What this transaction means for investors
Stagwell has had a volatile ride this year, surging close to 50% in the first few weeks of the year before crashing through late February and recouping gains thereafter. Against that backdrop, this sale looks more like opportunistic trimming than a change in conviction, especially given how small the position now is at just 0.25% of AUM.
What matters more is that the underlying business is quietly improving. Full-year 2025 revenue reached $2.91 billion, up 2%, while net revenue rose 6% and 9% excluding advocacy. It’s also important to note that growth is increasingly coming from higher-value areas. Digital transformation net revenue climbed 13%, and the Marketing Cloud segment exploded 230%, underscoring management’s push into AI-driven services.
Profitability trends are also moving in the right direction. Adjusted EBITDA hit $422 million, and free cash flow more than doubled to $187 million, giving the company more flexibility on capital allocation, including buybacks. Looking ahead, management is guiding for 8% to 12% net revenue growth and up to $525 million in EBITDA in 2026. How management performs against those expectations will be crucial for the stock going forward.
