The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) added more digital subscribers in the first quarter than Wall Street had expected and forecast robust subscription revenue ahead, boosted by its bundled offerings and a busy news cycle driving more readers to the publisher.

The NYT is benefiting from bundling its core news offerings with lifestyle-focused products such as Wirecutter, sports website The Athletic and games including Wordle.

More readers have turned to publishers such as The Times for comprehensive news coverage amid a deepening trade war between the U.S. and China and growing economic uncertainty.

“We’ve had a strong start to the year. Our strategy is working and our business is growing and demonstrating resilience amidst the current economic and geopolitical uncertainty,” CEO Meredith (NYSE:MDP) Kopit Levien said in a statement on Wednesday.

The news publisher won four Pulitzer Prizes earlier this week, including the one in collaboration with the nonprofit Baltimore Banner (NASDAQ:BANR).

The company expects subscription revenue growth of 8% to 10% in the second quarter, compared with analysts’ average estimate of an 8.2% rise, according to data compiled by LSEG.

It also forecast quarterly digital-only subscription revenue growth of 13% to 16%, above Visible Alpha estimates of 13.9%.

For the first quarter ended March 31, the company added about 250,000 digital-only subscribers, compared with Visible Alpha estimates of 248,000.

Its revenue rose 7.1% to $635.9 million, beating LSEG-compiled estimates of $634.8 million, while adjusted profit of 41 cents per share also exceeded estimates of 34 cents.
