An announcement from Seven West Media Limited ( (AU:SWM) ) is now available.

Seven West Media has secured court approval for its acquisition by Southern Cross Media Group via a scheme of arrangement, clearing a major regulatory hurdle in a deal that will see Seven West shareholders receive 0.1552 Southern Cross shares for each share they hold. The scheme is expected to become effective once court orders are lodged with ASIC, triggering suspension of Seven West Media’s ASX quotation from 24 December 2025 and leading to implementation on 7 January 2026, after which new Southern Cross shares will begin trading—marking a significant consolidation in the Australian media landscape and reshaping the ownership structure for existing Seven West investors.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SWM) stock is a Hold with a A$0.13 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Seven West Media Limited stock, see the AU:SWM Stock Forecast page.
