Description: QUAD Quad Graphics October 28, 2025

Quad/Graphics (NYSE: QUAD) is a global marketing-solutions provider that operates through U.S. Print & Related Services and International segments. Its core offerings span traditional print products-retail inserts, catalogs, directories, newspapers, packaging, and specialty commercial prints-as well as paper procurement and ink manufacturing. Beyond print, Quad delivers data-intelligence, analytics, technology platforms, media planning, creative strategy, and content execution across digital and broadcast channels, plus imaging and medical services, serving blue-chip clients in retail, CPG, financial services, and health.

Key recent metrics indicate the company is navigating a mixed environment: FY 2023 revenue was approximately $2.5 billion, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 8 % and free cash flow of $150 million, reflecting modest profitability despite higher paper commodity prices. The commercial-printing sector is being reshaped by three primary drivers-(1) a gradual shift of advertising spend toward digital formats, (2) volatile pulp and paper costs that compress margins, and (3) increasing demand for data-driven, omnichannel marketing solutions, which Quad is positioning to capture through its analytics and technology services.
