Winston Score History

The full picture

TKO Group Holdings owns two of the most recognized sports entertainment brands in the world: WWE (professional wrestling) and UFC (mixed martial arts fighting). WWE produces live events and TV shows like Monday Night Raw, while UFC organizes combat sports competitions featuring fighters from around the globe. The company sells tickets, broadcasts events, and licenses its content to fans in more than 180 countries.

TKO makes money through media rights deals, live event ticket sales, sponsorships, and merchandise. Its biggest revenue driver is a landmark media rights agreement with Netflix and other broadcasters worth billions of dollars over multiple years. The company operates globally but generates most revenue in the United States, and its moat comes from owning irreplaceable live sports content that attracts large, loyal audiences. The main risk is that both WWE and UFC depend heavily on a small number of high-profile athletes and personalities to drive viewership, and losing key talent could hurt ratings and revenue.

Growth + cash flow

TKO Group Holdings is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 18%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
