Description: DEC JC Decaux November 08, 2025

JC Decaux SE (ticker DEC) is the world’s largest outdoor-advertising group, organized into three core segments: Street Furniture (bus shelters, kiosks, public-service equipment, and mall advertising), Transport (ads in airports, metros, buses, trams and trains), and Billboard (large-format, neon and wall-wrap billboards on private property). The firm was founded in 1964, is headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, and operates as a subsidiary of JC Decaux Holding SAS.

Key operating metrics (2023) show €2.5 billion in revenue, an EBITDA margin of roughly 30 %, and a portfolio of over 1.2 million street-furniture units under long-term (10-15 year) contracts. Growth is driven by urbanisation trends, the shift toward digital out-of-home (DOOH) formats, and rising tourism traffic that fuels transport-segment demand, while regulatory exposure in core European markets remains a material risk.
