What Happened?

Newsmax (NMAX) stock moved higher by 12% in pre-market after the company reported full-year 2025 results and issued stronger-than-expected guidance for 2026.

  • Full-year revenue came in at $189.3 million, up 10.7% year-over-year and at the high end of the company’s own guidance range.
  • That’s notable because 2025 was a non-election year — a period when advertising demand typically slows across media companies.
  • Broadcasting revenue was the standout, growing 17.3% to $153.3 million.
  • The company did report a net loss of $99.5 million for the year.
  • But the bulk of that — about $79 million — came from a legal settlement, not ongoing operations.
  • Adjusted EBITDA came in at a loss of $6.5 million, reflecting continued investment in content and technology.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Newsmax Stock

Newsmax stock has a story that goes beyond just earnings.

  • The company ended 2025 available in more than 100 countries, added Hulu TV to its distribution lineup, and renewed its deal with YouTube TV.
  • Its streaming service, Newsmax Plus, finished the year with just over 260,000 paid subscribers — still early days, but management flagged this as a near-term headwind they expect to work through.
  • Newsmax also ranks as the fourth highest-rated cable news network in the U.S., reaching more than 58 million viewers in 2025.

That kind of audience scale gives the company real leverage when negotiating affiliate fees going forward.
