash balance, developments that strengthen its operating profile and competitive position in the podcasting sector.

PodcastOne also issued preliminary fiscal 2027 guidance targeting $68–$75 million in revenue and $6–$10 million in adjusted EBITDA, and it scheduled a conference call and webcast on February 12, 2026 to discuss the results and outlook. While the company remains loss‑making on a net basis, narrowing operating losses, robust adjusted profitability metrics, and accelerating partner‑driven revenue run‑rates suggest improving scale and monetization that could be significant for investors, talent partners, and advertisers as the firm deepens its role among the top 10 podcast publishers by audience rankings.

The most recent analyst rating on (PODC) stock is a Hold with a $3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Courtside Group Inc stock, see the PODC Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on PODC Stock

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

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (persistent losses, margin compression, and a return to negative free cash flow) despite a low-leverage balance sheet. Offsetting this are upbeat guidance and improving EBITDA trends from the earnings call, supportive corporate updates (raised guidance/record results), and a constructive technical uptrend. Valuation remains difficult to support given negative earnings and no indicated dividend yield.
