Vivendi Stock News

Advertising firm Havas, set to be spun-off from French media conglomerate Vivendi in December, said on Tuesday it aimed to raise its adjusted operating profit margin to between 14% and 15% by 2028, compared to 12.1% last year.

French broadcaster Canal+ highlighted its intention to become a global-content platform, seeing Asia and Africa as high-growth markets during its Capital Markets Day on Monday, ahead of its prospective listing on the London Stock Exchange.

Vivendi SE reported Q2 earnings with sales increasing by almost 93% due to the acquisition of Lagardère. Company's gross margins and bottom line improved, but EBIT margin faltered, likely due to Lagardère acquisition. Proposed split into three entities (Canal+, Havas, Louis Hachette) may improve focus and performance, with Lagardère showing potential for growth.

Vivendi on Monday said it is considering listing its Canal+ film and television subsidiary on the London Stock Exchange in what would be a major win for the U.K.'s troubled bourse.

Quintessential French television station Canal+ is plotting a share listing on the London Stock Exchange following a split up of parent company Vivendi. In December 2023, Vivendi initiated a feasibility study for an atomisation of its operations after struggling with a suppressed market valuation.

Vivendi will pursue a separate listing for its Canal+ pay TV unit in London while its Havas business will be listed in Amsterdam, it said on Monday as it announced details of wider plan to split up the group after a feasibility study.

Vivendi is exploring a spin-off and potential London listing for its Canal+ TV unit, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, sending the French media conglomerate's shares sharply higher in late afternoon trading.
