Analysis

Up 13.79% with sentiment at only 0.20 — Live Nation is the most hated profitable company in entertainment. C=50, B=75, and the DOJ lawsuit is apparently just a line item. The business is essentially a utility with a Ticketmaster logo and a monopoly on where you want to be on a Friday night.
