Dow Jones

Shares of Comscore rose after the company said it has improved its financial position and expects cross-platform revenues to continue growing by double digits.

Shares rose 5% to $7.54 in after-hours trading. Ahead of Tuesday's close, the stock was up 19% over the past 12 months.

The media analytics company on Tuesday recorded a profit of $3 million, compared with a profit of $3.1 million a year earlier.

Fourth-quarter revenue fell to $93.5 million, down from $94.9 million a year prior. Full-year revenue ticked up to $357.5 million from $356 million.

The company reported 24% growth in its cross-platform solutions for the year. It said it expects cross-platform revenue to continue growing by double digits in 2026, offsetting declines in the national TV and syndicated digital products.

During the fourth quarter, the company closed a recapitalization transaction, which it said eliminated an $18 million annual dividend burden and the preferred stockholders' right to $47 million in special dividends.

"Following the recapitalization transaction we closed in Q4 2025, we are now in a better position to evaluate additional strategic actions with the potential to further streamline our capital structure, enhance our financial profile, unlock growth and simplify our business," the company said.

For the current first quarter, the company expects revenue to be roughly flat year over year. It said full-year revenue would follow similar trends to 2025.
