Additionally, the company reported a 9% year-over-year revenue increase in Q2, reaching $7.7 billion, showcasing robust demand in the live entertainment sector. However, the main risk is the high forward P/E ratio of 500, which indicates that the stock is priced for significant future growth and could be vulnerable to market corrections if growth expectations are not met.
