Liberty Media shows solid revenue growth (18.3%) but poor profitability (ROE 2.73%, ROIC 4.89%) and a very demanding valuation (P/E 116.8, EV/EBITDA 32.93) which, together with high leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA 4.52), leave it vulnerable to the rising rate environment.

Context and risks
The rise in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) affects Liberty Media as a growth holding with a high P/E (116.8) and net debt/EBITDA of 4.52, making its financing more expensive and pressuring the present value of its future cash flows. Exposure to F1, with USD revenues, mitigates currency risk.

Verdict: Hold; the quality of the assets (F1, Braves) does not justify the current multiple with a leveraged balance sheet and negative earnings growth.
Main risk: High leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA of 4.52) combined with an extreme growth valuation (P/E 116.8) exposes Liberty Media to a severe correction if rates keep rising or earnings growth does not recover.
