Lamar Advertising Company's trailing twelve-month revenue is $2.29B, and consensus projects about $3.17B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is LAMR?

How much free cash flow does LAMR generate?
LAMR produced $736.01M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
