NYT:NYSENew York Times Company (The) analysis

Data as of Oct 17, 2026 - not real-time

Latest price
$67.78
Risk: medium
4/10Medium risk

Summary

The New York Times Company is priced at $67.78 and its moving averages line up in bearish order, the shorter trailing the longer. It has gained 1.1% over the past 30 days. Relative strength is 55.2 — neutral — and the MACD signal is bullish. The recent range runs from support at $58.95 up to resistance at $70.78.
The shares look overvalued, trading on 28.2 times earnings above a sector average of 16.2. Consensus targets land 13.4% above where the shares trade now. Revenue is growing at 11.3% on a 13.3% profit margin. The 1.36% dividend yield looks covered by current payout levels.
On a 1-10 scale the risk profile lands at 4 — moderate. With 30-day volatility of 39.6%, a beta of 0.06 and a maximum drawdown of 27.9%, position sizing matters here. The wider market backdrop reads extreme greed at 86 on the fear-greed composite.
The horizons diverge: sell near-term but hold on a long view, at 2/10 conviction over the longer horizon.
