LAMR Stock Recent News

Lamar Advertising Company shares have dipped due to disappointing guidance, but the pullback presents a buying opportunity given the company's strong fundamentals and attractive valuation. Despite a penny loss in Q4, Lamar's core business remains solid with a 4% revenue increase and robust EBITDA margins, driven by local advertising. The company's focus on digital billboard upgrades and potential M&A, supported by a strong balance sheet, positions it for future growth beyond the current 3-4% range.

Lamar Advertising is a unique REIT focused on outdoor advertising, a resilient and growing segment that's unaffected by cord-cutting issues plaguing traditional media. LAMR's strong financial performance in 2024, driven by local and programmatic ad growth, and a robust digital expansion strategy, positions it for continued AFFO growth. With a 4.6% dividend yield, a 76% payout ratio, and a reasonable valuation, LAMR presents a compelling opportunity for income and growth-focused investors.

LAMR's Q4 results reflect growth in revenues. However, higher expenses marred the performance to some extent.
