Stock Track | Lamar Advertising Plummets 5% as Q3 Earnings Miss Estimates

Stock Track11-08

Lamar Advertising Company (NASDAQ: LAMR), a leading outdoor advertising firm, saw its stock price plummet by 5.02% on Thursday after reporting mixed third-quarter results that failed to meet analysts' expectations.

The company reported earnings per share of $1.44, beating the consensus estimate of $0.63. However, revenue for the quarter came in at $564.1 million, missing the estimated $593.8 million. The revenue miss was primarily attributed to a slower-than-expected recovery in the advertising market, which impacted the company's local and programmatic sales.

Despite the top-line miss, Lamar's adjusted EBITDA for the quarter grew 2.1% year-over-year to $271.2 million, driven by cost-saving measures and operational efficiencies. The company's free cash flow also increased by 9.4% to $198.1 million, reflecting its ability to generate strong cash flows even in a challenging environment.
