-- 瑞銀證券週二在一份報告中指出，隨著贊助勢頭持續強勁、利潤率不斷提升，以及修訂後的賽程對大多數收入來源的影響有限，自由方程式賽車（Liberty Formula One，股票代碼：FWONK）有望迎來又一個增長年。 瑞銀預計第一季業績將反映出這一背景，營收預計為5.9億美元，扣除折舊和攤銷前的營業利潤為1.47億美元，這主要得益於強勁的讚助需求、有利的比賽時間安排以及比去年多舉辦一場比賽。 瑞銀表示，賽事推廣收入可能受修訂後的賽程影響最大，而媒體版權收入由於最低發行量要求應能保持穩定，大多數贊助合約受到的壓力也有限。 報導稱，拉斯維加斯大獎賽的早期定價似乎與去年相近，這是一個積極的早期信號。而MotoGP的商業化仍處於起步階段，預計新的推廣協議將從2027年開始產生更大的影響。 第一季業績將於5月6日公佈。 瑞銀將Liberty股票的目標價從107美元下調至104美元，並維持「中性」評級。
