Time Out boosts profits as it pivots to capital-light markets and profitable media

The latest announcement is out from Time Out ( (GB:TMO) ).

Time Out Group reported modest first-half revenue growth, with sales up 2% to £39.8 million and group adjusted EBITDA rising 23% to £6.0 million, driven by tight cost control and a sharp turnaround in its Media division, which swung from loss to profit. An £8 million equity placing completed in early 2026 has strengthened liquidity to support efficiency initiatives and selective growth, even as the group still posted a small operating loss due to restructuring costs.

Operationally, the group is pivoting its Markets portfolio toward capital-light management agreements that generate higher-margin recurring income, opening new sites in Budapest and Manhattan while closing Chicago and licensing Boston to a real-estate developer to improve future cash flow. In Media, a strategy reset toward social and video content lifted monthly audience reach 33% to 244 million and returned the business to profitability, positioning Time Out for more sustainable growth despite reduced footfall in its GCC operations amid regional conflict.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:TMO) stock is a Sell with a £7.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Time Out stock, see the GB:TMO Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TMO Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TMO is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (sharp revenue decline, much larger losses, renewed cash burn, higher debt and negative equity). Technicals further pressure the rating, with price well below key moving averages and negative momentum indicators. Valuation offers limited offset because the negative P/E reflects unprofitable operations and dividend data is unavailable.
