Ziff Davis rated 'strong buy' for its smart asset sales and share buybacks boosting earnings.

Ziff Davis has earned a 'strong buy' rating due to its effective strategy of acquiring, improving, and selling digital assets at premiums, similar to private equity. Despite slight declines in revenue and EBITDA, its aggressive share buyback program increased adjusted earnings per share by 13.2% year-over-year, demonstrating strong capital allocation. The recent $1.216 billion sale of its Connectivity division to Accenture nearly matched its pre-announcement equity value, highlighting the undervaluation of its portfolio. Stabilization in key business segments and a diverse revenue mix suggest that Ziff Davis's assets are worth more than current market prices reflect.
