Liberty Media (ISIN US5312298541) remains a focus for investors on August 31, 2026 as the company’s Formula One tracking shares continue to be highlighted for their earnings growth potential and upside to current valuations.
Formula One tracking shares and valuation debate
A key lens for Liberty Media’s equity story is its Formula One tracking stock structure, which separates the motorsport franchise economics from other Liberty Media assets. Recent coverage of Liberty Media’s Series C Formula One shares points to a view that the stock could trade to $120 per share, a level that would represent double-digit upside versus current prices in the market.
Alongside that target, the same coverage cites a consensus view in which earnings per share tied to the Formula One business are expected to reach $2.25 in 2027, implying growth of 22 percent versus the prior year’s level. That combination of projected EPS expansion and price upside is central to the current bullish narrative around Liberty Media’s Formula One franchise and its associated tracking stock.
Consensus backdrop and current market context
The positive stance on Liberty Media’s Formula One business is supported by a consensus backdrop in which almost all analysts covering the stock have assigned a buy or equivalent rating. Only a small minority hold more cautious views, suggesting that the market’s base case anticipates continued revenue growth from race fees, media rights and sponsorships, together with operating leverage as costs scale more slowly than income.
In parallel, market data compiled for Liberty Media’s related tracking stocks shows that the Series A and Series C shares tied to other Liberty Media assets have recently traded close to the $100 mark. One such overview lists Liberty Live Series A at a closing price of $99.89 and Liberty Live Series C at $103.55 as of August 28, 2026, underscoring that investors are currently valuing Liberty’s broader asset base in a similar price range to the Formula One franchise.
Representative product: Formula One race calendar
A representative product of Liberty Media’s Formula One business is the annual Formula One race calendar. Each season’s calendar typically includes Grand Prix events across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas, with contracts that lock in hosting fees, local promotion and global broadcast rights. The structure of that calendar, and Liberty Media’s ability to add or renew high-fee venues, is a direct driver of the company’s long-term revenue trajectory from the sport.
Stock perspective for US investors
For US investors, Liberty Media’s tracking shares trade in US dollars on major US exchanges, which means that valuation and performance can be analyzed directly against US benchmarks and peers in the media and sports sector. The current analyst expectations for earnings growth into 2027, together with price targets that sit above recent trading levels, frame the risk-reward discussion for Liberty Media stock in the coming years.
