STV Group - Strong H1 growth, solid outlook, new CEO

A strong  first  half,  helped  by  the  continuing  expansion  of  the  Studios business (even in a tough commissioning climate) and improved advertising aided by Euro 2024. Recent acquisitions in Studios are contributing well and the  group  reiterates  its  stretching  FY26  financial  targets.  STV  looks  well positioned  for  the  incoming  CEO  to  continue  its  strategic  transformation from broadcaster towards streaming and content.
