Bulls say / Bears say
The sale of ITV’s Media & Entertainment division to Sky for up to £1.6 billion will yield a net cash return of about £950 million to shareholders, enabling a £100 million share buyback and bolstering ITV’s balance sheet. (Reuters)
ITVX delivered double-digit growth in both viewing and digital advertising revenues in H1 2026, while Total Advertising Revenue grew strongly into July, demonstrating robust momentum in its digital segment. (Reuters)
ITV Studios has high visibility over a strong second-half production slate, including Netflix commissions ‘The Gentlemen’ and ‘The Woods’, underpinning expectations for above-market revenue growth and margin delivery. (Reuters)
The M&E sale to Sky must clear UK regulatory hurdles, including a likely CMA phase two review and a forthcoming Public Interest Intervention Notice, pushing completion into H2 2027 and adding execution risk. (Reuters)
ITV forecasts a circa 5 percent year-on-year drop in Q3 advertising revenue as the World Cup timing effect fades, underscoring sensitivity to macroeconomic headwinds in its core ad market. (Reuters)
ITV Studios' adjusted EBITA profit fell 9 percent in H1 2026, partly due to the phasing of high-margin productions and scheduling changes to long-running soaps, reflecting margin pressure in its content business. (Reuters)
