Broken: Primary pillar broken — Full-year 2026 revenue near $968 million: FY26 revenue guidance mid $968M vs target ~$968M; Q2 FY26 revenue $229.1M, YoY -2.5%.
Getty Images aims for nearly $970 million revenue in 2026. Profit should reach about $287 million adjusted EBITDA. The OpenAI deal may boost growth. The company is fixing its NYSE listing issues.
Getty cancelled a big Shutterstock deal due to UK rules. Revenue growth is weak and may fall below expectations. The company still loses money and faces listing risks.
The market expects about -1% revenue growth next year. Our fair value is near $2.87, reflecting a turnaround with risks. We see some upside if growth and profits improve.
Breaks if: Adjusted EBITDA falls below $279 million in FY26
The company aims to maintain its full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance between $279 million and $295 million.
This is not a price target or investment advice.
A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
GETY represents a speculative growth investment with a medium confidence level. The company is currently loss-making and faces volatility in management and elevated risks, but it maintains guidance for revenue and adjusted EBITDA.
The market appears to have priced in a low expectations gap, indicating that investors are not overly optimistic. GETY is considered cheap compared to its peers, but the overall valuation reflects the company's ongoing struggles.
Fundamentals are likely to remain neutral in the near term, as the company has a high probability of missing earnings again. Management's commitment to guidance amid a challenging sector backdrop is a positive sign, but the risk of continued losses persists.
The thesis hinges on whether GETY can reinstate guidance after its recent suspension and if sector leaders like GOOGL and META continue to perform well. A shift in the performance of these bellwethers could significantly impact GETY's trajectory.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Mixed, the news cuts both ways. The company is addressing NYSE listing compliance, which strengthens the outlook. However, the latest earnings miss raises concerns about maintaining full-year 2026 revenue guidance.

Breaks if: NYSE listing compliance not achieved by end of 2026
Regain compliance with NYSE continued listing standards following notice of non-compliance due to stock price.
Newly stated in 2026-Q1. The company received a notice from NYSE on 2026-03-19 that it is not in compliance with listing standards due to average closing price below $1.00. No financial recovery or progress data is provided in the disclosures, indicating this remains an ongoing regulatory priority with limited progress reported.
“Company is not currently in compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standard due to stock price”
Breaks if: Revenue falls below $948 million in FY26
Continue to target full-year 2026 revenue between $948 million and $988 million despite market challenges and currency impacts.
Stated as a priority in 2 of last 2 quarters. Revenue was $226.6 million in 2026-Q1 and $229.1 million in 2026-Q2. The company maintains full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $948 million to $988 million despite a 2.5% year-over-year revenue decline in Q2. The trajectory shows persistent commitment to the guidance amid challenging market conditions.
