Live Nation Sour Notes Provide Static: Overvalued And Debt-Heavy, It's Time To Sell
LYV
Published: July 14, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

I believe the vastly overbought shares of Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. reveal an emotional tug, a larger-than-usual affinity for the pop culture concerts they have built. If the DOJ's lawsuit should prevail against Live Nation, it is likely that we will see a split up between LYV and its Ticketmaster unit. I cannot dismiss LYV stock's overbought status at $144 when the Sword of Damocles swings as low as it is because of the DOJ threat.
