# Weekly Recap | Mixed Martial Arts -3.5%, paying academies up 260%

## The Week

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) closed the week at $0.4439, down 3.5% from $0.46 the prior Friday. The S&P 500 rose 0.09%, so the stock lagged by roughly 3.59 percentage points. Trading was choppy: Monday spiked to $0.4685, Tuesday slid to $0.4146, and the remaining three sessions clawed back to end the week at $0.4439, with a full-week range of 12.22%.

## Key Events

The company spent the week laying out its commercialisation story in a series of investor materials. On Tuesday morning, a new corporate presentation highlighted 260% growth in paying academies; that evening management described plans to monetise the combat sports participation platform through gyms, payments, and the XP Passport. A Wednesday presentation repeated the XP Passport framework, signalling a coordinated push to explain the model.

## Analyst Ratings

A single broker covers the stock with a strong buy rating, making the consensus rating strong buy. The consensus target price is $6.9969, which sits 1,476.2% above the latest price. The target data was last updated on 28 May 2024, and no industry ranking is available.

## The Week Ahead

Tuesday brings the US NFIB small business optimism index, with a prior reading of 99.8. Thursday is heavier on macro data, including initial jobless claims, final demand PPI, and existing home sales. The company has not announced an earnings date this week, so the next catalyst will be follow-through on the participation platform rollout.

## In Short

The week paired a falling share price with a rising volume of corporate storytelling. Valuation remains high at 5.38 times book, and the latest trading day’s money flow tilted toward outflows in medium-sized orders. The open question is whether the paying academy growth and XP Passport momentum can support the current price, or whether the stock continues to consolidate.
