Market cap $905M

Daily Journal's rating upgrade reflects strong software momentum, rising earnings and strategic use of investment gains.

DJCO's fiscal 2025 earnings per share surge 44% year over year, driven by strong performance in Journal Technologies and soaring e-filing revenues, offsetting continued challenges in its print publishing business.

Daily Journal Corporation is downgraded to Hold after doubling since the prior Buy rating, with valuation now stretched. DJCO's Journal Technologies segment drives 80% of revenue, showing robust growth from increased adoption and expanded services. The company's large marketable securities portfolio, built under Charlie Munger, has driven recent outsized profitability but introduces market risk.
