Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.

LYV position long Harrison Liftman (‘22), Cathy Yao (‘22)

Thesis

Live Nation is considered an attractive investment as it is poised for recovery following the impacts of COVID-19, benefiting from the resurgence of live events.

Did it work?

worked confidence: low

The core thesis event — the post-COVID resurgence of live events — clearly materialized: concerts and live entertainment rebounded strongly from 2022 onward, and Live Nation returned to record revenues and a substantially recovered share price from its pandemic lows. However, with no price performance data and no pitch date provided, the magnitude and timing of the return attributable to the pitch cannot be verified.
