Live Nation (LYV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Live Nation Entertainment demonstrates strong financial growth with event-related deferred revenue increasing by 37% and Ticketmaster deferred revenue up by 30%. The company's expansion plans, featuring new large venues set to open in 2025-2026, aim to add approximately 5 million fans in annual capacity, significantly enhancing international market presence. Furthermore, the solid growth in ticketing, onsite fan spending, and sponsorship commitments, all tracking double digits, indicates a robust demand for live events, positioning Live Nation for continued success in the live entertainment market.
Bears say
Live Nation Entertainment has revised its fourth-quarter revenue and adjusted operating income (AOI) forecasts downward, with expectations set at $6.049 billion and $202 million, respectively, signaling a slowdown from earlier estimates primarily due to a flat average revenue per fan for concerts and a reduced number of tickets sold through its Ticketing segment. Total revenue for 2024 came in at $8.499 billion, slightly below both consensus projections and earlier forecasts, highlighting challenges in achieving revenue growth due to geographic mix issues and increased operational costs. Furthermore, the anticipated growth in AOI has been curtailed to 10.5%, down from a prior estimate of 12%, largely driven by legal costs and adjustments in the secondary market business, raising concerns about financial performance stability moving forward.
