LAMR acquires Verde assets, adding 1,500 billboard faces, including 80 digital displays and boosting presence in 10 U.S. states.

BATON ROUGE, La., July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lamar Advertising Company (Nasdaq: LAMR) (“Lamar” or the “Company”), a leading owner and operator of outdoor advertising assets, announced today that it has acquired the assets of Verde Outdoor in the first-ever UPREIT transaction in the billboard industry.

LAMR surges 18.4% in three months, fueled by digital growth, acquisitions and steady dividend hikes.

LAMR boosts growth with digital billboards and steady local sales, but high debt and national ad weakness remain risks.

Share buyback activity by US equity real estate investment trusts more than doubled in the first quarter, according to an analysis by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The US REIT sector bought back around $993.2 million in common stock in the period, more than twice as much as the $456.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and up 15.5% year over year. More than a dozen REITs announced new share repurchase programs during the first quarter.

LAMR's 2025 AFFO/share growth guidance of 4% is intact despite macro headwinds, with management reaffirming confidence and strong contract bookings. Recent stock price weakness presents a buying opportunity, as underlying growth is likely closer to 6%+ once tough comps normalize. Billboards enjoy limited new supply and are gaining local ad market share, creating a durable moat and supporting long-term organic growth.

I value businesses that thrive on simplicity, where even mediocre leadership can't break them. Complexity often leads to failure, not wealth. There's real, lasting wealth in boring, stable businesses. From school carpet tools to regional billboards, simplicity can be wildly profitable. That's why I focus on dividend-paying companies with simple models, steady growth, and strong balance sheets, designed to build wealth, not stress.
