Investing.com -- Shares of CTS (NYSE:CTS) surged by 4.5% today after the company released its preliminary fourth-quarter results, which exceeded analysts' expectations. The robust performance was attributed to significant growth in both its Ticketing and Live Entertainment segments.

The company announced that its 2024 sales reached approximately €2.8 billion, marking a 19% increase year-over-year (YoY) and surpassing the FactSet consensus by roughly 5%. Adjusted EBITDA for the year also saw a healthy uptick, coming in at €542 million, a 22% YoY rise and about 4% higher than the consensus estimate of €519 million.

Investors reacted positively to the news, driving the stock upward in today's trading session. The full audited annual report for 2024 is scheduled to be published on March 27, 2024, which may provide further insights into the company's financial health and future outlook.

Today's stock movement reflects the market's favorable response to CTS's ability to outperform expectations and deliver substantial growth amidst a challenging economic environment. With both core segments of the business demonstrating strong performance, investors seem to be optimistic about the company's trajectory heading into the next fiscal year.
