Liberty Media Corporation has reported a robust performance in its second quarter of 2025, driven by key strategic moves and record-setting media ventures.
The company posted revenue of $1.341 billion, up 14% year-over-year, with operating income of $280 million. A standout performer was the Formula One Group, which recorded a 41% increase in total revenue compared to the same period last year.
Major Quarter Highlights
- MotoGP Acquisition – In early July, Liberty Media completed its purchase of an 84% stake in MotoGP, marking a significant expansion of its motorsports portfolio. The company plans to leverage the brand’s global appeal and accelerate its commercial growth.
- PepsiCo Partnership – The new collaboration makes PepsiCo an official partner of MotoGP, boosting its sponsorship reach and aligning the championship with one of the world’s most recognisable brands.
- ‘F1 The Movie’ Success – The global release of F1 The Movie became the highest-grossing Apple film to date, contributing mid-teens millions in revenue and adding cultural momentum to the Formula One brand.
Strategic Growth Outlook
Management has expressed confidence in the company’s growth path, with plans to expand MotoGP’s commercial capabilities and broaden its global footprint. The company is targeting a 3–4x leverage ratio for MotoGP by 2026, supported by an impressive 13% revenue CAGR over the past five years.
Despite a 3.03% dip in Liberty Media Formula One Corp A shares to $89.16 after the earnings announcement, analysts’ price targets remain optimistic, ranging from $99 to $110.
Looking ahead, Liberty Media is also preparing for the Liberty Live split-off in Q4 2025, with Chad Hollingsworth set to take the role of CEO for Liberty Live Holdings.
Investor Considerations
While the latest earnings exceeded market expectations, the immediate stock movement will depend on future guidance and updates from management. Investors will be watching closely for insights on MotoGP integration, Formula One expansion, and broader media strategies over the coming quarters.
