Description: NMAX Newsmax January 17, 2026
Newsmax Inc. (NYSE:NMAX) operates as a U.S. television broadcaster and multi-platform content publisher through two segments: Broadcasting, which creates and licenses news, business, and lifestyle programming for cable, satellite and telecom distribution (including the 24/7 Newsmax and Newsmax2 channels and the historical “World at War” network); and Digital, which monetizes online advertising, subscription-based newsletters and magazines, and sales of nutraceutical and nonfiction books.
In its most recent fiscal year, the company reported revenue of roughly $166 million, with digital advertising up about 12% year-over-year and the subscription base exceeding 250 k paying members, driving an estimated ARPU of $45. The broader conservative-media sector remains sensitive to overall U.S. advertising spend, which is closely linked to consumer confidence and CPI trends, while the ongoing decline in traditional cable subscriptions continues to push Newsmax toward a more digital-first revenue mix.
