The company completed the acquisition of a 75% stake in event organizer Last Lap SL for €20 million in July 2025 and announced the purchase of 100% of Clear Channel España SL, a key outdoor advertising operator, for €115-135 million in September 2025, pending regulatory approval expected in early 2026. Additional strategic moves in H1 2025 include increasing its stake in digital news agency AC2ALITY to 50% and acquiring a 15% interest in Play'n Sábado, enhancing diversification into events, digital news, and out-of-home advertising.
