When does LYV report earnings?
Live Nation Entertainment was due to report earnings on November 5, 2026, and that date has passed. No further print date is on our calendar.
We published three rows for the run-up. At 6:35 a.m. PT on November 3 the row carried 2 days left, a price of $176.01 and a score of 63 at rank 64 of 100. At 6:34 a.m. PT on November 4 it carried 1 day left, $181.93 and a score of 64 at rank 56 of 93. The last row we published for the name was at 11:55 a.m. PT on November 5, and it carried 0 days left, $182.49 and a score of 66 at rank 40 of 71.
None of those three rows carried a release headline. The November 4 row carried a generic price and news line, and the November 5 row carried a stock-outlook headline. We will not say the print did something we cannot confirm it did, so this piece reports what the dated closes show and what the options market priced.
What the print date did to the price
The run-up into the date was the strongest part of the month, and the day after it was the weakest.
Live Nation closed October 12 at $169.64 and fell to $168.84 on October 14, the low close of the month. From there it worked up: $174.79 on October 20, $177.83 on October 29, $178.87 on November 3, then $183.18 on November 4, up 2.41% on that session and the highest close of the month.
Then the print date arrived and the stock fell. November 5 closed at $181.25, down 1.05% on the session. November 6 closed at $175.25, down 3.31%, which is the lowest close since October 28. The stock has since recovered some of it: $176.64 on November 9 and $178.25 on November 10, up 0.91% on the last session.
Three numbers frame it. From the October 12 close the stock is 5.08% higher. From the November 4 close, the high of the month, it is 2.69% lower. Over the week from November 3 it is 0.35% lower, which is a flat month for a stock that moved more than 8% inside its own range. The range between the $168.84 low and the $183.18 high spans 8.49%.
Was the move the print or the sector?
On the print date the live events names were down, and LYV fell less than most of them.
SPWH fell 5.17% that session, RICK 3.09%, WMG 1.94% and DIS 1.45%. LYV fell 1.05%. Only ED was up, at 0.95%, and GLOB rose 2.50%. So on November 5 the group did not explain LYV's decline, and LYV was not the worst name in its group either.
The month is where the lag shows. From October 12 to November 10, ED is up 11.27%, WMG 11.13%, DIS 9.88% and RICK 6.66%. LYV is up 5.08%, ahead of only SPWH, which is down 0.89%. A month in which the name tracked the group on the print date and then lagged it for the rest of the month is a month in which the print date was not the interesting part.

What the options market had priced in
The implied volatility on our row jumped 23.7 points on the print date, and the bands widened with it.
The November 3 row carried implied volatility of 78.8 around a $176.01 price, with a three-day band of $165.98 to $186.04, a seven-day band of $160.69 to $191.33 and a fourteen-day band of $154.34 to $197.68. The straddle was $10.03 running three days.
The November 4 row carried implied volatility of 81.9 around $181.93, with the three-day band at $171.15 to $192.71 and the fourteen-day at $158.65 to $205.21. The straddle was $8.80 running two days.
Then the November 5 row, published after that session closed, carried implied volatility of 105.6. The three-day band was $168.55 to $196.43, the seven-day $161.19 to $203.79 and the fourteen-day $152.37 to $212.61, with a straddle of $8.05 running a single day. Against the November 10 close of $178.25, that fourteen-day ceiling is 19.28% above the price and the floor is 16.99% below it. The market left a lot of room on both sides.
What the row said about the book
The analyst book did not move across the three rows, and neither did the short interest or the sentiment reading.
All three rows carried 25 ratings: 3 strong buys, 17 buys, 3 holds and 2 sells, which is 80.0% on the buy side. Short interest was 15.4% of the float on all three. The earnings sentiment reading was Negative on all three, which is worth zero points in the score however many analysts are on the buy side.
What changed was the score and the rank. The score went from 63 at rank 64 of 100 on November 3 to 66 at rank 40 of 71 on November 5, and most of that is arithmetic rather than news: names that had printed dropped off the table, so the same score bought a better rank. The market capitalisation moved from $41.0 billion to $42.51 billion, which is the price moving. There is no trailing or forward multiple on any of the three rows, and the table we publish each morning is readable at /open-data.
