Vivendi stock reflects a reshaped French media and entertainment group after the completion of the Canal Plus spin-off, with investors now assessing earnings from the remaining businesses and the latest guidance for 2025 as outlined in recent company disclosures for 2024.
Revenue trends after Canal Plus separation
According to Vivendi's published figures for full-year 2024, the group reported revenue from its continuing operations in the mid single-digit billion euro range, with the profile now driven mainly by communications, advertising, publishing, and entertainment services following the separation of Canal Plus.
In those 2024 results, Vivendi highlighted that revenue from continuing operations grew modestly compared with 2023, with organic growth supported by segments such as Havas advertising services and the publishing activities that remain within the group.
Profitability and comparison with prior year
Vivendi's 2024 earnings communication also pointed to an improvement in key profitability measures versus 2023 on a like-for-like basis, reflecting cost controls and the removal of Canal Plus from consolidated accounts, though the company noted that comparisons are affected by the spin-off and other portfolio changes.
Management set out guidance for 2025 indicating that, under the new perimeter, the group aims to grow revenue and operating profit further compared with 2024, with the communications and publishing segments expected to provide the bulk of incremental contribution.

Havas and publishing underpin operations
Within Vivendi's continuing operations, the Havas communications and advertising network is a core earnings driver, contributing a significant share of group revenue in 2024 through global media buying, creative, and consulting activities for corporate clients.
The group also benefits from its publishing activities, which generated meaningful revenue in 2024 and provide a recurring earnings base that is less volatile than pure advertising, supporting the stability of Vivendi stock for investors focused on media and content exposure.
