Comscore's Q2 revenue dropped 11.3% to $79.2M, with a net loss of $14.8M. The company guided full-year 2026 revenue to $315-325M, implying a continued decline from 2025 levels. The balance sheet improved after repaying $40.1M in senior debt from the Movies divestiture, leaving $28.7M in cash. The new ROI operating model and $20-25M cost savings target are critical to stabilizing the business, but near-term growth is not expected.
