Rhea AI LYV FY2025 2026-05-05

Higher operating earnings are being offset by a more capital-intensive cash cycle, leaving free cash conversion unusually thin for such a large revenue base.

The clearest FY2025 shift is that operating progress stopped turning into free cash: operating income rose to $1.25B, but free cash flow fell to $334M. That gap widened because capital spending climbed to $1.06B while operating cash flow slipped from $1.73B, meaning a larger business required materially more reinvestment before cash was left over.

Cash of $7.09B is substantial, but a current ratio near 1.0x shows much of that liquidity is tied to short-term operating needs rather than sitting idle. With total equity only $271M, the balance sheet carries a very small equity cushion, so leverage ratios look extreme because liabilities finance almost all assets.

FY2025 revenue reached $25.2B while selling and administrative expense stayed near $4.09B, so additional volume was not matched by the same pace of overhead growth. That cost shape pushed operating margin up to 5.0% from 3.6%, which points more to fixed-cost absorption than to a broad improvement in cash generation.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 46/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Live Nation Entertainment Inc's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Live Nation Entertainment Inc has an operating margin of 5.0%, meaning the company retains $5 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 40/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 3.6% the prior year.

Growth

Live Nation Entertainment Inc's revenue grew 8.8% year-over-year to $25.2B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 52/100.

Leverage

Live Nation Entertainment Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 28.09, meaning only $28.09 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 70/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Live Nation Entertainment Inc's current ratio of 1.00 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 18/100. However, the company holds substantial cash reserves (64% of current liabilities), which buffers actual liquidity risk. Large mature operators often run tight current ratios by design.

Cash Flow

While Live Nation Entertainment Inc generated $1.4B in operating cash flow, capex of $1.1B consumed most of it, leaving $333.6M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 39/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Live Nation Entertainment Inc's ROE of 183.0% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 59/100. This is down from 517.3% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone

2.34

Live Nation Entertainment Inc scores 2.34, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

Piotroski F-Score Partial

4/8

Live Nation Entertainment Inc passes 4 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

2.81x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Live Nation Entertainment Inc generates $2.81 in operating cash flow ($1.4B OCF vs $496.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

4.0x

Live Nation Entertainment Inc earns $4.0 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($1.3B vs $316.0M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
