Celtic's transfer inactivity an unnecessary Champions League risk
Following last night's dramatic penalty shootout between Slovan Bratislava and Kairat Almaty, Celtic now face what can only be described as a nightmare trip to Kazakhstan as we aim to secure Champions League football for a fourth consecutive season. Historically, this is far from a comfort zone for us. Despite recent successes against teams from this region, Celtic have never won on Kazakh soil. Our record reads like a cautionary tale: a loss to Shakhter Karagandy in 2013, a draw with Astana in 2016, and defeat to the same club in 2017. So yes, the warning signs are there. However, despite the logistical hurdles of traveling to Kazakhstan - long flights, time zone changes and unfamiliar conditions - this is very much a tie Celtic should be winning. Champions League qualification is not just about the prestige, it's a financial gamechanger for a club like Celtic - a £40m jackpot that could bolster finances and squad depth alike. The real question is whether our current set-up is capable of seizing this opportunity. Concerns linger. The lack of key signings suggests we may be heading east with a squad not fully equipped for the challenge. Uefa's deadline to register new players is midnight on Thursday (two extra players can be added up to 24 hours before the first leg) yet, based on recent transfer activity - or more accurately, inactivity - it's hard to imagine any new faces being added in time. This approach raises eyebrows. The club appears to be taking a gamble: chasing Champions League revenue without adequately investing in the squad that could secure it. In essence, Celtic are waiting to qualify for Europe's elite competition before strengthening the team, rather than building a squad that could make qualification more likely. It's a classic chicken-and-egg scenario - and one that feels unnecessarily risky, especially given the vast cash reserves the club currently holds. Still, football is rarely predictable. A spirited performance in Kazakhstan could (and should) provide the platform to take our place at Europe's top table once again. But as history - and logistics - warn us, this is far from a guaranteed triumph. The fans, players, and club itself now face a high-stakes test - one that demands focus, determination and perhaps a little luck along the way. Tino can be found at The Celtic Exchange

TKO Group Gains After Guggenheim Lifts Price Target on UFC Media Deal
TKO Group Holdings (TKO, Financials) rose Tuesday after Guggenheim increased its price target to $205 from $200, citing the financial impact of a new UFC media rights agreement with Paramount. The target hike came the same day the stock closed at $186.02, up 10.13% over the past week. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Sign with TKO. The seven-year deal, set to begin in 2026, will see all UFC numbered events and Fight Nights stream on Paramount+, with select events simulcast on CBS. The agreement carries an annual average value of $1.1 billion, including standard escalators, and grants roughly two minutes of advertising inventory per hour for each event. Guggenheim's Curry Baker raised the firm's 2026 UFC media rights forecast to $920 million from $890 million, while increasing OIBDA estimates by $30 million. The firm noted that cash payments are weighted toward later years in the contract. The deal prompted other analyst actions. Wolfe Research boosted its target to $211, BofA Securities to $210, and Goldman Sachs to $202, all maintaining Buy ratings. UBS kept its Buy rating with a $164 target, while Morgan Stanley reiterated Equalweight at $165. Analysts pointed to higher expected free cash flow, expanded distribution, and stronger long-term fundamentals. With both its WWE and UFC contracts renewed, TKO is positioned to focus on execution, new combat sports opportunities, and potential capital returns. Investors will be watching revenue recognition timing and operational synergies from the updated agreements. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
