▲(8.36% Upside)
Canal+'s overall score is driven by strong technical indicators and positive corporate events, particularly strategic acquisitions and capital management. However, financial performance is hindered by profitability issues and a negative P/E ratio, impacting the valuation score.
Positive Factors
Recurring subscription revenue
A subscription-first model creates durable recurring revenue, smoothing cash flow and supporting long-term planning. High retention potential across pay-TV, streaming and bundles gives pricing power and predictable customer LTV, underpinning investment in content and platform improvements.
Owned content library (Studiocanal)
Owning production and distribution via Studiocanal provides a multi-window monetization engine: theatrical, licensing, streaming and catalog sales. This creates long-tail revenue, reduces third-party content reliance, and supports margin resilience through recurring licensing and catalog exploitation.
Improving leverage and capital actions
A much lower debt-to-equity ratio and active capital moves (buybacks, bond issuance noted in corporate events) strengthen financial flexibility. Reduced leverage lowers interest burden and enables strategic spends—content rights, distribution expansion and M&A—without immediate solvency pressure.
Negative Factors
Persistent net losses and margin decline
Repeated net losses and falling operating margins undermine sustainable profitability. Margin erosion limits internal funding for content and distribution, forces reliance on external financing, and raises structural questions about cost efficiency and pricing power across core markets.
Negative return on equity
Negative ROE signals the company is not generating shareholder returns from deployed capital, making equity-funded growth unattractive. Over time this hampers the ability to raise equity, weakens investor confidence, and constrains strategic reinvestment into content and platform improvements.
Weakening free cash flow growth
Declining free cash flow growth reduces the firm's capacity to self-fund high-cost items like sports rights and original production. Persistent FCF deterioration increases dependence on debt or capital markets, raising financing risk and potentially slowing strategic initiatives and content investments.

Canal+ Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Canal+ shows solid revenue growth but struggles with profitability, reporting net losses and declining EBIT and EBITDA margins. The balance sheet is improving with reduced leverage, but cash flow challenges remain.
Income Statement
65
Positive
Canal+ has shown consistent revenue growth with a 3.63% increase in 2024. However, profitability remains a concern with declining EBIT and EBITDA margins, and the company reported a net loss in the last two years. The gross profit margin is relatively stable at around 40%. Despite revenue growth, the declining profitability metrics hint at potential operational inefficiencies.
Balance Sheet
58
Neutral
The company has improved its equity position, with the debt-to-equity ratio significantly decreasing to 0.20 in 2024. However, the return on equity is negative due to net losses, which is a major downside. The equity ratio is also relatively low, indicating a moderate reliance on liabilities.
Cash Flow
60
Neutral
Operating cash flow remains strong with a satisfactory operating cash flow to net income ratio, although the free cash flow has decreased. The company displays a positive free cash flow, but the growth rate has been negative. Canal+ needs to focus on improving its free cash flow generation to better support its financial health.

Positive
Jan 29, 2026

Canal+ has outlined the financial and strategic impact of its acquisition of MultiChoice Group, projecting more than €400 million in EBITA and over €300 million in free cash flow in annual run-rate cost synergies from 2030, with meaningful savings already ramping up from 2026. Management describes the deal as transformational, cementing Canal+ as a media leader in roughly 40 countries and positioning the enlarged group to exploit fast-growing African pay-TV and streaming markets through a unified management team, an expanded content portfolio, a widely deployed Canal+ app, and an extensive distribution network. By leveraging its greater global scale, the company plans to rationalise content spending, renegotiate technology and hardware costs, streamline infrastructure, and centralise key functions, while implementation costs remain modest relative to the anticipated savings, suggesting a potentially material uplift to profitability and cash generation for investors and other stakeholders.
