JCDecaux Announces Moderate Growth in the First Quarter of 2026

JCDecaux SE, the world leader in outdoor advertising, reported a 2.6% increase in revenue for the first quarter of 2026, reaching €880.6 million, despite disruptions in the Middle East. Organic growth reached 5.7%, driven by a significant 6.6% increase in advertising revenue.

Among the new contracts, JCDecaux secured the operation of advertising spaces for Luxembourg Railways and obtained concessions in Denver and Rostock, strengthening its global presence. In Asia-Pacific, its contract for the Yarra Trams network in Melbourne was renewed for a period of up to 14 years.

Organic growth by sector shows an increase of 6.8% for Street Furniture and 7.5% for Transport. In contrast, Outdoor Advertising saw a decline of 2.9%. For the second quarter, JCDecaux forecasts organic growth of around 3%, hoping to benefit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
