Live Nation Entertainment: Valuation Is Still Not Cheap Enough Yet
I maintain a hold rating on Live Nation Entertainment stock due to its expensive valuation, despite strong growth drivers like venue expansion, ticketing monetization, and sponsorship growth. 4Q24 results showed revenue declined 2.7% y/y, but adj operating income grew ~35% y/y. LYV's aggressive venue expansion and international growth are crucial for predictable, high-margin revenue streams, enhancing its competitive position and growth runway.
