Volkswagen's SEAT, the Spanish subsidiary of Europe's largest carmaker, will be forced to cut output and lay off around 1,500 workers if the EU does not lower its tariff on the brand's China-made electric car by the end of March, its CEO told Reuters.
Vivid Seats (NASDAQ:SEAT) remains an attractive takeover target for private equity firms despite the recent rally in its share price, analysts at Citi believe. Earlier this week, it was reported that Vivid Seats is exploring a sale and working with an advisor to gauge interest from potential buyers.
Vivid Seats has faced a marketplace GOV slowdown due to slower industry activity in 2024, tracking competitor Live Nation's similar decline. FTC is aiming to ban hidden fees in the purchase process, which could hurt Vivid Seats' industry. The potential ban's effects on Vivid Seats remain uncertain, though. Given a mid-term recovery with better industry activity, SEAT stock remains valued incredibly attractively. I estimate 76% upside to a fair value of $6.58.

Vivid Seats has continued reporting good revenue growth momentum after the prior acquisitions, with the company anticipating years of double-digit growth. Cost control has been worse in recent quarters, pushing earnings down and acting as a considerable risk. Extensive share repurchases should drive great shareholder value.
