Morgan Stanley Starts StubHub Holdings (STUB) at Equalweight
Morgan Stanley analyst Cameron Mansson-Perrone initiates coverage on StubHub Holdings (NYSE: STUB) with a Equalweight rating and a price target of $8.25.
The analyst comments: "We initiate at EW with a $8.25 PT, implying healthy ~15% upside, but see a particularly wide risk/reward to shares over the next 12 months and risk to medium term consensus estimates. We note that StubHub shares have been pressured since going public in late-'25, and consensus has come down materially. Our PT implies shares trade at ~12.5x fwd. EBITDA (MS-defined) and ~14x fwd. FCF (fully-taxed), appropriate relative to comps given our growth expectations , and supported by our ~$8.30 DCF derived analysis .
Our outlook for StubHub's revenue and earnings growth in this report, underpinning our EW, is predicated on two considerations: 1. A constructive view toward industry growth in secondary ticketing and StubHub's ability to gradually grow share from here. 2. Balanced against a view that the secondary market remains fragmented and highly competitive, limiting take rate and the pace of sustained profitability improvement."
