Vivid Seats: Contrarian Upside Through Take-Rate Resilience And Global Expansion
We rate Vivid Seats a Strong Buy with a $5 PT, citing resilient take-rate and underappreciated international/resale segment growth as key upside drivers. The market is too focused on near-term GMV declines, missing SEAT's ability to defend a 16.3–16.8% take-rate and achieve above-consensus revenue growth. International expansion and SkyBox reseller adoption will add $15–$31mn incremental revenue by FY26E, diversifying growth and supporting margin resilience.

Vivid Seats: 2025 Guidance Suggests Major Market Share Pressure (Rating Downgrade)
Vivid Seats' Q4 financials met expectations with moderate marketplace volume, but strong monetization. The 2025 guidance is weak. While industry activity is improving, Vivid Seats guides stagnant GOV and revenues as competitive pressure in marketing is weakening market share prospects. Due to rising uncertainty, Vivid Seats' incredibly cheap stock valuation seems fair for now; I suggest waiting for a better immediate earnings outlook.
