Ticket platform: Activist investor Ananym from the USA enters CTS Eventim

US activist investor Ananym Capital has taken a stake in CTS Eventim, a German ticketing and concert organizer. Ananym co-founder Charlie Penner said on Tuesday that CTS Eventim is undervalued with a market capitalization of almost six billion euros and sees potential for a 50-100% increase in the stock price. Penner called for a larger share buyback to restore investor confidence and plans to push for more transparency about CTS Eventim's business model.

The company's shares have fallen nearly 50% from their May 2025 high amid concerns over its forecast for the current year and recent management changes.
