Canadian restructuring shifts STRZ to a licensing model, reducing operational costs and aligning cash content spend with programming amortization.
Starz Entertainment posts wider Q4 loss as revenues slip 6% on OTT weakness, but subscriber gains and OIBDA surge point to a 2026 cash flow turnaround.
Starz Entertainment (NASDAQ: STRZ) executives said the company delivered a "strong quarter" to close fiscal 2025 and outlined a 2026 plan centered on OTT revenue growth, improved cash generation, and lower leverage, while also signaling a shift away from quarterly subscriber disclosures.
