Did AMCX Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
AMC Networks closed out Q4 2025 with a quiet beat that underscored how far its streaming pivot has come, posting adjusted EPS of $0.64 against a consensus estimate of $0.58, a 10.34% beat, while revenue of $594.80 million edged past the $582.89 milli… Read more AMC Networks closed out Q4 2025 with a quiet beat that underscored how far its streaming pivot has come, posting adjusted EPS of $0.64 against a consensus estimate of $0.58, a 10.34% beat, while revenue of $594.80 million edged past the $582.89 million estimate by 2.04%, even as it slipped 0.8% from the year-ago period. The most material driver was a 14% surge in Q4 streaming revenue to $177.00 million, a milestone that pushed streaming past linear channels to become the largest single domestic revenue source, a moment CEO Kristin Dolan described as a significant inflection point. That momentum helped offset a 13% decline in traditional affiliate revenue and a 10% drop in advertising, both casualties of continuing linear ratings pressure. Free cash flow of $272.37 million for the full year exceeded the company's own raised forecast, and management sees at least $200 million in free cash flow for 2026, supported by a programming slate featuring new seasons of Dark Winds and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon alongside the new original series The Audacity.
Key Takeaways
- • Streaming revenue growth of 14% in Q4 driven by price increases across services
- • Streaming is now the largest single revenue component for Domestic Operations
- • Content licensing revenues increased 12% due to availability of deliveries
- • Significant affiliate renewal activity representing more than a third of US and Canada subscriber footprint
- • More than 1.1 million Spectrum TV customers activated ad-supported AMC+ on Charter

We look forward to continuing to take advantage of our independence and unique strengths as we drive the company forward during a time of change in our industry.”
