Update: In line with expectations

STV’s AGM trading update confirms that the year has started in line with expectations, with strong growth in digital revenues (up 33% in Q115) offsetting a slightly mixed TV advertising market. Our estimates are unchanged although we expect a slightly greater than usual weighting to the second half. STV is successfully leveraging its brand across new local and digital services, and the 2015e EV/EBITDA of 6.8x looks too low.
