Outfront Media

At the Citi Global TMT Conference, Outfront Media reported revenue and AFFO growth well above expectations, driven by stronger pricing and high demand in out-of-home advertising. The company is increasing investment in digital, programmatic and experiential advertising as well as in staff and technology, which is causing higher near-term spending. The balance sheet was strengthened by the sale of the Canadian business and refinancings, leaving no debt maturities until 2029 and creating room for larger acquisitions (estimated M&A capacity $200–300 million/year). Digital revenue currently makes up 30–35% of total revenue with a long-term target of 50%; programmatic sales and sports/transit partnerships are expected to provide further growth. » Plus sur de.investing.com
