Tim Robberts/DigitalVision via Getty Images WildBrain Quarterly Update WildBrain ( WILD:CA ) ( WLDBF ) reported third-quarter earnings on Wednesday, May 13th. Since the Peanuts sale closed on March 2nd, there has been a lot of noise in the numbers, particularly between continuing and discontinued operations. Fortunately, there are only a couple of numbers that really matter here, and they're all good. I have some updated thoughts since my last article on the company. However, I continue to believe this stock can double or triple over the next year or two. Segment Review The company has not completed the resegmenting of the business post the Peanuts sale. That will be finished when they report fiscal year '26 Q4 numbers in August/September. However, the current segments are sufficient to point the direction of the higher multiple licensing businesses (Strawberry Shortcake and other characters plus the Consumer Product Licensing Group) versus the more volatile and lower multiple studio business. Licensing revenue grew 35% to $25.1 million versus $18.7 million in Q3 '25. The last data point we have on Strawberry Shortcake was 115% retail revenue growth in Q1 '26. I have heard no indication Strawberry is weakening, so it almost certainly contributed a lot to licensing strength this quarter. Licensing strength contrasts with Content Creation and Audience Engagement revenue decreasing 33% to $36.1 million compared to $54.2 million last year. The company attributed the decline to "the timing of live-action production revenue, as well as lower Audience Engagement revenue in the quarter." On the call, the company called out several production projects the studio had booked in last year's Q3 and Q4 that either did not repeat this year or were pushed into '27. However, the company specifically said on the call: the pipeline is filling out in a really positive way for fiscal year '27. And to be specific, there was a project last year that was live action, it was Finding Her Edg...
