Live Nation (LYV) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Live Nation (LYV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Live Nation Entertainment has demonstrated significant growth prospects, highlighted by a 37% increase in event-related deferred revenue and a 30% rise in Ticketmaster deferred revenue, indicating strong consumer demand and improved spending habits. The company is set to expand its capacity with the opening of new large venues in 2025-2026, which is expected to increase annual fan capacity by approximately 5 million, predominantly in international markets. Additionally, broad-based increases in ticket sales—up by double digits to 26 million for 2026—alongside improved onsite spending at refurbished venues, highlight a robust financial trajectory and positive outlook for future revenue generation.
Bears say
Live Nation Entertainment is facing a negative outlook primarily due to a revision in its fourth-quarter revenue and adjusted operating income (AOI) forecasts, which have been lowered to $6.049 billion and $202 million, respectively, from previous estimates of $6.578 billion and $262 million. This decline is attributed to a static average revenue per fan in Concerts and a lower number of tickets sold for Ticketing, combined with a reduction in the average fee per ticket, highlighting ongoing challenges related to geographic sales mix and increased international events. Additionally, rising legal costs and modifications to their secondary market operations contribute to the decreased growth expectations, with projections for AOI growth adjusted down to 10.5% from an earlier 12% estimate.
