Financial Health Signals
Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In has an operating margin of 19.4%, meaning the company retains $19 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 65/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is up from 18.6% the prior year.
Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In's revenue grew 6.6% year-over-year to $1.6B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 44/100.
Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In's current ratio of 1.28 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 21/100, which could limit financial flexibility.
While Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In generated $114.9M in operating cash flow, capex of $82.9M consumed most of it, leaving $32.0M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 30/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In scores -1.70, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($1.2B) relative to total liabilities ($7.2B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In generates $5.76 in operating cash flow ($114.9M OCF vs $19.9M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In earns $0.8 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($310.6M vs $395.6M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
