An update from Canal+ ( (GB:CAN) ) is now available.

Canal+ reported a strong and transformational 2025, its first full year as an independent listed company, achieving or exceeding guidance on revenue, profitability, and cash flow while improving its European margins and resolving major tax disputes in France. The group completed the acquisition of MultiChoice, began divesting non-core and unprofitable assets including Vietnam, secured key sports rights such as UEFA Champions League in France, expanded partnerships with Netflix and TV manufacturers, and strengthened its cinema and production presence through stakes in UGC and Lucky Red.

With the addition of MultiChoice, Canal+ now reaches more than 42 million subscribers and over €8.6 billion in combined revenue, creating a scaled media platform despite MultiChoice’s recent operational challenges and declining revenue. Management is targeting further profitability gains through €400 million in run-rate synergies by 2030, continued cost discipline, AI-driven efficiency via partnerships with Google Cloud and OpenAI, a new content partnership with Sky for English-language drama, and plans to list on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, underscoring its strategic pivot toward African growth and reinforcing its position as a major international pay-TV and streaming player.
