On Monday, CTS (NYSE:CTS) Eventim, a leading ticketing and live entertainment company, received a positive outlook from Jefferies, a global financial services company. The shares target for CTS Eventim was raised to €92.00, up from the previous €77.00, while the firm maintained a Buy rating on the stock.
The upgrade comes as Jefferies' analysis, based on their website visit tracker, indicates a robust artist lineup that is met with high ticket demand. This trend was notably influenced by artist Adele, who set new pricing standards in the first quarter of the year. Anticipating a rise in ticket prices, Jefferies has accordingly increased its EBITDA forecasts for CTS Eventim by 15-24% for the coming years.
Jefferies' projections place them slightly above the consensus for EBITDA, suggesting a more optimistic view of the company's financial performance. The raised price target to €92 reflects this positive stance.
Additionally, Jefferies sees a recent lawsuit filed against Live Nation, a competitor in the live entertainment industry, as an opportunity for CTS Eventim to potentially expand its market share in the United States.
The outlook for CTS Eventim is bolstered by these factors, as the company seems poised to capitalize on the current market dynamics. With the maintained Buy rating, Jefferies signals confidence in the company's ability to perform well in the near future.
