Frequently asked questions
Is ZD growing its revenue and profit?
Over the past 5 years, Ziff Davis, Inc.'s revenue has grown 1.4% per year, and net income declined 20.7% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.
How much debt does ZD have?
As of FY2025, Ziff Davis, Inc. reported $867M of total debt against $574M of cash; operating income covered interest expense 4.9×.
What is ZD's profit margin?
In FY2025, gross margin was 85.8%, operating margin 12.6%, and net margin 3.3%.
What is ZD's P/E ratio?
Ziff Davis, Inc.'s P/E (TTM) is 2.83 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the ZD stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 38.5× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.
Where does this data come from?
All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.

against the latest annual filing. Informational only — not investment advice.
