1.b. Last Insights on MMT

Métropole Télévision S.A.'s recent performance was negatively impacted by a decline in advertising revenue, as evident from its Q1 2025 earnings release. The company's advertising sales decreased, partly due to a challenging macroeconomic environment. Additionally, the absence of significant new product launches or strategic acquisitions in the quarter further contributed to the negative sentiment. The company's focus on ramping up investments in streaming, as mentioned in its 2024 results, may not have yet translated into significant short-term gains.
