How to buy and short Endeavor shares
Endeavor Group Holdings, a holding company for several talent and media agencies, onboarded Elon Musk as a board member ahead of its 2021 IPO. Read on to discover how to buy and own, or trade, Endeavor shares.
How to buy Endeavor shares: investing or trading
You can buy Endeavor shares through outright investing in the stock, which gives you direct ownership, or you can trade the company’s shares by speculating on its price movements without having to own the underlying.
Investing in Endeavor shares
Investing in Endeavor's shares means that you become its owner. As a shareholder you’ll have voting rights and be eligible to receive dividends, if the company offers them.
Buying Endeavor shares outright means that you need to commit the full investment value upfront. The share price can swing in either direction, so you may get back a lesser amount than your initial outlay – but your maximum potential losses can’t exceed your total investment amount (excluding additional fees).
You can profit if Endeavor happens to offer dividends or if you sell your shares at an increased share price (compared to the one you bought them at), or both.
Trading Endeavor stock
Trading Endeavor stock means that you’re taking a position on the company’s share price, whether it’ll rise or fall, without having direct ownership of the underlying. You’d ‘buy’ (go long) if you think that the share price will rise and you’d ‘sell’ (go short) if your prediction is that it’ll fall.

How to short Endeavor shares
You can short Endeavor shares via CFD trading with us. Short-selling means that you’re taking a ‘selling’ position (going short) on a company’s shares in an effort to make a profit from a falling share price.
With us, you can short-sell in these steps:
- Create an account or log in
- Search for ‘Endeavor’ on our platform
- Select ‘sell’ in the deal ticket
- Choose your position size
- Open and monitor your position
Naturally, the share price could go either way – therefore, you’d incur a loss if it rises when you’re short-selling. But if your prediction that it’ll fall is correct, you’d make a profit.
As you’d be using CFDs when short-selling, you’d be trading with leverage. So, you’d need to commit an initial deposit to get full exposure to your selected position size of Endeavor shares. But remember, when trading with leverage, both possible profits and losses are increased to the full value of your trade.
