Clear Channel Outdoor stock is up 46% in the last week on news that Mabudala Capital  is in takeover talks.   Mabudala is the sovereign wealth fund of Abu Dhabi.  The company is a global asset management platform with 430 billion in assets under management. It has a team of 200 investment professionals across five offices.

We note that this isn’t the first time a mideastern investment fund has been interested in US out of home assets. Dubai-based Multiply Media Group, attended OOH MediaCon 2025 and was taking meetings in an effort to explore potential US acquisitions. Maybe they’ll join the hunt for Clear Channel Outdoor.

With the recent rise in stock, Clear Channel Outdoor has an enterprise value of $7 billion and is trading at 13.6 times EBIDTA.  Debt accounts for $6.4 billion of the company’s total enterprise value.  Lamar has an enterprise value of $17 billion or 15.7 times EBITDA.  OUTFRONT has an enterprise value of $7.2 billion or 17.4 times EBITDA.
