Future returns to growth in the second half

A year on from Future’s (FUTR) announcement of a “growth acceleration strategy” (GAS), the £25mn-£30mn investment programme has had an impact. The magazine publisher’s return to organic revenue growth in its second half, along with guidance for an “accelerating” performance beyond 2025 and confirmation of a new £55mn share buyback starting in January, highlights that things have started to move in the right direction again after a post-pandemic downturn.
