Daily Journal Corporation reported a weak quarter as investment marks swung sharply negative. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, revenue rose to $19.5 million from $17.7 million, driven mainly by Journal Technologies’ higher licensing, maintenance, and other public service fees, plus modest advertising growth in the Traditional Business.
Operating income was $0.5 million, down from $0.7 million, as salaries, outside services, hosting, and advisory costs increased. A sharp $11.7 million unrealized loss on marketable securities (versus a $13.4 million gain a year earlier) turned results to a net loss of $8.0 million, compared with $10.9 million of net income. The securities portfolio still totaled $481.3 million with $342.2 million of cumulative unrealized gains before tax. The company repaid $2.0 million on its margin loan, reducing the balance to $20.0 million, and ended the quarter with $486.6 million of working capital. The board approved the sale of a largely unused building with a $3.5 million carrying value. Management continued an extensive remediation program for previously disclosed material weaknesses; disclosure controls are not yet effective pending sustained testing.
