Liberty Formula One stock initiated with Neutral rating by BofA Securities

Investing.com - Liberty Formula One (NASDAQ:FWONK) stock received its initial coverage from BofA Securities on Monday, with analysts assigning a Neutral rating and setting a $110.00 price target. The company, currently valued at approximately $25 billion, has shown strong momentum with a 28% return over the past year according to InvestingPro data.

The price target represents approximately 11% potential upside from current levels, according to BofA Securities analyst Brent Navon, who initiated the coverage.

BofA’s price objective is based on approximately 31 times the firm’s calendar year 2026 estimated free cash flow multiple, which represents a significant premium to the media and entertainment comparison group.

The premium valuation reflects "the value of high-quality IP assets, perception as a trophy asset and visibility of top-line growth drivers for the foreseeable future," according to the research note.

BofA Securities believes the risk/reward profile is "more balanced at current levels" as the strong execution over recent years is already priced into the shares, noting that operating company revenues have grown at an 11% compound annual growth rate since 2019.
