Newsmax Inc. (NYSE: NMAX) announced that it has surpassed 25 million followers across its social media platforms, reaching 25.4 million total followers as the company continues expanding its digital audience. The milestone comes alongside record audience metrics, including 104.18 million Facebook user reach in the first quarter of 2026, up 44% sequentially and 119% year over year, while the Newsmax App has exceeded 13 million downloads as the company broadens its multi-platform media presence.
The social media growth underscores Newsmax's expanding digital footprint, which now reaches more than 40 million Americans regularly through its TV channel, the Newsmax App, its website Newsmax.com, and publications such as Newsmax Magazine. The company's social media accounts alone reach 20 million combined followers, according to the release. Reuters Institute lists Newsmax as one of the top U.S. news brands, and Forbes has called the outlet “a news powerhouse.”
Newsmax, listed on the NYSE under ticker NMAX, operates through Newsmax Broadcasting LLC and is the fourth highest-rated cable news network, carried on all major cable systems and a major satellite provider. The company's digital growth comes as traditional media companies increasingly compete for audience attention across multiple platforms.
The 119% year-over-year increase in Facebook reach and 25.4 million total social media followers signal strong engagement with Newsmax's content. The Newsmax App, which has surpassed 13 million downloads, provides another direct channel for viewers to access news and programming. These metrics are particularly notable as the company continues to invest in its digital infrastructure and content distribution.
The announcement was made through a press release distributed by NetworkNewsWire, a specialized communications platform focused on financial news and content distribution. NetworkNewsWire is part of the Dynamic Brand Portfolio within IBN, which provides access to a network of wire solutions, article syndication to over 5,000 outlets, and social media distribution to millions of followers.
