LOS ANGELES , May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE: LYV), the global leader in live events, today announced the election of Richard Grenell to its Board of Directors. Mr. Grenell brings decades of experience in diplomacy and negotiations, having served as U.S. Ambassador to Germany, Acting Director of National Intelligence, Presidential Envoy for Kosovo-Serbia Negotiations and Presidential Envoy for Special Missions.
Upgraded Live Nation Entertainment to a buy due to improved growth visibility, accelerating ticket sales, record deferred revenue, and strong international and margin execution. 1Q25 earnings showed solid margin execution despite a soft top-line, with significant improvements in the Concerts segment and strong international market performance.
