Investing.com - Jefferies has raised its price target on TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:TKO) to $250.00 from $220.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The company, currently valued at $15.71 billion, has shown impressive momentum with a 62% return over the past year and is trading near its 52-week high of $191.51.

The price target increase reflects potential upside from the newly announced seven-year, $7.7 billion UFC rights deal, according to the research firm.

Jefferies noted that media rights secured for both UFC and WWE establish a base of recurring revenue, while additional upside remains from assets not yet monetized, new sponsorship opportunities, and continued synergy realization.

The firm revised its target multiple to approximately 23x, citing enhanced visibility and solid free cash flow for TKO Group.

TKO Group Holdings was formed through the merger of UFC and WWE, with the company now having secured long-term media rights deals for both of its major properties.
