Key Considerations

  • 📊 The multi billion dollar UFC and WWE media deals, plus Zuffa Boxing and World Cup hospitality, concentrate TKO even more around media rights and live event economics.
  • 📊 Watch how cash flow, buyback execution on the US$1b program, and the 89.8x P/E versus the 37.0x industry average evolve as these contracts ramp.
  • ⚠️ The dividend yield of 1.39% is not well covered by earnings, so you may want to focus more on reinvestment and buyback outcomes than income.
