ProSiebenSat.1 (ISIN DE000PSM7770) was trading at EUR 3.28 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 3:01 p.m. CEST, up 1.55 percent from the prior close of EUR 3.23. The main corporate signal is a management change: Reuters reported on September 16, 2026, that Ingrid Heisserer will join as chief financial officer on February 1, 2027.

Profit improves despite lower revenue

ProSiebenSat.1 reported second-quarter revenue of EUR 768.0 million, down 9 percent from the same period a year earlier, according to the Q2 2026 earnings call published by Yahoo Finance on August 6, 2026. The decline reflects portfolio disposals and weaker television advertising, but the comparison carries a clear profitability twist.

EBITDA improved by EUR 102.0 million in the second quarter and by EUR 152.0 million in the first half of 2026 versus the respective prior-year periods. Management attributed the change to cost discipline, lower programming expenses and a more focused portfolio, while first-half revenue fell 9 percent year on year.

Digital growth offsets part of decline

The earnings call showed a sharper split inside the group. Digital and smart revenue increased 6 percent in the first half, while Joyn revenue grew 7 percent, giving the streaming business a measurable counterweight to traditional advertising pressure.

The company also reported leverage of 3.2 times EBITDA at the end of June 2026, inside its stated 3.0 to 3.5 times target range for the end of the year. That combination of higher EBITDA and controlled leverage is the central operating argument behind the stock's September move.

Next report is due November 12

EQS News said on September 21, 2026, that ProSiebenSat.1 will publish its next quarterly or interim statement on November 12, 2026. The date gives investors the next formal checkpoint for advertising trends, streaming growth and the cost program.
