Frankfurt quote and next context

The listing transition leaves the company in a different market position from Lamar Advertising and Outfront Media, which continued to show active US market quotes on October 20, 2026. The latest reported operating figures still combine stronger revenue with a quarterly loss, while the analyst target remains below the October 14 NYSE price.
