According to Yahoo Finance on August 11, 2026, the adjusted EBITA increase reflected the Sky Deutschland acquisition and stronger streaming performance.

Profit reaches EUR 61.00 million

Yahoo Finance reported that RTL Group's profit from continuing operations rose to EUR 61.00 million in the first half of 2026 from EUR 6.00 million in the first half of 2025. The 916.67 percent increase was mainly linked to the Sky Deutschland contribution, which RTL Group said was EUR 61.00 million for June, a seasonally favorable month.

Revenue grew 3.90 percent to EUR 2.90 billion in the first half of 2026, while adjusted EBITA margin increased from 5.80 percent to 8.30 percent. The comparison points to a sharper improvement in profitability than in sales, making streaming and the Sky integration central to the current earnings profile.

Stock remains below its yearly high

At EUR 29.53, RTL Group stock was EUR 9.47 below its 52-week high of EUR 39.00 and EUR 1.23 above its 52-week low of EUR 28.30 on October 13, 2026. The price therefore stood 24.28 percent below the high and 4.35 percent above the low, using the same euro quotation.

The latest quote implies a market capitalization of EUR 4.6 billion, a price-to-earnings ratio of 49.08 and a dividend yield of 0.19 percent. RTL Group's profile identifies its business as communication services and broadcasting, with television, radio, streaming, content production and advertising technology operations.
