Benjamin Swinburne has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors including the recent media rights agreements for WWE and UFC, which have improved the adjusted EBITDA outlook. The shares are currently priced at a premium relative to similar companies, reflecting the contracted growth and high free cash flow conversion of TKO Group Holdings. However, the opportunities for further multiple expansion appear limited, and the range of potential equity outcomes is fairly narrow.
Additionally, while there are growth opportunities from new site fees and partnerships, the overall capital allocation strategy presents challenges. The business is trading at a 3% free cash flow yield, and options for accretive mergers and acquisitions are limited, with share buybacks offering only modest accretion. These factors contribute to the Hold rating as the current valuation already reflects the anticipated growth and risks.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 68 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is positive on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders buying their shares of TKO in relation to earlier this year.
