11 Communication Services Stocks Moving In Friday's Pre-Market Session

Scholastic Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHL#NASDAQ">SCHL</a>) stock is trading lower on Friday after the company reported worse-than-expected 2025 fiscal-year second-quarter earnings on Thursday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42605651">after the bell</a>.
The Details: Scholastic reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.82, missing analysts estimate of $2.30. In addition, the company reported sales of $554.60 million, missing analysts&#8217; estimates of $553.97 million and representing a 3% year-over-year decrease.
The company said the decrease in revenue reflects timing factors in the Children&#8217;s Book Publishing and Distribution segment, and lower sales in Education Solutions but was partially offset by the contribution of 9 Story Media Group in the Entertainment segment.
The company reported other key pieces of financial data, including adjusted EBITDA of $108.7 million. Scholastic also reported operating income of $74.7 million, a 26% decrease compared to the same period last year.
Throughout the quarter, the company repurchased 185,378 shares of its common stock for $5.0 million. Additionally, the company reaffirmed its guidance for the 2025 fiscal year.
Peter Warwick, President and CEO, said, &#8220;Scholastic&#8217;s trusted brand, bestselling IP, global scale and differentiated business models offer multiple opportunities to drive long-term profitable growth in our core markets while expanding beyond with new models, channels and products. With a strong balance sheet, including a recently upsized,&nbsp;$400 million&nbsp;revolving credit facility, and a history of robust free cash conversion, we remain committed to continuing to invest in these growth opportunities, while returning excess cash to shareholders.&#8221;

This decision follows objections from digital advertising companies and regulators to Google&#8217;s proposed alternative technologies.
Ad-tech players protested, accusing Google of attempting to strengthen its monopoly in the space and making it more difficult for advertisers to track their ads&#8217; performance.
Instead of eliminating cookies, Google will now prompt Chrome users to decide whether to enable or disable cookies.
This move will keep the internet free and support advertisers relying on cookies to track user data. Websites will continue to display consent boxes for cookies, maintaining the current user experience, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/23/what-google-decision-to-keep-cookies-means-for-the-internet.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Google aims to address industry concerns and maintain advertising effectiveness by keeping cookies. However, regulators like the U.K.&#8217;s Information Commissioner&#8217;s Office expressed disappointment, emphasizing the need for better online privacy protections.
Google&#8217;s decision means that advertisers can continue using valuable data for targeted ads while users have more control over their cookie preferences. Despite this change, the push for greater online privacy remains strong.
Nearly 40.9% of websites worldwide use cookies to collect user data, CNBC cites W3Techs web technology research firm.
