What the filing says
Live Nation reported Q2 2026 revenue of $7.7 billion (+9% YoY), adjusted operating income of $817 million (+2% YoY), and 49 million fan attendance (+10%). Through mid-July, 143 million tickets sold (+14 million vs. prior year pace); Ticketmaster AOI grew 14% on 90 million fee-bearing tickets (+8%). Concerts revenue grew 8% to $6.4B but AOI declined 14% to $310M due to show timing and venue pre-opening costs. Sponsorship AOI grew 13% to $257M. Company maintains double-digit AOI growth guidance for full year 2026 and projects $1.1B capex with 15M fan capacity additions through end 2027.
Why this rating
Strong operational momentum (revenue +9%, record deferred revenue $6.4B) with sequential capex execution offsetting Q2 AOI pressure; meaningful but not transformational relative to $24.1B market cap.
