Morgan Stanley analyst Benjamin Swinburne upgraded shares of Liberty Formula One from Equal-weight to Overweight and increased the price target for $39 to $47.
The Thesis
Liberty Formula One's revenues, EBITDA and FCF growth are likely to accelerate after a flat-to-down 2017, Swinburne said in a Tuesday note. (See the analyst's track record here.)
F1-adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow about 40 percent from 2017 to 2020 in Morgan Stanley's base case scenario.
Even higher media revenue, including a soon-to-be-launched OTT network, and a faster ramp in sponsorship revenues could lead to 55-percent growth in F1-adjusted EBITDA from 2017-2020 in Swinburne's bull case, he said.

Though the shares of Liberty Formula One are up over 20 percent since 2016, excluding its 34-percent interest in Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV), Swinburne said the F1 stub is up less than 5 percent.
Citing more new TV contacts that it had projected, Morgan Stanley raised its average annual value increase in all but one market from 1.3 to 1.3-1.8 times. On a consolidated basis, the firm hiked its 2018 and 2019 Liberty Formula One Group EBITDA by 3-4 percent.
"We see consolidated margins expanding modestly (150-200 bp) from 2017 to 2020, but the structure of team payments (variable with pre-team EBITDA) limits the upside from incremental revenue," Swinburne said.
The Price Action
Over the past year, Liberty Formula One shares have added over 21 percent.
