BATON ROUGE, La., Aug. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lamar Advertising Company (Nasdaq: LAMR) (the “Company”), a leading owner and operator of outdoor advertising and logo sign displays, announces that its board of directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.55 per share payable on September 30, 2025 to stockholders of record of Lamar's Class A common stock and Class B common stock on September 19, 2025.

LAMR expands with acquisitions, digital billboards and steady local sales, but debt, competition and ad-market caution weigh on its performance.

Key Points in This Article: Buffett's Q1 13-F filing revealed $3.9 billion in stock purchases, including six new positions, but he remains a net seller of stocks by shedding $7 billion in Apple and Bank of America holdings.

Lamar Advertising Company LAMR reported mixed second-quarter results on Friday.

A surprising solid REIT earnings season wrapped up this week. Of the 100 equity REITs that provide full-year FFO guidance, 62% raised their outlook - above the historical 55% average. Disinflation was a surprisingly common thread across second-quarter results, with the majority of the upside revisions being driven by improved expense expectations - the highest quantity of expense reductions ever. Healthcare REITs were notable upside standouts as senior housing fundamentals remained stellar, while skilled nursing REITs received some good news on the policy front via healthy CMS Medicare rate increases.

Lamar Advertising Company remains resilient in a tough ad market, with local/regional strength offsetting national weakness and a secure 5% dividend yield. Digital billboard conversion is in its early stages but offers a long-term growth catalyst, with digital units generating 5x revenue versus static boards. Balance sheet strength enables continued M&A, as seen with the Verde Outdoor acquisition, while leverage remains well below target levels.

LAMR's Q2 results reflect growth in revenues. However, a higher component of expenses marred the performance to some extent.
