Key Meeting Approvals
DÉKUPLE Shareholders Approve €0.76 Dividend, Renew Board at General Meeting
Anonymous
ADLPartner, the parent company of DÉKUPLE Group, held its Combined General Meeting in Paris on June 19, 2026, approving a dividend of €0.76 per share and renewing its full Board of Directors. Chaired by Bertrand Laurioz, the meeting passed every resolution put to shareholders, according to GlobeNewswire.
The meeting marked a formal milestone for the group's "Ambition 2030" strategic plan — a push to become a European leader in AI-driven data marketing. DÉKUPLE posted €242.6 million in net sales for 2025, up 11.4% year-on-year, and Q1 2026 revenue of €61.2 million, a further 5% gain, per GlobeNewswire.
Shareholders Approve Dividend and Share Buyback Program
Shareholders approved the €0.76-per-share dividend for the coming financial year. They also green-lit a share buyback program. Both moves signal strong confidence in the group's cash position, which stood at €55 million as of early 2026, according to ADVFN.
Analysts at EuroLand Corporate maintained a "Buy" rating on DÉKUPLE shares with a price target of €31.00. Data tracker DivvyDiary noted the group has kept a stable or growing dividend for over a decade, giving shareholders a yield of roughly 5.63% at current prices.
New Director Appointed as Board Grows to Ten Members
The board renewed the terms of nine sitting directors for three financial years. It also appointed Xavier Lépine as a new director for a three-year term. Lépine is a former Chairman of the Management Board of Groupe La Française and current President of the IEIF, per GlobeNewswire.
His appointment brings the board to 10 members. Board observer Dinesh Katiyar — who provides a Silicon Valley and venture capital perspective — also had his term renewed for three years. The meeting also updated the company's bylaws to comply with France's 2024 Attractivité Law, modernizing voting rules for the board.
Ambition 2030 Bets Big on AI and International Expansion
DÉKUPLE launched its "Ambition 2030" plan in December 2025, capping a five-year transformation that shifted the business to 66% digital. The group acquired influencer marketing firm Reech, creative agency Brainsonic, and German shop GUD.berlin during that cycle. More than 25% of staff now work outside France, per the 2025 Annual Report cited by MarketScreener.
International momentum is accelerating fast. International net revenue jumped 50% in Q1 2026. Just one day before the AGM, DÉKUPLE announced the launch of Das Kapital Dekuple Group, a new communication consultancy in Abu Dhabi, marking its first push into the Middle East, according to GlobeNewswire.
Insurance Unit Under Review as Legacy Press Business Shrinks
Not everything is growing. On June 11, DÉKUPLE launched a formal strategic review of its affinity insurance brokerage unit, ADLP Assurances. Analysts read this as a likely move to sell off a non-core traditional asset and free up funds for AI and marketing technology acquisitions, per MarketScreener.
The group's legacy magazine business is also shrinking. Net revenue in that segment fell 6.9% in Q1 2026, reflecting what GlobeNewswire called a "structurally declining press market." Laurioz said the group has positioned itself as "a true partner in brand growth" by fully integrating AI across its value chain — but the old business lines are clearly running out of road.
