What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($84.84). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (48/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range ($34.21 to $84.84) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 22, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $65.34 – $188.46 · fair‑value band $34.21 – $84.84 · the $177.49 price screens above the $59.97 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 22, 2026.
Analysis
Live Nation Entertainment Inc (LYV) currently trades at $177.49, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $59.97, implying the stock looks roughly 195.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $60.16 per share, and 0 of the 26 models we run sit above the $177.49 price. Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at $22.24, and 26 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, Live Nation Entertainment Inc generated revenue of $25.6B at a net margin of 0.3%. Revenue grew 12.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.9%. Net debt stands at $5.3B. Fundamentals as of Aug 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $34.21 (bear case) to $84.84 (bull case); at $177.49, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 42% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at −45% fair-value upside, at −66%, LYV screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($60.16) versus Asset-Based ($5.24). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (74).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 49 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 58
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
