<p class="has-drop-cap">Buzzfeed (NASDAQ: BZFD), the prominent digital media company known for its viral content and journalism, will likely release its fourth-quarter financial results on March 25, 2024, following the close of the market.</p>
<h3 id="wall-street-expects-buzzfeed-s-q4-eps-to-be-0-06">Wall Street Expects Buzzfeed’s Q4 EPS to be $0.06</h3>
<p>Wall Street analysts have closely monitored Buzzfeed’s progress and set expectations for the upcoming earnings report. The consensus among analysts suggests that the company will report <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/p-e-ratio/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">earnings per share</a> (EPS) of <a aria-label="$0.06 (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/bzfd/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">$0.06</a>, a notable improvement from the loss of $0.75 per share experienced in the same quarter of the previous year. <br><br>This positive shift in earnings has garnered attention from investors keen to see if Buzzfeed can sustain this upward trajectory.</p>
<p>However, analysts have also projected that Buzzfeed’s revenue will decline 22.29% compared to the prior year quarter, with an expected revenue of $104.6 million.</p>
<p>This decrease in revenue reflects the ongoing adjustments and strategic shifts within the company as it navigates the challenges posed by the dynamic digital media industry.</p>

<h3 id="impact-of-complex-sale">Impact of Complex Sale</h3>
<p>During the <a href="https://investors.buzzfeed.com/news-releases/news-release-details/buzzfeed-inc-announces-third-quarter-2023-financial-results" target="_blank" aria-label="third quarter of 2023 (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">third quarter of 2023</a>, Buzzfeed reported an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.09, which fell slightly below the forecasted -$0.08 but demonstrated a year-over-year improvement from the -$0.19 reported in the same quarter of the previous year. <br><br>This improvement in profitability has been a focal point for the company as it navigates the challenges of the digital media landscape.</p>
<p>Buzzfeed’s historical revenue trends have been variable in recent quarters, reflecting its efforts to stabilize and improve its financial outcomes amid changing market conditions. As the fourth-quarter earnings report approaches, investors and analysts will closely monitor key highlights and strategic moves that could shape the company’s future.</p>
<p>One significant development is Buzzfeed’s announcement of <a aria-label="selling Complex to NTWRK (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeedpress/buzzfeed-inc-announces-sale-of-complex-to-ntwrk-in-all-cash" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">selling Complex to NTWRK</a> for $108.6 million in an all-cash deal. <br><br>This strategic move aims to enhance profitability and allow the company to focus more on its core brands, including Buzzfeed, HuffPost, First We Feast (featuring the popular show “Hot Ones”), and Tasty. <br><br>Additionally, Buzzfeed plans to implement a 16% reduction in its workforce, expected to result in approximately $23 million in annualized compensation cost savings. This restructuring is designed to streamline operations, reduce centralized costs, and make the company more agile and profitable.</p>
<p>Buzzfeed intends to utilize the proceeds from the sale of Complex to redeem a portion of its convertible notes due in 2026, eliminate its revolving credit facility, finance the strategic restructuring, and optimize working capital.</p>
<p>CEO Jonah Peretti has emphasized the company’s focus on iconic brands and the acceleration of innovation powered by AI and interactive content formats as key strategic moves for Buzzfeed’s next growth stage.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
