24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent news often saw positive reactions to earnings and event updates, but regulatory/merger milestones have shown mixed price responses.
Over recent months, Getty Images reported record 2025 revenue of $981.3 million with adjusted EBITDA of $320.9 million, while still posting a net loss of $206.2 million. The stock reacted positively to the latest earnings release and the prior earnings date announcement, and modestly to major content-partnership wins like NASCAR and the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Games. However, U.S. antitrust clearance for the Shutterstock merger coincided with a notable price decline, showing that regulatory milestones have produced mixed trading responses as this listing compliance setback emerges.
