Invest in Nexstar
Nexstar
MEDIA GROUP, INC.
NXST has one of the best short and long-term stock price performances in media,
one of the highest percentage return of free cash flow to shareholders in media,
solid long-term growth prospects, and a low valuation
✓ Strong Continued Financial and Stock Price Performance: YTD 2022, Nexstar generated all-
time high net revenue and was one of the few stocks with a positive 1-year return in all of
media
✓ High Free Cash Flow Generation: Nexstar's business model is focused on free cash flow
generation. Consensus estimates show we will generate $2.9BN of cash flow for the Q422 -
Q424 period, representing just under 40% of our current market capitalization
✓ Returning Capital to Shareholders: We returned 64% of our LTM 9/30/22 free cash flow to
shareholders in the form of dividends and stock repurchases; Increased 2023 dividend by
50% to $5.40/share p.a., a 2.6% yield
Strong Balance Sheet: Our credit rating is Ba3/BB and we have low leverage of 3.2x
✓ Excellent short-term visibility and multiple long-term material growth initiatives: 2023 and
2024 will benefit from new retransmission consent deals and 2024 is a presidential political
year; we have multiple organic initiatives including NewsNation, The CW and ATSC 3.0 roll-
out that could generate material growth for Nexstar
The Opportunity: We are the largest company with top-tier operational performance
in the sector but trade at a mid-teens '22/'23 FCF Yield
Note: Stock price as of 1/27/23.
