New $2M share repurchase authorized
Value Line, Inc. launched a new stock repurchase program on October 29, 2025, authorizing up to $2,000,000 in buybacks with no price cap or end date, replacing the prior 2022 initiative.

Q1 FY2026 results

FY2025 results
Value Line's FY2025 results showed net income of $20.7 million, up 8.8% y/y, driven by a 37.9% surge in EAM distributions to $18.3 million amid 12.0% AUM growth to $4.68 billion, though publishing revenues dipped 6.4% to $35.1 million on print declines. Q4 net income fell 17.4% y/y to $4.0 million, with operating income dropping to $0.8 million from $1.5 million, reflecting softer copyright fees tied to market trends. Equity funds fueled AUM momentum, up 12.1% annually, while print circulation slid 1.9% but digital held steady. Liquidity strengthened with $77.4 million in cash, supporting $11.3 million in dividends and $0.5 million buybacks. No annual guidance disclosed. Dependence on EAM's performance risks quarterly volatility from fund flows.
