LBG Media Plc ( (GB:LBG) ) just unveiled an announcement.

LBG Media reported full-year 2025 results broadly in line with market expectations, delivering 10% constant-currency revenue growth to £92.2m and a 3% rise in adjusted EBITDA to £25.2m, supported by robust cash generation and a net cash position of £30.8m with no debt. Growth was driven by a 13% increase in Direct revenues, notably strong gains in the U.S. (+29%) and UK (+11%), while Indirect revenues stabilised with a modest 1% rise as higher social-platform income offset weaker website revenue; the group is now accelerating investment in senior leadership, sales capability and emerging AI technologies to expand its higher-growth Direct business in the UK and U.S. Management expects Direct revenue to become the majority of group sales and to deliver low-to-mid-teens growth with mid-30% margins before central costs, aiming to make earnings more predictable and to enhance long-term profitability, while maintaining Indirect revenues as a high-margin, slower-growth engine that underpins scale and reach for advertisers.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LBG) stock is a Hold with a £90.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on LBG Media Plc stock, see the GB:LBG Stock Forecast page.
