Description: NYT New York Times January 06, 2026

The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT) operates two primary segments: the New York Times Group, which delivers the flagship newspaper, digital subscription, podcasts, cooking, games, audio, and the Wirecutter product-review platform; and The Athletic, a subscription-based sports media brand.

Its revenue streams include digital and print subscriptions, a diversified advertising portfolio (display, audio, video, and column-inch ads) sold to luxury, technology, and financial advertisers, and licensing fees for content repurposed by aggregators, academic institutions, and third-party platforms. The company also provides commercial printing and distribution services for external clients and runs the NYTimes.com website.

Key performance indicators that have emerged in 2024 show roughly 9 million total subscribers, with digital subscription revenue growing about 15 % year-over-year, while traditional print advertising continues to decline at a double-digit rate. Macro-level drivers include rising consumer willingness to pay for ad-free news, inflationary pressure on print production costs, and a broader industry shift toward subscription-first business models.

Given the firm’s strong brand moat, expanding digital subscriber base, and ongoing diversification into niche verticals like sports and product reviews, NYT’s earnings outlook is closely tied to subscriber retention rates, cost-control in printing, and the health of the digital advertising market.
