Liberty Media tracking stocks: comparing Formula One, Liberty Live, and Atlanta Braves

Liberty Media's tracking stocks cover Formula 1 (FWONA, FWONK), Liberty Live (LLYVA, LLYVK), and Atlanta Braves (BATRA, BATRK). Formula 1 reported $3.65B revenue in 2024, with FWONK trading at a premium due to higher liquidity. Liberty Live tracks Live Nation, with Q2 earnings expected to show recovery. Atlanta Braves have the highest YTD returns but also the highest valuation risk. Analysts and fair value models disagree on valuations.
