Benjamin Swinburne has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors tied to both valuation and business mix. TKO’s latest quarter slightly exceeded revenue expectations and met profit forecasts, and the 2026 outlook signals strong growth following recent media rights renewals, which supports modest upward revisions to earnings and free cash flow projections.
At the same time, the shares already trade at a notable premium to the broader media and entertainment sector, with valuation metrics implying a high multiple of 2026 free cash flow once stock-based compensation and payments to Endeavor are included. In addition, the On Location business, which will be prominent around the Olympics and World Cup, is more volatile and converts less of its earnings into cash than UFC and WWE, reinforcing a balanced risk‑reward profile consistent with a Hold stance.
According to TipRanks, Swinburne is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 10.3% and a 54.49% success rate. Swinburne covers the Communication Services sector, focusing on stocks such as Spotify, Sphere Entertainment, and Comcast.
In another report released today, TipRanks – OpenAI also downgraded the stock to a Hold with a $221.00 price target.
