Live Nation stock (ISIN US5380341090) traded at USD 172.73 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 14, 2026, up 1.52 percent intraday. The move came as Live Nation highlighted its busiest U.S. fan attendance week of 2026 and a new global study on live experiences, according to ad hoc news on September 14, 2026.

Q2 figures set the tone

Live Nation reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 7.67 billion and EPS of USD 1.05 on July 30, 2026, topping consensus EPS of USD 0.66 by USD 0.39, according to MarketBeat. Revenue rose 9.4 percent year over year, and the company also posted a net margin of 0.34 percent for the quarter.

Ticketing remained a scale driver in Q2 2026. The same MarketBeat report said Live Nation handled 90.1 million fee-bearing tickets, up 8 percent from a year earlier, while ticketing revenue reached USD 852.2 million, up 15 percent year over year.

Analysts stay constructive

Analyst sentiment still leans positive. According to MarketBeat, Live Nation has 20 Buy ratings, three Hold ratings and one Sell rating, with a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and an average price target of USD 197.19. JPMorgan also lifted its target to USD 205.00 from USD 180.00 in July, the same report showed.

The risk case is clear as well. The ad hoc report cited a USD 450 million best estimate tied to an April 15, 2026 federal jury verdict on antitrust claims, which keeps legal overhang in the frame even as demand remains strong.

Price and range

Live Nation stock last traded at USD 172.73 on September 14, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 125.34 to USD 189.24 and market capitalization of USD 40.44 billion. At that level, the shares sat below the analyst consensus target of USD 197.19 but well above the yearly low.
