An announcement from Time Out ( (GB:TMO) ) is now available.

Time Out Group has completed an accelerated bookbuild to raise approximately £8 million through the placing of 100 million new shares at 8p each, split between a £2.9 million firm placing with Oakley Capital Investments and a £5.1 million conditional placing with institutional investors, alongside a UK retail offer at the same price. The fundraising, together with a £4.9 million debt-for-equity conversion with Oakley Capital Limited, will significantly reshape the share register: the Oakley concert party is expected to move to just over 50% of the enlarged capital (subject to retail take-up), while Lombard Odier will hold about 25.8%, reinforcing the backing of key shareholders. CEO Chris Ohlund and CFO Matt Pritchard are subscribing for shares in the conditional placing, a related-party transaction which the independent director has deemed fair and reasonable, and the new shares will be admitted to trading on AIM in two stages pending shareholder approval at a general meeting in early January 2026, where authorities to issue shares and disapply pre‑emption rights will be sought.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:TMO) stock is a Hold with a £19.00 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 GB:TMO Stock

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

The overall stock score is driven by mixed financial performance and bearish technical indicators. However, the strategic expansion into India provides a positive outlook for future growth. The negative P/E ratio and lack of dividend yield weigh on the valuation.
