The outdoor advertising giant posted revenue of $595.93 million, a 2.8% year-over-year increase that nudged past the $592.70 million consensus estimate by 0.55%, but earnings per share of $1.50 trailed the $1.57 analyst forecast by 4.42%. The quarter's results reflected steady organic momentum against a difficult comparison, as Q4 2024 had benefited from elevated political advertising spend. Adjusted EBITDA grew 3.7% to $288.87 million, offering a cleaner read on underlying performance, while free cash flow dipped 4.3% to $187.14 million as the company stepped up capital expenditures, particularly for digital billboard conversions, with digital spend rising to $27.45 million from $21.39 million a year earlier. Shares have recently touched a new 52-week high, reflecting broader investor confidence, and management backed that sentiment with FY2026 guidance for diluted AFFO per share of $8.50 to $8.70, citing continued strength in both local and national advertising pacings.
Key Takeaways
- • Growth in both local and national advertising in Q4 despite tough political comp from Q4 2024
- • Adjusted EBITDA increased 3.7% in Q4 2025
- • Acquisition-adjusted net revenue grew 2.2% in Q4 2025
- • Digital billboard capital expenditures increased to $27.5 million in Q4 from $21.4 million in Q4 2024
- • Full-year net income benefited from $68.6 million gain on sale of equity interest in Vistar Media

Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024, source: SEC Filings
“We ended 2025 with encouraging sales momentum, with growth in both local and national in the fourth quarter, even with a tough political comp. That strength continued into 2026, and pacings for the balance of the year remain promising. For the full-year, we anticipate diluted AFFO per share to be between $8.50 and $8.70.”
