TKO Group Announces US$1b Buyback Plan With Insider Buying and 26% Q1 Revenue Growth TKO Group Holdings approved a new Rule 10b5-1 share repurchase plan effective May 14, 2026, replacing a prior plan and supporting a total authorized buyback program of up to US$1b.
The new plan follows an accelerated US$800m share repurchase agreement executed in March 2026 and comes alongside reported Q1 2026 revenue growth of 26%.
Insiders, including CEO Ariel Emanuel, purchased about US$4.5m of TKO stock over the past 30 days, while the CFO also bought shares and analysts issued upgrades, even as some flagged risks tied to aggressive buybacks, leverage and valuation.
The combination of a large authorized repurchase program, the reported Q1 revenue figure and insider buying suggests management is aligning capital returns with its outlook for the UFC, WWE and IMG businesses, while also reducing the share count through buybacks.
You should also weigh the flagged risks, since higher leverage and an active repurchase pace can limit flexibility if conditions change or if the stock trades at levels that do not align with its long-run earnings power. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • May 14

New minor risk - Financial position The company has a high level of debt. Net debt to equity ratio: 45% This is considered a minor risk. Having a high level of debt increases the company's balance sheet risk. The company has a higher interest repayment burden, leading to the need to allocate a greater amount of its earnings towards servicing the debt, potentially limiting growth options or shareholder distributions. It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (45% net debt to equity). Dividend is not well covered by earnings (95% payout ratio).

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings. Payout ratio: 95% Dividend yield: 1.4% This is considered a minor risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings growth slows or earnings fall, then there may not be enough earnings to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. However, this risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by cash flows. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

Berger Montague Flies antitrust class action lawsuit against the Zuffa LLC, TKO Group Holdings, Inc., and Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc Berger Montague, filed an antitrust class action lawsuit against the Zuffa LLC, TKO Group Holdings, Inc., and Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc., the owners and operators of the Ultimate Fighting Championship ("UFC"), on behalf of professional mixed martial arts ("MMA") fighters who competed for MMA promotions other than the UFC. The named plaintiff in the suit is Phil Davis, a professional MMA fighter currently under contract with a would-be rival MMA promotion. "The suit alleges that the UFC impairs the ability of would-be UFC competitors to attract a critical mass of top-level MMA fighters necessary to compete with the UFC at the top tier of the sport," said Firm Chairman and a lead lawyer for the fighters, Eric Cramer. "We intend to prove that the UFC engaged in a predatory scheme to undermine would be competitors to the UFC, which the suit claims had the effect of maintaining and enhancing the UFC's dominance, and thereby impairing the careers and pay not just of the UFC's own fighters, but also of professional MMA fighters like Mr. Davis competing for MMA promotions across the MMA industry."The lawsuit seeks no money damages. Instead, it seeks an injunction to prevent the UFC from continuing its allegedly illegal scheme. By shutting down the UFC's allegedly anticompetitive behavior, the suit intends to create the conditions for free and fair competition among professional MMA promotions, which in turn, would bolster the careers and pay of professional MMA fighters across the sport. "I am proud to stand up for professional MMA fighters to unlock the UFC's stranglehold on the entire sport," said Phil Davis. The lawsuit seeks to build on the success of Berger Montague's class action lawsuit against the UFC, which resulted in an historic $375 million settlement for a class of over 1100 former UFC fighters, following a ten-year legal battle for economic justice. Berger Montague and Mr. Davis are committed to continuing the struggle to vindicate the rights of professional MMA fighters outside of the UFC who have been harmed by the UFC's allegedly illegal scheme.
