On October 8, 2026, Lamar Advertising upgraded an 18-year-old 14x48-foot billboard in Sioux Falls, which delivers an estimated 80% reduction in average annual energy use compared to the original 2008 display technology. The company replaced the location because key components reached end-of-life and spare parts were no longer available, demonstrating a strategy to protect revenue and long-term asset value. Previously, on October 7, 2026, Lamar Advertising announced it would release its third-quarter operating results for the period ended September 30, 2026, before the market opens on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
