Pro Investor Academy research

Research data through Oct 28, 2026. Research is updated periodically, not in real time.

Quality

41

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 41 of 100, in the weaker band of the covered universe. This is a research reading about business durability, not a view on the share price.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

—

Not currently available

Not currently available. Pro Investor Academy holds no current Fundamental Momentum measurement for this company.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Strong

80

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 80 of 100, recorded as strong. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has been reduced at about 1.4% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

The "Company," "Live Ventures", "Live", "we," "our," and "us" are used interchangeably to refer to Live Ventures Incorporated and its subsidiaries, as appropriate in the context.

Live Ventures Incorporated (Nasdaq: LIVE) is a diversified holding company with a strategic focus on value-oriented acquisitions of domestic middle-market companies. Live Ventures’ acquisition strategy is industry agnostic and focuses on well-run, closely held businesses with a demonstrated track record of earnings growth and cash flow generation. The Company looks for opportunities to partner with management to build increased stockholder value through a disciplined buy-build-hold, long-term focused strategy. Live Ventures was founded in 1968 and later refocused under our Chief Executive Officer and strategic investor, Jon Isaac. The Company’s current portfolio of diversified operating subsidiaries includes companies in the textile, flooring, tools, steel, and entertainment industries.

Live's operating businesses are managed on a decentralized basis. There are no centralized or integrated business functions (such as sales, marketing, purchasing, or human resources) and there is minimal involvement by the Company’s corporate headquarters staff in the day-to-day business activities of our operating businesses. Live Ventures’ corporate management is ultimately responsible for significant capital allocation decisions, investment activities, and the selection of a Chief Executive Officer to head each of Live's operating businesses. Live's corporate management team is also responsible for establishing and monitoring Live Ventures’ corporate governance practices, monitoring governance efforts, including those at the operating businesses, and participating in the resolution of governance-related issues, as needed.

On our website, anyone can obtain, free of charge, this year's and prior year's Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all of our other filings with the SEC.
