Description: DEC JC Decaux
JCDecaux SE (ticker DEC) is the world’s leading outdoor-advertising operator, organized into three business lines: Street Furniture (shopping-mall ads, public-domain kiosks, bike-share stations and related services), Transport (advertising in airports, metros, buses, trams and trains) and Billboard (large-format, neon and wall-wrap billboards on private property). Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, the company is a subsidiary of JCDecaux Holding SAS and trades on Euronext Paris.
In FY 2024 the group generated €2.73 billion of revenue, up 5 % year-over-year, with an EBITDA margin of 31 %, reflecting strong demand for digital street-furniture screens and the rollout of EV-charging stations that grew 20 % YoY. The Street Furniture segment remains the engine of growth, contributing roughly 55 % of total revenue, while the Transport segment delivered a 30 % share and the Billboard segment 15 %.
Key macro drivers include Europe’s Green Deal, which is accelerating municipalities’ shift toward sustainable, data-rich street-furniture, and the broader digital-out-of-home (DOOH) trend that is pulling advertising spend away from traditional media toward programmatic, real-time formats. For a deeper dive, you might explore the company’s valuation on ValueRay.
