TKO Group Holdings, Inc. is an American sports and sports entertainment company. Established on September 12, 2023, the public company was formed by a merger between Endeavor subsidiary Zuffa—the parent company of mixed martial arts promotion Ultimate Fighting Championship —and the professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment. TKO is led by CEO Ari Emanuel and president Mark Shapiro, both of Endeavor; Dana White and Nick Khan retained their roles as CEOs of UFC and WWE respectively upon the merger, while WWE co-founder Vince McMahon served as executive chairman until resigning from the company in January 2024 amid a sex trafficking scandal. The merger marked the first time that WWE has not been solely and primarily majority-controlled by the McMahon family, which founded the company and owned it for over 70 years. As of 2024, the UFC and WWE were the two most valuable combat sports organizations in the world according to Forbes. UFC was listed as the most valued mixed martial arts company with a revenue of $1.406 billion and WWE being the most valued professional wrestling promotion with a revenue of $1.398 billion in 2023.

TKO owns iconic properties including UFC, the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization; WWE, the global leader in sports entertainment; and PBR, the world’s premier bull riding organization. Together, these properties reach 210 countries and territories and organize more than 500 live events year-round, attracting more than three million fans.

TKO also services and partners with major sports rights holders through IMG, an industry-leading global sports marketing agency; and On Location, a global leader in premium experiential hospitality. (Credit: TKO Group)

News

September 2, 2025

Market regime change: Microsoft weakening whilst Alphabet strengthens Nvidia and OpenAI have become synonymous with the AI revolution, each offering its own breakthrough solutions. This has made Nvidia the most valuable company on the market. OpenAI remains private for now. However, the old guard of IT giants, such as Microsoft and Alphabet, are not standing on the sidelines of the AI race, although they are conducting it in different ways, which is affecting their shares differently.

Microsoft owns a stake in OpenAI, giving it access to the latest developments, but integrates them into its own programmes, including chatbots. For a long time, betting on Microsoft was an indirect bet on OpenAI with their well-known ChatGPT. This approach paid off earlier this year, as the share price recovered faster than many competitors after the April slump. From its lows at the start of April to its highs at the end of July, the stock soared 55%, already making its way to historic highs since the beginning of June.

For a long time, Alphabet shares lagged their competitor in terms of share price growth over the past five years. They were also weaker in their recovery after the April correction, adding 40% to their lows before peaking at the end of July.

However, since August, the markets have clearly shifted into a different mode, with MSFT falling 7.5% against GOOG's 13% growth. This divergence began even before the release of GPT-5, the latest model, which faced widespread criticism from users, forcing the company to revert to GPT-4, originally announced over two years ago. Negative sentiment was also fuelled by comments from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who acknowledged that the market is currently in a bubble due to inflated expectations.

Google Gemini is steadily developing and gradually gaining consumer support due to its convenient integration into the company's extensive ecosystem. This aspiration resonates with investors. It seems that market participants are seeking to diversify their bets on AI agents, creating demand for Alphabet shares at the expense of Microsoft.

September marks the end of the financial year in the US, and investors often use August and September to switch to new trends or restart existing ones. September is historically the worst month for stock indices, but it can also be a good entry point during a downturn.

It is only important to understand whether we are seeing the start of a trend reversal or a temporary correction. Signals of this should be sought in MSFT's dynamics. Technically, with the stock trading at $506, it remains within a corrective pattern as long as it stays above the $450–$470 range. The upper bound aligns with last year's peak and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the rally from the April lows to the July highs, while the lower boundary corresponds to the 200-day moving average. A break below this level would signal a deeper trend reversal.

GOOG shares are close to local overbought conditions, as the RSI on daily timeframes is approaching 75, near which the shares have experienced local corrections over the past six years. Therefore, there is a high chance that both shares will soon experience increased selling pressure; the only question is how deep this correction will be. (FxPro)

Oil

September 3

News from OPEC prevents oil prices from rising Oil came under pressure on Wednesday, losing more than 2% on reports by Bloomberg that OPEC+ plans to raise quotas again at its next meeting. Last month, the cartel removed all additional self-imposed restrictions that major producers such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Kazakhstan had taken on.

This new move is an open demonstration of the fight for market share, rather than an attempt to support prices. First and foremost, it is a fight against the US, which is actively promoting its energy through policy, imposing sanctions on oil-producing countries and including oil and gas purchases in trade deals.

If the reduction is indeed confirmed, it promises to be an impressive factor of pressure on quotations, overturning the upward price trend of the previous couple of weeks.

Earlier, oil was supported by a reduction in commercial stocks in the US and the return of risk appetite to stock markets, thanks to signals of a September rate cut.

With its reversal on Wednesday, oil confirmed the strength of resistance in the form of the 200-day moving average and the previous consolidation area. Although oil has exceeded this curve several times over the past year, it still acts as a trend resistance line.

Three attempts by Saudi Arabia and its staunch allies to switch from supporting prices to fighting for market share in 2008, 2014, and 2020 drove the price below $30, devaluing it by more than three-quarters. But in both cases, the increase in production coincided with an economic and market downturn. This is not happening now, which supports prices and allows OPEC+ to increase quotas.

However, for many countries, increasing quotas is much easier than increasing production. Countries such as Russia and Iran cannot simply sell oil and increase production due to sales restrictions and equipment limitations. This will keep prices from falling, keeping them within a downward range rather than turning into a collapse like we saw in late 2014 and early 2020. On balance, this supports our previous forecast for WTI falling to $55 by the end of September and to $50 by the end of the year, barring any economic shocks. It could also fall to the $30 range if there are risks of a looming global recession.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are racing to the top

Market Overview

The cryptocurrency market cap is updating its historical highs, reaching $4.06 trillion thanks to Bitcoin's rally since the start of the day on Monday. Altcoins are mostly staying out of this race for now, taking a break after last week's rally. This is one of the few times when a rally in major altcoins has inspired BTC to break through. It's usually the other way around.

Bitcoin is trading above $122K, testing historical highs. An important area of resistance was around $120K. For the media, it is formally important to update the highs, although from a technical point of view, the breakthrough has already been made. The bull’s nearest target now looks to be the $135-138K area.

Ethereum has gained over 21% in seven days and 45% in the last 30 days, becoming one of the beneficiaries of recent legislative changes in the United States. The second-largest cryptocurrency by capitalisation is trading near $4,300, above which it was for less than four weeks at the end of 2021, with a historic peak just above $4,800. We would not be surprised to see this figure updated in the coming days.

News Background

The market received a positive boost from Trump signing an executive order on retirement savings. The document instructs the Department of Labour to prepare conditions for adding cryptocurrencies, private equity and other alternative assets to 401(k) retirement plans.

According to Bitwise, corporate treasuries and ETFs have purchased 371,111 BTC since the beginning of the year, which is 3.75 times more than the amount mined by miners during the same period.

Retail investors have also started accumulating. According to Glassnode, wallets with a balance of up to 100 BTC purchase about 17,000 BTC monthly, which exceeds the current issuance of 13,850 BTC. The situation is exacerbated by a rapid decline in liquidity on OTC platforms, which could trigger a sharp rise in Bitcoin.

According to Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards, Bitcoin is trading 45% below its ‘energy value’ of $167,800. The indicator determines BTC's fair value as a function of the amount of energy expended, the rate of supply growth, and a constant coefficient reflecting its value in dollars.

The latest recalculation increased the difficulty of mining Bitcoin by 1.42% to 129.44 T. According to Glassnode, the BTC network's hash rate reached a record high of 1,031 ZH/s.

Ethereum is growing against the background of increased on-chain activity. The daily transaction volume on the network is updating historical highs, and the number of new addresses is approaching the historical high reached in May 2021. (FxPro)

ASX to fall, Nvidia rebounds as investors buy the sell-off - Jun 26, 2024 (The Australian Financial Review)

Nvidia suffers biggest loss in world history after $646 billion bloodbath

"This is a concern"

June 27, 2024

The AI and microchip company has lost 13 per cent in valuation in the past three days.

Nvidia stock has fallen for the third consecutive day and the company has entered the history books as a result. The AI technology and microchip giant's value has seen an incredible climb since 2023 and last week became the world's biggest and most valuable company in terms of market capitalisation.

But since then it has been an absolute bloodbath. Shares dropped 6.7 per cent in value on Monday, which takes the total three-day value drop to 13 per cent, or $646 billion (USD$430 billion).

Not only was the 6.7 per cent fall the largest single-day plummet since April, but it's also the biggest three-day value loss for any company in history, according to Bloomberg.

Even with the slump, Nvidia remains up nearly 140 per cent this year, making it the second-best performer among S&P 500 Index components, behind Super Micro Computer, another favourite AI play.

The stock suffered a drawdown of about 20 per cent earlier this year, although it quickly returned to all-time highs.

While investors have flocked to Nvidia given the sky-high demand for its chips used in AI processing, the scale of Nvidia’s rally – it soared about 240 per cent over the course of 2023 – has underlined concerns about its valuation.

The stock trades at 21 times estimated sales over the next 12 months, making it the most expensive in the S&P 500 by this measure. Still, it remains well liked on Wall Street. Nearly 90 per cent of the analysts tracked by Bloomberg recommend buying, and the average analyst price target points to an upside of about 12 per cent from current levels.

“The momentum in Nvidia and AI stocks, in general, has been staggering,” said Charlie Ashley, portfolio manager at Catalyst Funds. “In terms of investing, I would not be a contrarian right now.” (AI News, Bloomberg, Wires, Yahoo!)
