What is the price target of Live Nation Entertainment Inc (LYV)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $182.38, about 7.2% above the current $170.15. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.
What is the future stock price of LYV by 2030?
Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $1,993.60, built from revenue projections, a growth-adjusted P/S multiple, net debt, and share dilution. It is a scenario rather than a prediction, and the bull and bear cases around it matter more than the single number when you are sizing a position.

Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $148.00, a -2.1% margin of safety versus today's $170.15. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.
What is Live Nation Entertainment Inc's revenue?
Live Nation Entertainment Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $26.27B, and our model projects it reaching about $39.10B by 2030. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.
Altman Z-Score?
Live Nation Entertainment Inc's Altman Z-Score is 1.28, which places it in the distress. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
