Grafa2024-11-08

Paramount Global (NASDAQ:PARA) unveiled its third-quarter financial results today, showcasing a significant surge in its direct-to-consumer (DTC) operations, despite a shortfall in overall revenue.

The entertainment giant reported an operating income of $49 million for its DTC segment, marking a substantial $287 million improvement from the same quarter last year.

The company's streaming service, Paramount+, continued to expand its customer base, adding 3.5 million new subscribers this quarter.

This increase boosts its total to 72 million subscribers, reinforcing its position as the fourth-largest global subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service.

Despite these gains, Paramount's total revenue for the quarter stood at $6.73 billion, failing to meet the Bloomberg consensus expectations of $6.95 billion and reflecting a 6% decrease from the $7.13 billion reported in the third quarter of 2023.

On a brighter note, adjusted earnings per share rose to $0.49 from $0.30 in the year-earlier period, comfortably surpassing consensus expectations which had anticipated earnings of around $0.23 per share.
