Live Nation stock (ISIN US5380341090) was trading at EUR 151.45 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 1:14 p.m. CEST, down 0.16 percent versus the prior close of EUR 151.70. The company reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 7.7 billion, giving the market a fresh operating benchmark for the concert and ticketing cycle.
Q2 revenue reaches USD 7.7 billion
According to Live Nation Entertainment, revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, rose 9 percent to USD 7.7 billion. Operating income increased 7 percent to USD 522 million, while adjusted operating income rose 2 percent to USD 817 million and operating cash flow reached USD 419 million.
The comparison shows a different pace across the income measures: reported operating income grew faster than adjusted operating income in Q2. That gap makes cost control and the timing of stadium activity important variables for the second half.
EPS beat supports analyst targets
MarketBeat reported on September 18, 2026, that Live Nation delivered adjusted EPS of USD 1.05 in Q2 versus a USD 0.66 consensus estimate. The same report cited a Moderate Buy consensus from 24 research firms, with 20 buy ratings, three holds and one sell rating.
MarketBeat also cited a USD 197.19 average 12-month price target. The report named UBS at USD 208, Deutsche Bank at USD 205 and Bernstein at USD 215, while Weiss Ratings had cut its view to sell on September 1, 2026.
