Live Nation (LYV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Live Nation Entertainment has demonstrated strong financial momentum, with event-related deferred revenue up 37% and Ticketmaster deferred revenue increasing by 30%. The company's expansion plans are robust, as it is set to open new large venues that will add approximately 5 million fans in annual capacity over the next two years, while ticket sales for 2026 are tracking at 26 million, indicating broad-based growth. Additionally, concert attendance and revenue per fan have risen significantly, with average grosses and sponsorship commitments also experiencing double-digit growth, reflecting a strong demand for live events and improved onsite spending.
Bears say
Live Nation Entertainment has experienced a downward revision in its 4Q revenue and Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) forecasts, projecting revenues of $6.049 billion (+6.5%) and AOI of $202 million (+28%), a significant drop from prior estimates. Key factors contributing to these revised forecasts include a stagnation in average revenue per fan for concerts and a lower number of tickets sold for Ticketing, exacerbated by increased legal costs and operational changes within the secondary market business. Additionally, even though revenue for the year 2024 was reported at $8.499 billion (+11%), it fell short of consensus projections, highlighting potential ongoing challenges in achieving previous growth targets.
