Bulls say / Bears say
Sinclair expects record 2026 political advertising of about $455 million, lifting its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to $825–$835 million. Third-quarter revenue rose 16% year on year and adjusted EBITDA more than doubled. (Sinclair, Inc.)
The company is paying down debt: it retired or repaid about $355 million of principal year to date, and leverage fell to 5.1 times from 6.0 times a year earlier. It also ended the quarter with about $1.4 billion of available liquidity. (Sinclair, Inc.)
Tennis Channel offers a growth avenue beyond local broadcasting: third-quarter revenue rose 6%, with core advertising up 21% and direct-to-consumer subscribers continuing to grow. The company says it is investing in streaming apps and digital reach to build on that momentum. (Sinclair, Inc., TheWrap)
The 2026 earnings surge relies heavily on political ads, which are cyclical; management expects 2027 to lack the Olympics and World Cup and flagged uncertainty around the MLB season. That makes it harder to sustain this year’s elevated results. (Sinclair, Inc., TheWrap)
Underlying core advertising remains weak: it fell 4% in the third quarter, as management cited cautious spending in consumer-facing categories amid cost pressures and inflation. Political ad placements also displaced some regular advertising. (Sinclair, Inc.)
Sinclair still carries about $4.0 billion of debt, with leverage at 5.1 times and expected 2026 net interest expense of $290–$295 million. That substantial financing bill limits the cash available for shareholders or investment. (Sinclair, Inc., U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
