Few hedge fund managers command the attention of Wall Street quite like Dan S. Loeb. As the founder of Third Point, a $7 billion hedge fund, Loeb has made his mark with bold activist strategies that challenge the status quo and drive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/hedge-funds">transformation in global companies.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Portfolio Overview</h3>
As of Q3 2024, Third Point's portfolio is valued at $7.37 billion, comprising 41 investments. The fund gained 5.3% during the quarter, with top holdings including Pacific Gas &amp; Electric Co.

Investment Strategy:
<ul>
<li>Loeb is a prominent activist investor who acquires significant stakes in underperforming companies to advocate for improvements in management, operations, or governance, with the goal of enhancing shareholder value. A key example is his 2011 investment in Yahoo, where a 5% stake and strategic push led to transformations and over $1 billion in gains, <a href="https://hedgefundalpha.com/dan-loeb-portfolio/">according </a>to Hedge Fund Alpha.</li>
<li>Throughout his career, Loeb has focused more on creating spin-offs than investing in existing ones. He recently applied his activist strategy with Sony and Shell to pursue spin-offs, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/28/shell-vs-activist-dan-loeb-is-bigger-for-big-oil-than-exxon-board-war.html">according </a>to CNBC, but was unsuccessful in these efforts.</li>
<li>Beyond equities, Loeb explores opportunities in credit markets, including distressed debt and corporate bonds, aiming to generate high-risk-adjusted returns by exploiting inefficiencies in those areas. In 2012, Loeb invested in Greek sovereign bonds during the financial crisis, assessing the risk-reward ratio and achieving strong returns, adding to an already successful year, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2012/10/03/third-points-loeb-bets-big-and-wins-on-greek-debt.html">reported</a>.</li>
</ul>
Historical Performance: Since launching in 1995, the fund has averaged annual returns of 16%, attracting new investors with consistent positive performance, according to Hedge Fund Alpha.
Loeb's major successes came during the dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis, with his fund posting a 45% return in 2009 despite a market downturn.
Third Point&#8217;s assets under management reportedly peaked at nearly $18 billion in 2022 before declining to approximately $7 billion, attributed to underperformance during a challenging market period in 2022. By the end of 2023, the fund achieved modest positive returns, indicating some stabilization.

Benchmark Maintains Buy on Live Nation Entertainment, Raises Price Target to $160

Global superstar Taylor Swift turned 35 years old on Friday, Dec. 13, and continues to be one of the most in-demand musicians as witnessed by a recent auction for old family Christmas cards and her recent success with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42351922/trump-predicted-taylor-swift-sales-would-drop-target-data-shows-over-800k-sold">tour photo book.</a>
What Happened: Swift is likely celebrating the end of her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42393880/taylor-swifts-record-breaking-eras-tour-wraps-a-look-at-the-numbers">record-breaking "Eras Tour"</a> along with her birthday on Friday, but some investors or fans will soon be celebrating their recent purchase.
Auction company Goldin, which is owned by eBay Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>) recently sold two holiday photo cards featuring a young Swift on them, including two Christmas cards sent to friends and family by her parents.
The 1992 and 1993 Christmas cards, sold in separate auctions, featured Swift as a three-year-old and four-year-old respectively, alongside her younger brother.
The 1993 card features the written inscription "from our family to yours…much love, the Swifts/ Scott, Andrea, Taylor (4 years), &amp; Austin (almost 2)."
The Christmas photo cards sold for $2,318 (1992) and $2,566 (1993) for a combined $4,884.

"It's incredible the things people save from three decades ago," Goldin Auctions founder and CEO Ken Goldin said, as <a href="https://www.cllct.com/sports-collectibles/auctions/two-taylor-swift-family-holiday-cards-sell-for-nearly-5k">reported </a>by cllct. "The fact that so many people were interested in these two items and each received so many bids, it shows the incredible worldwide popularity of Taylor Swift."

Among the top sales for Goldin are a handwritten, twice-signed lyric sheet for Swift's song "Tim McGraw," which sold for $87,840, a signed acoustic guitar that sold for $9,762 and a lot of 40 signed "Folklore" CD inserts which sold for $5,957.
A separate 1993 holiday card also sold for $2,562 earlier this year by Goldin.
Swift's Eras Tour broke records and fans continue to gravitate to memorabilia and merchandise from the singer.
The singer recently released a photo book with pictures and behind-the-scenes stories from the tour through an exclusive partnership with Target Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>). The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42244324/black-friday-frenzy-shoppers-queue-for-taylor-swift-merch-retro-gadgets-and-more-as-retailers-open-doors-early-amid-shortened-shopping-season">book drew lines </a>on Black Friday and also set impressive milestones in its first weekend of availability.
The book sold 814,000 copies over the Black Friday shopping weekend, according to data from Circana&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/taylor-swift-eras-book-sales-2024-record-c40605042af98eac2e9a7897a4bc2d73" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported&nbsp;</a>by the Associated Press.
The sales figures come with Target being the only retailer offering the book and being an in-store item for at least the first day. The number makes Swift&#8217;s book the top seller for the week and the biggest launch of 2024.
Swift&#8217;s book is the second-biggest nonfiction launch of all time, trailing only the first volume of&nbsp;Barack Obama&#8216;s&nbsp;2020 memoir, &#8220;A Promised Land,&#8221; the AP reports. The former president's book sold 816,000 copies in its first week. Unlike Swift&#8217;s book, Obama&#8217;s was widely released.
Goldin and eBay can be added to the list of companies that Swift has helped thanks to her popularity, a list that includes AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>). Swift was also recently named the top streamed artist on Spotify (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42325116/2024-was-worlds-taylor-swift-era-once-again-spotify-reveals-top-artists-songs-albums-podcasts">second straight year.</a>
President-elect Donald Trump said that Swift's popularity and merchandise sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40815602/trump-shakes-off-taylor-swifts-harris-endorsement-in-2024-election-shell-probably-pay-a-pri">could take a hit</a> after endorsing Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
&#8220;She seems to always endorse a Democrat and she&#8217;ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.&#8221;
It appears Trump has severely underestimated the fandom of the Swifties.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Live Nation Entertainment 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Live Nation Entertainment's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) short percent of float has fallen 8.91% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 13.61 million shares sold short, which is 8.69% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.55 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Live Nation Entertainment has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Live Nation Entertainment's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Live Nation Entertainment's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.20%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced on Nov. 22 that it settled charges against United Parcel Service for materially misrepresenting its earnings because it failed to follow generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) when valuing one of its worst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42151959/financial-crime-weekly-ups-pays-45m-fine-bit-mining-pays-4m-fine-for-bribery">performing businesses</a>.&nbsp;

Jim Cramer Is 'Not A Fan' Of Novavax, Says This Tech Stock Is 'Expensive'

President-elect Donald Trump predicted that Taylor Swift would see her sales take a hit after endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president, but new data shows that is far from the case as the musician continues to dominate concerts, movies<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42325116/2024-was-worlds-taylor-swift-era-once-again-spotify-reveals-top-artists-songs-albums-podcasts"> and streaming lists.</a>
Swift is also seeing huge success with her new book.
What Happened: Swift launched a new "Eras Tour Book" that provides photos and behind-the-scenes stories and images from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/12/36221025/taylor-swifts-eras-tour-shatters-guinness-record-for-highest-grossing-music-tour-how-much-d">record-breaking Eras Tour.</a>
The book was released on Black Friday exclusively in Target Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) stores. While many holiday shoppers may have chosen to shop online this year and skip standing in lines and waiting outside stores on Black Friday, Target<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42244324/black-friday-frenzy-shoppers-queue-for-taylor-swift-merch-retro-gadgets-and-more-as-retailers-open-doors-early-amid-shortened-shopping-season"> saw lines </a>at stores thanks to the exclusive Swift book.
Swift's new book sold 814,000 copies over the Black Friday shopping weekend, according to data from Circana <a href="https://apnews.com/article/taylor-swift-eras-book-sales-2024-record-c40605042af98eac2e9a7897a4bc2d73">reported </a>by the Associated Press.
The sales figures come with Target being the only retailer offering the book and being an in-store item for at least the first day. The number makes Swift's book the top seller for the week and the biggest launch of 2024.
According to the report, Circana tracks around 85% of the print market.
Swift's book is the second-biggest nonfiction launch of all time, trailing only the first volume of Barack Obama's 2020 memoir, "A Promised Land," the AP reports. The former president&#8217;s book sold 816,000 copies in its first week. Unlike Swift's book, Obama's was widely released.

Why It's Important: The strong early sales of Target&#8217;s exclusive book highlight Swift&#8217;s undeniable success—something Trump may want to keep in mind.
Earlier this year, Swift<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40815602/trump-shakes-off-taylor-swifts-harris-endorsement-in-2024-election-shell-probably-pay-a-pri"> announced her endorsement</a> for Kamala Harris for president in the 2024 election. The endorsement didn't sit well with Trump.
Trump said he wasn&#8217;t surprised by Swift supporting Harris, saying &#8220;she&#8217;s a very liberal person.&#8221;
&#8220;She seems to always endorse a Democrat and she&#8217;ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace," Trump said.
The suggestion that endorsing Harris could hurt Swift's future album and merchandise sales might be proven untrue already with the book launch.
The book&#8217;s success comes as the global superstar has witnessed success and helped boost public companies in several sectors previously.
Streaming company Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) recently named Swift the most streamed artist worldwide for 2024, taking the title for a second straight year. Swift also ranked as the top streamed artist in the United States, with several albums among the most streamed for the year.
Swift also saw her concert film <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/39010959/amc-ceo-says-were-still-here-how-taylor-swift-popcorn-buckets-help-movie-theater-from-going">set records for</a> AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>), despite the film bypassing the traditional release model.
The record-breaking Eras Tour has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/02/37273654/live-nation-entertainment-q4-earnings-highlights-taylor-swift-effect-continues-with-record-attendan">boosted the financials</a> of Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>), which owns Ticketmaster.

<h3>Comparing Live Nation Entertainment P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Live Nation Entertainment has a better P/E ratio of 156.03 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 41.7 of the Entertainment industry. Ideally, one might believe that Live Nation Entertainment Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732824016_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

P/E Ratio Insights for Live Nation Entertainment

The value of global music copyright surged to $45.5 billion in 2023, marking an 11% increase from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/business-of-music">previous year.</a>
This reflects the growing economic strength of music rights, which were valued at $25 billion in 2014. If current trends continue, music copyright could double in value over a decade.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Record Labels And Streaming: Key Drivers Of Growth</h3>
According to economist Will Page&#8216;s annual industry report (<a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/global-music-copyright-value-worth-2023-will-page/">via </a>Billboard), record labels accounted for the largest share of the music copyright market, generating $28.5 billion in 2023—a 21% year-over-year increase.

Streaming continued to dominate revenue sources, with a 10.4% growth rate. Physical music sales also performed strongly, as vinyl sales rose 15.4%, outpacing CDs in many regions. Page predicted vinyl could become a $3 billion industry by 2028, driven by higher unit prices and global demand.
Major publicly traded record labels such as Universal Music Group NV (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMGNF#OTC">UMGNF</a>), Warner Music Group Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMG#NASDAQ">WMG</a>), and Sony Group Corp&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) Sony Music Entertainment were among the primary beneficiaries of these trends. 
UMG, for instance, reported $3.2 billion in Q3 2024 revenue, showing strong performance fueled by streaming and physical sales.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Shifting Dynamics In Songwriter Royalties</h3>
Moreover, collective management organizations (CMOs), which collect royalties on behalf of songwriters and publishers, saw revenues rise by 11% to $12.9 billion in 2023. Digital collections from CMOs have now surpassed those from broadcast and radio, reflecting the dominance of streaming platforms over traditional media.
However, publishers are increasingly turning to direct licensing agreements, bypassing CMOs to avoid administrative delays and fees. 
"A song that spikes in mid-March, for example, takes 201 days to pay the artist and 383 days to pay the songwriter," Page explained. These delays can erode a third of songwriter revenue due to transaction costs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Music Surpasses Cinema</h3>
The music industry's recovery following the pandemic has enabled it to overtake cinema in terms of economic output. In 2023, music was 38% larger than cinema, a stark contrast to 2019 when cinema led by 33%. 
Music copyright figures reflect trade revenue that benefits rights holders, while cinema's $33.2 billion box office revenues are divided between distribution and production.
Companies like Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>), which operate in recorded music and live performance sectors, have capitalized on this momentum.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Streaming&#8217;s Global Trade Advantage</h3>
Streaming platforms have created new opportunities for artists from regions with lower royalty rates. North America and Europe, which account for 80% of streaming revenue growth, provide significantly higher payouts compared to Latin America and Asia. 
For example, Colombian artists like J. Balvin and Shakira earned nearly $100 million from U.S. streams in 2023, six times what they would have generated in their home country.
Publicly traded streaming platforms such as Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) and Tencent Music Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TME#NYSE">TME</a>) play a crucial role in this dynamic. Spotify benefits from premium subscription revenues in high-value markets, while Tencent Music caters to large audiences in Asia with a range of streaming and social entertainment services.

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated with a confirmation from ValueAct Holdings.
ValueAct Holdings, L.P. reported holdings worth $3.9 billion in the September quarter after it disclosed major changes in its 13F filing for the third quarter of current fiscal. 
What Happened: One of the major changes in its holdings during Q3 was the addition of 211,500 shares of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) for $121.07 million, representing 3.08% of its total portfolio.
ValueAct Holdings is a hedge fund popularly known for its activist strategies, run by chief executive officer, Mason Morfit. An activist hedge fund usually follows an event-driven strategy and acquires sufficient equity to influence a company's policies, to increase company value. ValueAct has a long history of investing in technology companies and is generally considered to be more constructivist and collaborative than other activist funds.
A ValueAct spokesperson confirmed to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a> that the firm has built a $1 billion stake in Meta.
In 2022, Brad Gerstner&#8216;s Altimeter Capital targeted Meta, urging the company to reduce its workforce. Gerstner articulated his concerns in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/10/29380959/meta-investor-proposes-curb-on-employees-strength-metaverse-spending">a letter titled &#8220;Time to Get Fit.</a>
ValueAct fund's specific intentions remain unclear, but CEO Morfit is reportedly supportive of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s strategic focus on advancing artificial intelligence initiatives, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/12/activist-valueact-has-1-billion-stake-in-meta-sources-say.html">according</a> to CNBC.
Why It Matters: According to its Q3 <a href="https://13f.info/13f/000141881224000021/compare/000141881224000017">13F filing</a>, ValueAct has acquired a passive stake in the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, namely, Meta. It is one of the largest companies to be targeted by an activist investor, with a market cap of nearly $1.5 trillion. The hedge fund also increased its investment in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/01/36471982/disney-partners-with-valueact-capital-for-strategic-counsel-in-anticipation-of-2024-shareholder-meet">The Walt Disney Co</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) by adding 1.33 million shares taking its total value to $718.04 million in ValueAct&#8217;s portfolio.

Other Key Changes To The Portfolio
Apart from adding Meta, ValueAct has made some major changes to its portfolio which consists of ten holdings. The fund has increased its stake in the American video game developer Roblox Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) by adding 7.83 million shares in Q3. It now represents 8.81% of ValueAct&#8217;s portfolio, having a total value of $448.62 million.
Live Nation Entertainment Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>), Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Liberty Media Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLYVK#NASDAQ">LLYVK</a>) are other new holdings that ValueAct has added to its portfolio.
The hedge fund also reduced 806.96 thousand shares in Expedia Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) and completely exited Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), Finserv Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FI#NYSE">FI</a>), KKR &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), New York Times Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NYT#NYSE">NYT</a>) and Flutter Entertainment PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLUT#NYSE">FLUT</a>).
