The earnings call shows mixed results: a decrease in operating income and net loss, but a dividend increase and growth in certain subscriber bases. The Q&A session didn't reveal major risks, but management's lack of clarity on potential REIT conversion was noted. The flat revenue outlook and adjusted EBITDA, along with moderate capex, suggest stability rather than growth. Given these factors, a neutral stock price movement is expected, as there are no strong catalysts for a significant change.

Although international growth is a positive, the flat 2025 revenue and EBITDA outlook, coupled with restructuring costs, point to challenges.

Despite some operational improvements, the overall outlook is cautious, suggesting a negative stock price reaction in the short term.
