CuriosityStream Inc (NASDAQ:CURI) is a global streaming platform that specializes in factual entertainment, offering documentaries and series covering science, nature, history, technology, and more.

These agreements are expected to significantly boost revenue and align with analysts’ forecasts of 13% growth for the year.

Another major driver has been the company’s strategy to expand content and data licensing, especially for AI model training, which management indicated could generate licensing revenue exceeding half of its direct subscription revenue for the year.

CuriosityStream also reported strong Q4 2024 earnings, beating revenue expectations with $14.1 million and achieving record adjusted free cash flow of $3.3 million, alongside a gross margin improvement to 52% and ending the year with $39.7 million in cash and no debt.
