Ziff Davis, Inc.: what insiders have been doing
Ziff Davis, Inc., classified in the Media & Communication sector, is a listed company based in New York City, founded in 1927. Its insiders report their share dealings to SEC (Form 4). The last twelve months, up to 18 October 2026, brought 24 filings signed by 12 insiders.
There is no open-market purchase to report; the filings show 3 sales worth €431k by 3 insiders. The largest single trade was a sale of €182k by Rossen Jeremy, published on 11 August 2026, equal to 0.011% of the market capitalisation.
Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 3 days. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification.
Across the 5,458 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 22 filings; at 24 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. The full history, which starts in 2016, counts 15 purchases against 9 sales. On the fundamentals side, the SEC filing (10-K) for the period ending 31 December 2025 lists revenue at 1.45 bn USD and net income at 47.4 m USD.

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.

From a business-model perspective, Ziff Davis operates across a mix of advertising, subscriptions, lead generation, software, and cloud-based services. It also serves enterprise customers through cybersecurity, privacy, and marketing technology offerings. This diversified revenue structure gives the company exposure to several end markets while reducing reliance on any single title or product line. In competitive terms, Ziff Davis has positioned itself as a consolidator in digital niches where audience quality, specialized content, and monetization efficiency matter. The company has historically used acquisitions to expand its customer base, broaden product offerings, and enter adjacent markets.

Recent developments are especially relevant for investors following SEC Form 4 insider activity. In February 2026, Ziff Davis reported full-year 2025 results showing growth in revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow, alongside meaningful share repurchases. In May 2026, management announced a definitive agreement to sell the Connectivity business and stated it was exploring additional value-creating transactions. Taken together, these updates suggest an active portfolio-repositioning phase, with potential implications for margin profile, capital allocation, and the future earnings mix.
