EyeEm Mobile GmbH/iStock via Getty Images Investment Summary My recommendation for CTS Eventim AG & Co. KGaA ( CEVMF ) is a hold rating. In my view, the core ticketing business is still strong, and the venue story is also getting clearer. The issue is that neither point is showing up cleanly in the near-term earnings outlook. FY2026 guidance looks soft, the bridge after the expired long-term contract is not clear, and management did not quantify that impact. So while I still see quality in the assets and some real long-term upside, I do not think there is enough visibility yet to turn bullish. Business Overview CEVMF operates through two segments: ticketing and live entertainment. The ticketing segment sells tickets through online platforms, mobile channels, box offices, and partner networks. It also provides software and ticketing solutions to promoters, venues, and other event organizers. The Live Entertainment segment organizes and promotes concerts, tours, festivals, and other live events. It also operates venues such as arenas, theaters, and open-air sites. Basically, CEVMF makes money mainly from ticket sales and service fees, with other revenue streams including software and platform services, event promotion, and venue operations. 4Q25 Earnings Review In 4Q25 , CEVMF reported group revenue of EUR 931 million, a growth of 19% y/y. Growth came from both segments. Ticketing revenue grew 11% y/y to EUR 350 million, while Live Entertainment revenue grew 25% y/y to EUR 595 million. In terms of profitability, Ticketing saw an adj. EBITDA of EUR 196 million, with an adj. EBITDA margin of 55.9%, roughly in line with last year. Live entertainment saw adj. EBITDA of EUR 50 million, with an adj. EBITDA margin of 8.5%. At the group level, adj. EBITDA grew 12% y/y to EUR 246 million, with adj. EBITDA margin at 26.4%. At the bottom line, net income was EUR 128 million, down 7% y/y. Ticketing Segment Ticketing is still the best business within CEVMF, in my view. Demand was ...

The Iran war is pushing the euro-area economy closer to the European Central Bank ’s adverse scenario, Governing Council member Gediminas Simkus said. “A few weeks ago, the ECB published its scenarios for economic development: the main, the less favorable and the least favorable,” he told LRT.lt in an interview . “I would think that the situation is moving toward the less favorable scenario.” The interview was conducted on April 2. Since then the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire in exchange for Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a last-ditch deal that averted President Donald Trump’s threatened escalation of the war. The Lithuanian central bank chief also said: “Markets are often a kind of indicator. They are currently pricing in two 25 basis point rate hikes this year. There is still some uncertainty about a third. Sometimes it is priced in, sometimes it is not — sentiment changes. Does it have to happen? No, not necessarily.” ECB’s Dolenc Says Longer Iran War Very Bad for Inflation, Growth ECB’s Wunsch Sees a Series of Rate Hikes If Iran War Lasts Long ECB May Be Facing More Adverse Scenario on Iran War, Radev Says

WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 06: U.S. President Donald Trump speaks alongside Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe (L) and U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (R) during a news conference in James S. Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House on April 06, 2026 in Washington, DC. Alex Wong | Getty Images News | Getty Images A temporary U.S.-Iran ceasefire sparked a broad relief rally across assets on Wednesday, but experts warned that any deal concerning lasting peace will be complicated by a major trust deficit. The ceasefire came following hastened diplomatic efforts led by Pakistan and just hours before Trump's threatened deadline for wiping out the entire Iranian civilization, briefly pulling the region back from the brink of a massive military bombardment. Oil prices cooled to below $100 per barrel following the ceasefire announcement, but remain far above the pre-war levels of around $70 per barrel. While U.S. President Donald Trump said the two-week ceasefire was contingent on the "complete, immediate, and safe opening" of the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian officials stated that safe passage through the strait would be "possible," subject to coordination with its armed forces and "technical limitations" — caveats that may give Iran some room to define compliance on its own terms. "This is a problem that could derail the ceasefire later this year," said Matt Gertken, chief geopolitical strategist at BCA Research, warning that the coordination requirement remains a risky ambiguity in both sides' statements so far. Trump may temporarily accept Iran as a gatekeeper — with U.S. midterm elections approaching and gasoline prices sharply higher than before the war — but after the election, the U.S. national security establishment will start to demand a more permanent solution," said Gertken. "Fighting will ignite later this year, if not later this month." A protester waves an Iranian flag and shouts slogans during a demonstration against US military action in Ira...
