RTL Group (ISIN LU0061462528) confirmed a EUR 725 million adjusted profit target for 2026 on August 11, 2026, while its stock stood 20.77 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 39.00. The target and the first-half figures were presented in the Yahoo Finance transcript.

Streaming drives the profit shift

RTL Group's revenue rose 3.9 percent to EUR 2.9 billion in the first half of 2026, while adjusted EBITA increased from EUR 160 million to EUR 239 million. The corresponding margin moved from 5.8 percent to 8.3 percent, according to Yahoo Finance.

The company expects streaming to contribute EUR 100 million to adjusted EBITA in 2026. That target gives investors a clearer measure of the transformation than group revenue alone, because streaming profitability is rising while linear television advertising remains under pressure.

What does the acquisition add?

RTL Group closed the Sky Deutschland acquisition on June 1, 2026, and management is targeting EUR 250 million in annual synergies over three years. The first-half result included Sky Deutschland for one month, so the comparison also reflects a changed consolidation perimeter, as stated in the Yahoo Finance transcript.

On August 11, 2026, management reported first-half revenue of EUR 2.9 billion and adjusted EBITA of EUR 239 million. On October 13, 2026, Groupe M6's Téva channel marked its 30th anniversary, with streaming audiences doubled last season, according to MarketScreener.

Stock stays below its yearly high

The 52-week high of EUR 39.00 was reached on April 21, 2026, while the 52-week low was EUR 28.30 on October 8, 2026. The range places the current quote closer to the lower end, even as the operating figures show stronger streaming profitability.
