ITV PLC reported a 2% revenue increase to £1.9 billion in H1 2026, with adjusted earnings per share rising 22%. Growth was driven by ITV Studios and digital advertising, including a 27% rise in ITVX viewing. The company remains on track to meet full-year guidance despite expected Q3 advertising revenue decline due to economic challenges. ITV declared a 1.7p interim dividend and announced a £100 million share buyback, funded by anticipated proceeds from its proposed Media & Entertainment sale to Sky, which is under regulatory review and expected to complete in H2 2027.
