Paramount misses revenue estimates as weak ad market offsets streaming gains
NY Post
Paramount Global fell short of Wall Street estimates for quarterly revenue on Wednesday, weighed by intense competition from streaming rivals and a weak advertising market.
Shares of the company fell nearly 2% in trading after the bell.
The media industry has been grappling with a changing landscape of streaming gaining dominance over traditional television and the impact from the Hollywood strikes last year.
A soft advertising market and economic uncertainties have added to the pressure.
The media conglomerate reported overall fourth-quarter revenue of $7.64 billion, missing analysts’ estimate of $7.85 billion, according to LSEG data.
“We now expect to reach domestic Paramount+ profitability in 2025,” CEO Bob Bakish said.

Imagine if Allied intelligence had located Adolf Hitler in late May 1944 and killed him before the Normandy invasion. Imagine that in the same hour, strikes eliminated Hitler’s designated successor, the head of the German Armed Forces High Command, the chief operational planner of the war effort, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, responsible for defending Western Europe, and the rest of Germany’s field marshals and senior commanders.
