Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 22/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

BUZZFEED INC has an operating margin of -25.9%, meaning the company retains $-26 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 0/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from -12.4% the prior year.

Growth

BUZZFEED INC's revenue declined 2.4% year-over-year, from $189.9M to $185.3M. This contraction results in a growth score of 29/100.

Leverage

BUZZFEED INC carries a low D/E ratio of 0.56, meaning only $0.56 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 91/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

BUZZFEED INC's current ratio of 0.90 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 13/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow

While BUZZFEED INC generated -$18.7M in operating cash flow, capex of $2.0M consumed most of it, leaving -$20.7M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

BUZZFEED INC generates a -116.9% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from -9.6% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

3/9

BUZZFEED INC passes 3 of 9 financial strength tests. 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 2 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.32x

For every $1 of reported earnings, BUZZFEED INC generates $0.32 in operating cash flow (-$18.7M OCF vs -$57.7M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage At Risk

-8.4x

BUZZFEED INC earns $-8.4 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$47.9M vs $5.7M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
