Not a single concert in sight, but Live Nation is about to close a deal within a week that should secure them around $1.2 Billion to stay afloat for the time being. The 6.5% senior secured notes will be used for general corporate purposes and will be due in 2027. (Their previous loans are first due in 2023). Since March 12, concert revenues dropped 24.6% in the first quarter and I'm assuming the 2nd quarter results will be even worse, just not sure if that's already priced in to their stock price even though revenue and earnings per share (EPS) forecasts were both revised downwards. If they're able to secure this funding, this should buy them enough time to when things go back to "normal", which we're not exactly sure what the new norm will be.
TA:
We're seeing a similar pattern in LYV that we have seen in a lot of other stocks, especially those in the entertainment/hospitality sector. We had a bearish pennant, and as expected, price has broken out downwards out of this pennant and looking for support. First support level we're looking for is around $34.88, followed by $22.18 levels. I like LYV for the long run so will be picking up some when we see some solid support occurring. We're going to keep out outlook Neutral for now as we wait to see if the funding is secured and we're still looking for some support.
