Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the iHeartMedia share price today? iHeartMedia, Inc.'s share price was $2.05 at the close on 4 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 17 weeks. That is 39.7% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $2 and $6, and at that close it sat 9% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 17 weeks running. Over the last 7.3 years the share price moved −87% while the S&P 500 moved +158%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 10 July 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does iHeartMedia pay? iHeartMedia, Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is iHeartMedia on? iHeartMedia is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is iHeartMedia profitable? iHeartMedia, Inc. posted a net loss of $82.5 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. The full FY25 year was a loss of $472 M. That loss is 8.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $84.0 M. 10 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. ## How much revenue does iHeartMedia make, and is it growing? iHeartMedia, Inc. reported $977 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +4.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 2.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $3.9 B. The last four reported quarters add to $4.0 B. FY25 revenue was $3.9 B, +0.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +3.5% on average, against 2.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +3.1%, against +3.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising). ## How much of every $100 of sales does iHeartMedia keep? iHeartMedia, Inc.'s operating margin was 3.6% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.5 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 4.1% and 9.4%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.9 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is iHeartMedia's profit turning into cash? iHeartMedia, Inc.'s cash-flow history is too short to judge how much of its profit turns into cash. In FY25 it brought in $92.6 M of operating cash against −$472 M of profit. After $81.7 M of spending on assets, $10.9 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does iHeartMedia's cash go? iHeartMedia, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $282 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 2.4% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $282 M over the last 3 years. In short: most of the cash goes on covering the loss, not on new assets; spending on assets is small next to it. ## What is iHeartMedia's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? iHeartMedia, Inc. has no P/E right now, because its earnings are negative. The revenue and margin sections are where a turn would show first. Measured against sales instead, the market values iHeartMedia, Inc. at 0.1× its FY25 revenue of $3.9 B. The P/E comes back here once profit turns positive. ## Is the iHeartMedia business getting better or worse? iHeartMedia, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 1 measure, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. The return-on-capital line is not shown: net worth is negative, so a return on capital means nothing. The balance sheet is in distress, and this reading uses the growth lines alone. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does iHeartMedia earn on its capital? iHeartMedia, Inc. earned a ROE of 26% in FY25. That is up from a low of −38% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 0.7 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −12.2% net margin and 0.75× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −12.2% net margin × 0.75× asset turnover × −2.81× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 25.7% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 5.4% − 6.1% = −0.7 percentage points. The 6.1% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 5.4% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 4.4%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does iHeartMedia have too much debt? iHeartMedia, Inc.'s net worth is negative: it owes more than it owns, so a debt-to-equity ratio means nothing here. Year by year, that ratio went from 7.17 in FY21 to −3.17 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the iHeartMedia shareholding pattern? 3.8% of iHeartMedia, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 7.2 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is iHeartMedia from balance-sheet trouble? For iHeartMedia, Inc., the Z-score is −0.34. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of −0.34 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does iHeartMedia rank in its industry? 39.8 out of 100, rank 6 of 11 in Broadcasting, with 67% of the evidence available. iHeartMedia, Inc. scores 39.8 out of 100 against the 11 companies it is compared with in Broadcasting, ranking 6. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 16.3 + 11.4 + 10.8 + 1.3 = 39.8. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is iHeartMedia compared with? iHeartMedia ranks 6 of 11 Broadcasting companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 39.8 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Jun 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

## What else do people ask about iHeartMedia? ### What were iHeartMedia's latest quarterly results? iHeartMedia, Inc. reported revenue of $977 M and a net loss of $82.5 M for the Jun 2026 quarter. Earnings per share were −$0.52. The operating margin was 3.6%, 0.5 percentage points lower than a year earlier (as of 4 November 2026). ### What is iHeartMedia's market cap? iHeartMedia, Inc.'s market capitalisation is $325 M at a stock price of $2.05. Market cap is the share price times the number of shares, so it changes whenever the price moves (as of 4 November 2026). ### How is iHeartMedia performing? iHeartMedia, Inc.'s share price has been moving sideways for 17 weeks. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, for 17 weeks running. This describes what the data did, not a rating (as of 4 November 2026). ### Will iHeartMedia's stock price go up? This page does not forecast iHeartMedia, Inc.'s stock price. What it shows instead: the stock price is $2.05, and it has been moving sideways for 17 weeks. Nobody can reliably say which way a price will move, and this site does not try (as of 4 November 2026). ### Where is iHeartMedia in its business cycle? iHeartMedia, Inc.'s FY25 operating margin was 5.0%, against a 5-year range of 4.1% to 9.4%: the low end of its own range, which is often where recoveries start. The latest quarter was 3.6%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 4 November 2026). ### What could break the iHeartMedia story? Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 4 November 2026). ### Is iHeartMedia a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: iHeartMedia, Inc.'s balance sheet is under water: its net worth is negative, so it owes more than it owns. This is a high-risk situation: shareholders can be wiped out by new shares or a restructuring before the business recovers. The main open question: whether the business can earn its way back to positive net worth before new shares or a restructuring get there first. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 4 November 2026). This is research, not advice. We’re not SEBI-registered.
