TKO Confirms $150 Million Dividend as UFC White House Card Loses Big
04-06-26

TKO Group Holdings has announced another $150 million dividend payout to investors, even as the company prepares to take a substantial loss on the upcoming UFC White House event.

The latest dividend, set for June 30, will pay stockholders $0.79 per share for the second quarter of 2026. It marks the second straight quarter TKO has issued roughly $150 million in dividends, following a similar payout in March.

At the same time, TKO is moving forward with the UFC White House card planned for June 14, which is expected to cost over $60 million and result in at least a $30 million loss for the company.

Looking ahead, TKO projected 2026 revenue between $5.675 billion and $5.775 billion. The company has recently reshaped its media landscape, signing a seven-year, $7.7 billion deal to move UFC broadcasts from ESPN to Paramount, with events airing on Paramount+ at no additional cost to subscribers.

TKO has also shifted WWE Monday Night Raw to Netflix and struck a deal with ESPN for WWE premium live events to air on ESPN Unlimited. In combat sports expansion, Zuffa Boxing, operated by Dana White and Nick Khan with funding from Sela, has secured broadcast deals with Paramount in the United States and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.
