Endeavor Group shares spike on solid full-year revenue guidance: is it time to buy?

On Tuesday, Endeavor Group Holdings Inc. (NYSE:EDR) shares surged 9% following Monday’s upbeat topline guidance for full-year 2021. The company announced its most recent quarterly results after markets closed, beating analyst expectations on non-GAAP EPS. Its GAAP EPS and revenue for the period came short of expectations.

Endeavor’s revenue grew more than 40% from the same quarter a year ago to $1.11 billion but still fell short of the consensus Street estimate of $1.14 billion. On the other hand, its GAAP EPS of -$1.00 fell short of the average analyst expectation of $-0.52 while the non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.19 outperformed expectations by a whopping $0.16.

The company now expects to post full-year 2021 revenue in the range of $4.80 billion to $4.85 billion up from the previous guidance of $4.76 billion to $4.83 billion. Endeavor also raised full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to between $765 million and $775 million, up from $735 million and $745 million.
