Ziff Davis, Inc. (ticker: ZD) is a U.S.-based company listed on the NASDAQ market in the United States.

The company’s roots go back to 1927, but the modern Ziff Davis is the result of a long transformation from a legacy publishing business into a diversified digital platform supported by acquisitions and portfolio management.
