Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings (NYSE: CCO) is an out-of-home advertising company that sells display advertising space on billboards, transit displays, street furniture, and digital screens. It generates revenue by leasing advertising space to brands and media buyers on a transactional basis, charging fees tied to audience reach, format, and display duration. As of the 10-K filed February 26, 2026, CCO has divested substantially all of its international operations, including its Europe-North segment and Latin American businesses sold in 2025, and its Europe-South segment sold in 2023, leaving the company focused on its U.S. out-of-home business. A pending take-private merger announced February 9, 2026 would acquire the company through an investor consortium comprising affiliates of Mubadala Capital and TWG Global. The company carries a heavily leveraged capital structure typical of large out-of-home media operators.
