Jason Bazinet has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors pointing to stronger fundamentals and shareholder support. He highlights that TKO’s fourth-quarter results exceeded market expectations on both revenue and adjusted EBITDA, with WWE and UFC segments notably outperforming, and he views the improving margin profile as a key positive for future profitability.
At the same time, he acknowledges that the 2026 revenue outlook was softer than consensus, which likely weighed on the stock’s immediate reaction, but he places greater weight on management’s higher-than-expected adjusted EBITDA guidance. He also emphasizes the planned $1 billion share repurchase program starting in March 2026 as a meaningful catalyst that should enhance shareholder returns and support the stock, reinforcing his Buy recommendation.
In another report released on February 19, Bernstein also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $250.00 price target.
