Catena Media ( (SE:CTM) ) has shared an update.

Catena Media reported its strongest quarter since its mid-2024 restructuring, with Q4 revenue from continuing operations jumping 53 percent to EUR 15.6 million and adjusted EBITDA more than tripling, driven by a sharp rebound in North America and strict cost discipline. Casino, including regulated and social sweepstakes offerings, led growth supported by favourable search algorithm changes, while sports betting remained under pressure and contributed little to momentum.

The group accelerated diversification via its MRKTPLAYS subaffiliation platform, a fast-growing CRM vertical and the launch of the PlayPerks loyalty programme, initiatives aimed at deepening user engagement and broadening revenue streams beyond core search traffic. Despite a full-year revenue decline and earlier impairments on North American sports and Asia-Pacific casino assets, rising margins, stronger cash flow and tighter focus on high-potential verticals signal a more resilient, profit-oriented business model for 2026 and beyond.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:CTM) stock is a Sell with a SEK1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Catena Media stock, see the SE:CTM Stock Forecast page.
