Future cuts full-year forecast after Google traffic shift

Future announces a reduction of its full-year forecast by 15–20% and now expects an EBITDA margin of 25–27% for 2026 instead of the previously forecast 30%. An EBITDA margin of 24–25% is forecast for the first half of the year. The reason is a larger-than-expected shift of traffic generated via Google, which is weighing on margin-rich revenue sources such as programmatic advertising and e-commerce. Direct advertising revenue is expected to grow, but the company anticipates an organic revenue decline in the low single-digit percentage range for the second half of the year. » More on de.investing.com
