Live Nation (LYV) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Live Nation (LYV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Live Nation Entertainment's positive outlook is supported by significant growth in event-related and Ticketmaster deferred revenue, which increased by 37% and 30%, respectively, indicating strong demand for live events and ticketing services. Additionally, the company's expansion plans involve the opening of large venues that are expected to add approximately 5 million fans in annual capacity, alongside robust concert promotion activities that yielded nearly 55,000 events and attracted over 150 million fans in 2024. The anticipated growth in ticket sales for 2026, which has already reached 26 million and is tracking double digits, further reflects broad-based demand and enhanced onsite spending, underpinning Live Nation's market leadership and financial resilience.
Bears say
Live Nation Entertainment is facing a negative outlook primarily due to a downward revision in its fourth quarter revenue and AOI forecasts, now projected at $6.049 billion and $202 million, respectively, reflecting a decline in average revenue per fan and ticket sales. The firm has also indicated that increased legal costs and adjustments in its secondary market business could hinder growth, necessitating a reduced annual growth forecast for AOI from 12% to 10.5%. Furthermore, revenue for 2024 was reported at $8.499 billion, slightly below expectations, highlighting challenges in maintaining ticket prices and sales volumes amid a changing geographic mix.
