STV Group plc ( (GB:STVG) ) has issued an update.
STV Group expects full-year 2025 revenue to come in towards the top of its £165m-£180m guidance range, with adjusted operating profit in line with market expectations at £11.4m, despite a roughly 10% decline in total advertising revenue for both the fourth quarter and the full year due to a tough macroeconomic environment. The company is tightening costs, with measures announced in September set to deliver £2.5m of savings in 2026 on top of a previously targeted £5m run-rate, while year-end net debt is forecast towards the lower end of the £45m-£50m range; its studios arm ended 2025 with a £33m order book amid subdued commissioning activity, and the newly launched STV Radio has received an encouraging early response as STV positions itself for a challenging advertising market and explores strategic options in a rapidly changing media landscape.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:STVG) stock is a Hold with a £121.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on STV Group plc stock, see the GB:STVG Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GB:STVG Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:STVG is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by financial risk from persistent negative equity and rising debt despite the 2024 earnings recovery and positive cash flow. Valuation is a clear positive (low P/E and high dividend yield), while technicals are broadly neutral with mixed moving-average signals. Corporate updates are modestly supportive but secondary.
