In the said letter, Brown Advisory highlighted a few stocks and Live Nation Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:LYV) is one of them. Live Nation Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:LYV) is an events promoter and venue operator based in California. Year-to-date, Live Nation Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:LYV) stock lost 33.3% and on July 23rd it had a closing price of $48.00. Here is what Brown Advisory said:
“We took advantage of market weakness early in the quarter to build a small position in LiveNation. The company dominates the market for producing, ticketing, and marketing live concerts. Its fundamentals are decimated by the global pandemic in the short term. The company took steps to strengthen its balance sheet, and we believe it could emerge in an even more advantageous position as economies re-open and accelerate in 2021 and 2022.”
