Meridian Growth Fund ArrowMark Colorado Holdings, LLC | “Ziff Davis, Inc. operates through two primary segments: Business Cloud Services and Digital Media. The management team has a demonstrated track record of disciplined capital allocation and value creation, particularly through strategic, accretive acquisitions. The stock rebounded following the company's first return to organic growth in nearly four years, marking a clear inflection point and helping to restore investor confidence. EBITDA margin expansion reflected a healthy balance between profitability and reinvestment. Additionally, enhanced segment-level disclosure has improved transparency, enabling more robust sum-of-the-parts analysis and allowing the market to better assess intrinsic value. We believe sustained organic growth, combined with continued disciplined M&A execution, provides a path for further multiple expansion. Given the company's attractive valuation and improving fundamentals, we maintained our position during the period. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15} BSD Analysis: ZD's mix shift and returning organic growth set the stage for multiple expansion. Strong FCF and M&A discipline remain hallmarks; improved disclosure tightens the SOTP case. Execution on growth and margins should drive upside.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Meridian Growth Fund ArrowMark Colorado Holdings, LLC | “Ziff Davis, Inc. operates businesses in two primary segments: business cloud services and digital media. The company delivered solid results for the quarter, beating revenue and EBITDA expectations while management confirmed annual guidance and called for accelerating quarterly growth. However, shares came under pressure as investors did not see enough evidence of improved organic growth or significant acquisitions. We were encouraged by early signs that the company's acquisition strategy is beginning to bear fruit and believe it is nearing an inflection point for improved organic growth, which we view as a potential catalyst for investor sentiment. In addition, Ziff Davis recently filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against OpenAI, which could result in a favorable settlement over the intermediate term. We modestly trimmed our position in the company during the period. BSD Analysis: Ziff Davis continues to face skepticism around its organic growth trajectory despite improving execution and stable M&A optionality. Shares trade below historical EV/EBITDA averages, reflecting uncertainty in digital advertising and cloud services growth durability. A successful legal outcome or renewed acquisition cadence could reaccelerate sentiment, while improving EBITDA margins offer downside support. Key risks include muted digital ad markets and slower cloud adoption trends.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
