1.b. Last Insights on ALMA

Alma Media Oyj faced challenges in its recent 3-month performance, primarily due to declines in print revenue and a sluggish Finnish advertising market. Despite achieving a historic operating profit, driven by robust digital growth, the company encountered obstacles. Its Q3 2025 earnings call highlighted these mixed results, with digital advancements not fully offsetting traditional revenue streams' weaknesses. No recent share buyback announcements were noted, and no rating changes were cited from major analysts during this period.
