▲(9.65% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:08/18/26
The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (large losses, high leverage, and negative operating/free cash flow). Offsetting factors include a technically improved price trend and an earnings-call narrative showing tangible balance-sheet actions and strong digital momentum, but near-term guidance remains pressured and profitability is still negative.
Positive Factors
Digital revenue growth and mix shift
Digital growth and a rising owned-and-operated mix can make BBGI's advertising model more diversified and scalable. Continued cross-platform adoption may improve audience monetization and reduce reliance on traditional broadcast inventory over time.
Negative Factors
Persistent revenue contraction
A multiyear revenue decline, reinforced by weak near-term guidance, indicates sustained pressure on advertising demand and audience monetization. Lower sales limit operating leverage and make it harder for cost reductions and digital investment to restore profitability.

Beasley Broadcast Group Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 13, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Nov 04, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call presents a balanced picture: significant constructive actions on the balance sheet, clear digital revenue momentum and targeted market wins provide tangible upside, but they coexist with meaningful top-line declines, compressed profitability (negative adjusted EBITDA), and ongoing macro-driven weakness in national and discretionary categories. Management has a defined turnaround playbook and expects the benefits to materialize over time, but near-term pacing and Q2 guidance remain pressured.Positive Updates
Digital Revenue Growth and Mix Shift
Total digital revenue of approximately $10.7M in Q1, representing over 25% of company revenue. Digital grew ~18% on a same-station basis (management) and owned & operated (O&O) digital grew ~26% year-over-year, with O&O now ~65% of digital revenue (up from ~49% prior year).
Negative Updates
Material Revenue Decline
Reported net revenue of approximately $41.3M for Q1 (noting bracketed/alternate figures in transcript up to $46.2M); management reported declines of 6.7% year-over-year on a same-station basis (Caroline) and Ilana reported a 13% year-over-year decline — indicating meaningful top-line pressure and some reporting variability.

Company Guidance
Management guided that Q2 same‑station revenue is expected to be down mid‑ to high‑single digits, noting April finished down ~2% after entering the month down 10% and May/June currently pacing similarly; they pointed to digital mix, pipeline visibility and sales discipline as leading indicators (Q1 digital was ~$10.7M or >25% of revenue, up 18% same‑station, O&O digital up ~26% YOY and now ~65% of digital vs 49% prior year, with a market target of ≥35% digital) and said revenue recovery must translate to SOI improvement (Q1 net revenue ~$46.2M, SOI $418k, adjusted EBITDA ~‑$375k, cash interest ~$3.3M, capex $700k). On capital and cost actions they highlighted a stronger liquidity profile after the Fort Myers sale (~$18M) and prior WPBB sale (~$8M), exchanging ~ $184M of second‑lien into ~ $98M of PIK notes, repurchasing ~ $16M of first‑lien, adding a $35M ABL, ending the quarter with ~ $218M total debt and ~$6.4M cash, and expecting nearly $2M of annualized savings from an early retirement plus ~ $5M of further annualized cost reductions.Beasley Broadcast Group Financial Statement Overview
