Liberty Formula One's (FWONK) revenue model, built on long-term contracts and predictable income streams, is expected to remain resilient despite broader macroeconomic challenges, UBS Securities said in a Q1 earnings preview on Friday.
UBS expects 10% growth in primary revenue in 2025, driven by normalized Las Vegas Grand Prix comparisons and a surge in sponsorship revenue stemming from upgraded deals with existing partners and an expanded sponsor base.
The investment firm said it expects a competitive bidding process for Formula One's rights due to its year-round global schedule, young audience demographics and relatively low cost per viewer hour.
Q1 primary revenue for Formula One is forecast to decline by 27% to $337 million while total company revenue is expected to fall 23% to $450 million due to a less favorable race calendar compared with the prior-year period, according to UBS.
The firm has a neutral rating on the stock and raised its price target to $93 from $85.
