MARKETWISE, INC. 8-K

What Happened

• MarketWise, Inc. (MKTW) filed a Form 8-K on January 22, 2026 (Item 2.02) to announce preliminary selected unaudited financial and operational updates for the fourth quarter of 2025. The company furnished a press release with those updates as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8-K. The report was signed by Erik Mickels, Chief Operating and Financial Officer.

Key Details

• Date of filing/announcement: January 22, 2026.
• Content: Preliminary, selected unaudited financial and operational results for Q4 2025 (details are in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1).
• Disclosure status: The information and Exhibit 99.1 are furnished (not “filed”) and therefore are not subject to Section 18 liability or automatically incorporated by reference in other Securities Act filings.
• Signed by: Erik Mickels, Chief Operating and Financial Officer.

Why It Matters

• The company is providing an early look at its quarterly results (earnings/quarterly results) before formal audited filings, which can give investors timely insight into recent performance.
• Because the figures are preliminary and unaudited, they may change when final results are released in subsequent filings; investors should treat these updates as indicative, not final.
• Furnished (not filed) status limits legal liability for the company and means investors should look to future filings and the press release itself for full details and any material changes.
