Fundamental analysis of Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.

LYV · NYSE · Consumer

Fundamental quality

REASONABLE

60

out of 100

Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. is in full growth mode but not yet profitable: revenue is growing strongly (61.9% a year), but it doesn't translate into earnings yet. On fundamental quality it scores 60 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its weakest area is its profitability (net margin 0.5%). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Live Nation is the world's concert empire: promoter of the biggest tours, owner of venues and festivals and of Ticketmaster, the box office everyone loves to hate. From the artist's fee to the arena's beer, it collects at every link of live music.

What will shape its future

  • The appetite for live experiences, the demand not even inflation has curbed.
  • The antitrust case against Ticketmaster, the regulatory sword over the group.
  • International expansion of tours and venues, its natural growth path.
