Live Nation price target raised to $174 from $152 at Roth MKM

Roth MKM analyst Eric Handler raised the firm’s price target on Live Nation (LYV) to $174 from $152 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. After strong Q4 results, 2025 is set to benefit from the ongoing positive secular trends, an increasing number of consumer ticket purchases, and an expanding number of touring artists, all of which support Live Nation’s multi-year double-digit operating income growth outlook, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Early indicators for 2025 have been promising, with the rise in stadium shows, coupled with robust growth in Ticketing and Sponsorships, the firm adds.
