Nine Entertainment reported a 17% lift in fiscal 2026 underlying EBITDA to AUD 379 million, excluding divested units. It was boosted by three months' contribution from recently acquired QMS Media. A final unfranked DPS of AUD 0.03 was declared, with the total for the year unchanged at AUD 0.075.
Nine Entertainment commands a strong position in the Australian free-to-air television industry, with number-two ratings and revenue share positions.
Nine Entertainment's recent increase in ratings and revenue share has come at the expense of Ten Network. There is a risk of mean reversion as Ten Network recovers from its current all-time low position.
