Details M&A cadence, refi status
Q&A offered incremental color on early 2026 traffic, calling Q1 the new base amid volatility, while stressing monetization focus and lean costs. Management targets ad revenue below 50% this year, with margins holding steady as non-ad growth offsets ShopHQ's profile. Capital priorities favor 1-2 tuck-in M&A quarterly and debt work over buybacks until refinancing—productive talks underway at sub-2x leverage, but no timeline shared. Buybacks stay shelved. Investors will watch diversification progress and refi execution.
