Ziff Davis, Inc. (ZD) Receives a Buy from Evercore ISIWe maintain our Outperform rating and lower our PT to $60 (from $75) on ZD in the wake of a Miss & Lower Q4. Q4 missed both ISI/Street & management’s internal forecasts driven by a shortfall of roughly ~$10MM, largely due to weakness in Humble Games and Connectivity (on Ookla/Ekahau re-org and some lumpiness in licensing deals). The FY25 guides also came in modestly below ISI/Street (at the midpoint) calling for H2 Revenue growth to accelerate on tougher comps with modest margin improvements in H2, arguably increasing the FY25 execution risk profile. All in, we continue to view ZD as a solid value play with organic Revenue growth set to accelerate to MSD% exiting FY25, sustainable mid-30s EBITDA Margin, healthy FCF conversion and an attractive valuation at 5X ’26 EV/EBITDA. Reit Outperform.
