In 2025, Sportradar laid out a three-year plan for its business through 2027. “Over the course of 2025 we delivered on this strategy,” said CEO Carsten Koerl during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call 3 March.

“We performed ahead of the expectations we laid out,” Koerl continued. “We see a long runway ahead for further expansion.”

Even so, Koerl lamented a “disconnect” between the fundamental strength of his business and its stock price. To that end, a US$300 million share-repurchase authorization was being increased to US$1 billion.

Among fourth-quarter achievements was the provision of IMG Arena content to Sportradar customers, reflecting a purchase that was consummated late in 2025.
