Live Music Stocks Lag Market Rally: Weekly Recap 4.7–11.25
This past week, U.S. equity markets rebounded sharply from recent volatility, driven by easing trade tensions and positive earnings reports. But, live music and entertainment stocks underperformed relative to the broader market.
The underperformance by live music stocks appears driven by concerns over how growing consumer concerns or even recession could slow ticket sales.
