Liberty Media reported third-quarter 2026 results with higher revenue, operating income and Adjusted OIBDA than in the same quarter of 2025, helped by one more Formula 1 race.

The company also said its exchange of Dr. John Malone's high-vote Series B shares closed on November 4, reducing his voting power to about 3%.
