Ticketplattform: Aktivistischer Investor Ananym aus den USA steigt bei CTS Eventim ein

Ananym Capital, an anonymous activist investor from the United States, has recently joined the ticket-selling and concert-organizing company CTS Eventim. Charlie Penner, co-founder of Ananym, stated during a summit in New York that this investment could potentially be valuable for a long time. Ananym believes that CTS Eventim is significantly undervalued with a market capitalization of nearly six billion euros.

The company's share price is 44% lower than its rival Live Nation when measured by price-to-earnings ratio. Penner is expecting a 50-100% upside potential for the stock price and advocates for increased share buybacks to strengthen investor confidence. CTS Eventim, Europe's largest ticket seller, organizes events such as "Rock am Ring" and "Rock im Park" in addition to selling tickets for concerts like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, or Iron Maiden.

The stocks, listed on the MDax index, have fallen by nearly 50% from their peak in May 2025. Investors are concerned as the current year's forecast turned out to be cautious and the group recently replaced its CFO for the third time in six years. CTS Eventim made history by inviting the capital market for the first time on November 20th.

Penner sees this as an opportunity to increase transparency regarding the company's business model, clarify misunderstandings, and attract more international investors. The exact percentage of his stake in CTS Eventim was not disclosed by Ananym.
