Description: LAMR Lamar Advertising January 04, 2026
Lamar Advertising (NASDAQ:LAMR) is a century-old out-of-home (OOH) specialist that operates over 362,000 billboards, transit panels, and airport displays across the United States and Canada. Its portfolio includes the nation’s largest digital billboard network-more than 5,400 electronic screens-allowing advertisers to combine static and programmatic formats for local and national campaigns.
Recent filings show FY 2023 revenue of roughly $1.8 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $450 million, supporting a dividend yield near 5.5 % and a payout ratio of about 70 %. Digital inventory now accounts for roughly 15 % of total impressions, a share that has been growing at 12-15 % YoY as advertisers shift spend toward measurable, real-time OOH. Key economic drivers include overall advertising spend trends (which are sensitive to consumer confidence and CPI), and REIT-specific factors such as interest-rate risk and lease-term structures that affect net operating income stability.
