Integrated Media Technology Faces Nasdaq Cutoff, Reverse-Split Vote Ahead

Integrated Media Technology Limited held steady in early U.S. premarket trading Thursday, with the Nasdaq-listed stock still only around 50% of the price needed to meet an exchange requirement. Shares last traded at $0.5224, up 0.46% from the prior close before the session started. This is key right now as the Australian company faces a June 29 deadline to meet Nasdaq’s $1 minimum bid rule. The exchange requires a stock’s closing bid to stay above $1 to keep its listing.

MediaCo Shares Up, Nasdaq Decision Ahead for MDIA

MediaCo Holding Inc. ticked up Wednesday, but the stock stuck under $1. Shares last changed hands at $0.8987, gaining around 1%, with an intraday range from $0.8626 to $0.8996. Around 18,601 shares traded. Market cap stood at roughly $73.4 million. But even with the recent gain, the listing issue remains. In December, MediaCo said Nasdaq flagged its shares for a minimum bid-price violation after they traded below $1 for 30 days in a row. The clock runs until June 17, 2026—MediaCo has to get shares to close at $1 or higher for 10 straight business days to get back into compliance. Otherwise, delisting could follow. The company said it might look at moves like a reverse stock split.

Fuji Media’s First Operating Loss Shows Sponsor Exodus Is Still Hurting Japan TV

Fuji Media Holdings reported an operating loss of 8.77 billion yen for the year ended March 2026, swinging from an 18.29 billion yen profit the previous year. The company blamed the downturn on the lingering impact of a sexual misconduct scandal that dented its mainstay TV ad revenues. Net sales came in at 551.87 billion yen, up just 0.2%. Net income landed at 6.50 billion yen, marking a recovery from last year’s 20.13 billion yen loss. The company’s full-year loss delivers more than just a blow to its image—it’s now showing up in the numbers. Jiji said Fuji Media just posted its first annual operating loss since 2008, the year it adopted a certified broadcast holding-company structure, a regulatory framework

ITV PLC Share Price Rises as Sky Deal Watch Puts Broadcaster Back in Focus

ITV PLC finished Monday’s session in London up 0.81% at 80.90 pence, giving the broadcaster a market cap near £3.03 billion. Investors tracked developments on its talks with Sky, owned by Comcast. Volume landed at 17.3 million shares. It was a thin London session, and the FTSE 100 slipped 0.6%—that’s six days down in a row. The FTSE 250 barely budged, finishing flat. ITV managed to eke out a small gain, but that stood out as its own story, not a broader market move.

Warner-Paramount Merger Clears $111 Billion Hurdle as Zaslav’s $887 Million Payday Gets Rejected

Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery cleared the shareholder hurdle, with investors backing the deal but rejecting the associated executive pay package—sending a clear signal to CEO David Zaslav and his team. According to a filing, 1.74 billion votes supported the merger, just 16.3 million opposed, but when it came to the pay proposal, 1.44 billion shareholders voted no. This vote pushes the $110 billion-plus merger past shareholders, giving regulators the next move. Back in late March, the U.S. Justice Department issued subpoenas targeting studio output, content rights, streaming competition, and theaters. London and European officials are also set to review the deal.

Zoom taps PMG as first global media agency of record as it pushes beyond meetings

Zoom Communications has appointed PMG as its inaugural global media agency of record, tasking the independent firm with a wide-ranging remit while Zoom ramps up its marketing push. “We wanted a partner that could help us translate innovation into measurable business impact globally,” said Whitney Magnuson, Zoom’s head of brand strategy and activation. Zoom is looking for an edge, while Microsoft Teams and Alphabet’s Google Meet keep tying their apps into broader workplace suites—leaving standalone platforms scrambling to compete on cost. Only last week, Zoom warned investors that quarterly profit would likely fall short of Wall Street expectations. The company flagged ongoing tough competition and cautious spending by businesses as possible drags on earnings, despite fresh AI tools rolling out.

Meta’s $50M-a-year News Corp AI deal shows how expensive training data is getting

Meta Platforms and News Corp have struck a multiyear content licensing deal that could see the publisher receive as much as $50 million annually, according to the Wall Street Journal. This deal stands out as tech companies hunt for new, trustworthy data to power their AI—software that studies data patterns to spit out text or respond to questions. Newsrooms, for their part, are aiming to turn that frenzy into a steady income stream instead of legal battles.

Netflix stock: Paramount’s new antitrust hire keeps Warner deal risk in focus

New York, Feb 14, 2026, 10:39 EST — The market has closed. Netflix stock finished higher Friday, but as the holiday weekend looms, deal chatter is heating up again.

The addition comes just as Paramount and Netflix are locking horns over Warner Bros Discovery.
