KUBRA Data Transfer

Hello wikipedia editors, I just wanted to post that my coworkers and I noticed this page did not include our company, which was 80% purchased in 2014. We believe part of the purchase involved a potential buy of the other 20% by Hearst around 2020/2021, but we don't have any info or details on if/when that may occur. Hopefully the sources I cited are sufficient. --Rack88 (talk) 23:59, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Needs an as-of date. Rich Farmbrough, 09:39 21 July 2007 (GMT). Lists CNN as owned by Hearst, rather than Time Warner.67.93.47.66 (talk) 21:23, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fitch Group ownership is outdated

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Fitch Ratings, a subsidiary of Fitch Group, was fully acquired by Hearst in 2018. The entry currently lists "Fitch Ratings" with 20% ownership from FIMALAC. This is inaccurate and outdated information.

Recommended Change is to change "Fitch Ratings" to "Fitch Group" and remove "(80%) - FIMALAC (20%)"

On the Fitch Ratings page, the summary states: "Hearst owns 100 percent of the company following its acquisition of an additional 20 percent for $2.8 billion on April 12, 2018. Hearst had owned 80 percent of the company after increasing its ownership stake by 30 percent on December 12, 2014, in a transaction valued at $1.965 billion. Hearst's previous equity interest was 80 percent following expansions on an original acquisition of 20 percent interest in 2006.

Hearst had jointly owned Fitch with FIMALAC SA, which held 20 percent of the company until the 2018 transaction. Fitch Ratings and Fitch Solutions are part of the Fitch Group." JerCam26 (talk) 21:48, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move Fitch Group from "Business Media" to "Other"

The user below has a request that an edit be made to List of assets owned by Hearst Communications. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very low. There are currently 32 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

Recommended Change of "Fitch Group" from "Business Media" to "Other" category.

Fitch Group is a financial services company that encompasses a credit rating agency, solutions provider, research arm and investment vehicle. As such, the company should not be considered business media. The Hearst Wikipedia page also lists Fitch in the "Other" category. JerCam26 (talk) 17:33, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
