Strong reported revenue growth of 35% year-over-year and positive price momentum coexist with a quality score well below the minimum investable threshold — driven by a Piotroski F-Score of 3 out of 9, near-zero margin scores, and three misses in four quarters — while a 52.1x forward multiple and less than 1% upside to the technical target remove any remaining margin of safety.

About Liberty Live Holdings, Inc. - S
About Liberty Live Holdings, Inc. - S
Liberty Live Holdings holds approximately 30% of Live Nation Entertainment, which distributed 646 million tickets and connected 805 million fans at 55,000 events in 55 countries in 2025. The company completed its separation from Liberty Media Corporation via split-off on December 15, 2025. Live Nation's Concerts segment generated $20.9 billion (83% of Live Nation's total revenue), Ticketing generated $3.1 billion (12%), and Sponsorship & Advertising generated $1.3 billion (5%) in 2025.
Liberty Live's primary economic exposure is its equity method investment in Live Nation; the company does not receive distributions from Live Nation other than as an ordinary stockholder and recognizes its proportionate share of Live Nation's earnings or losses. Live Nation earns Concerts revenue primarily from ticket sales at 460 owned or operated venues and 131 festivals globally, paying artists under fixed guarantee and profit-share formulas, and generates higher-margin venue revenue from concessions, premium seating, and parking. The Ticketing segment operates as an agency retaining a portion of service charges on 346 million fee-paying tickets in 2025 under multi-year exclusive agreements with arenas, stadiums, and promoters. Sponsors including Citibank, Mastercard, O2, Cisco, Red Bull, and Anheuser Busch provided sponsorship revenue tied to Live Nation's physical and digital assets. Liberty Live also owns QuintEvents and is subject to a services agreement under which Liberty Media provides management, legal, and administrative functions for approximately $9.0 million annually.
Show full overview
The U.S. Department of Justice and state attorneys general have filed antitrust suit against Live Nation alleging violations of federal and state competition law; the FTC and state attorneys general have separately sued Live Nation over alleged deceptive and illegal ticketing practices. An unfavorable outcome in either proceeding may weigh on Live Nation's operations and, in turn, on Liberty Live's equity method earnings. John C. Malone beneficially owned shares representing in excess of 50.0% of Liberty Live Group's aggregate voting power as of January 31, 2026, a position that could deter third-party acquisition activity.
