At Lang & Schwarz, RTL Group (ISIN LU0061462528) was trading at EUR 29.98 on October 15, 2026, at 10:13 a.m. CEST, up 1.11 percent versus the Xetra close of October 14, 2026. The latest reported figures point to streaming as the main operating driver.

Half-year figures show stronger earnings

RTL Group's revenue grew 3.90 percent to EUR 2.9 billion in the first half of 2026, while adjusted EBITA rose from EUR 160 million to EUR 239 million. According to the Yahoo Finance transcript published on August 11, 2026, the adjusted EBITA margin increased from 5.80 percent to 8.30 percent in the same period.

The comparison is important because the first-half figures included Sky Deutschland for one month after the transaction closed on June 1, 2026. RTL Group said the acquisition contributed EUR 61 million to adjusted EBITA in June, while the group continued to face pressure in linear television advertising.

What does streaming mean for RTL?

Streaming revenue grew 27.00 percent in the first half of 2026, and RTL Group said streaming profitability improved by EUR 65 million year over year. The company expects streaming adjusted EBITA of EUR 100 million for the full year 2026, compared with a previous guidance range of EUR 25 million to EUR 50 million, according to Yahoo Finance. The wider group confirmed adjusted EBITA guidance of EUR 725 million for 2026 and a medium-term target of EUR 1 billion.

The Sky integration adds a second financial lever. RTL Group confirmed annual synergies of EUR 250 million over three years, with most benefits expected in 2027 and 2028. For investors, the key test is whether streaming growth can offset weaker linear television revenue while the acquisition is integrated.
