Spotify Technology

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Spotify Technology S.A., together with its subsidiaries, provides audio streaming subscription services worldwide and has a market cap of approximately $68.71 billion.

Operations: Spotify generates revenue primarily through its Premium subscription service (€12.68 billion) and Ad-Supported segment (€1.79 billion), offering a diverse range of audio streaming options globally.

Spotify Technology has pivoted impressively, with a recent expansion into video content through partnerships, like the one with Cineverse Corp., enhancing its platform's diversity. This strategic move capitalizes on its substantial user base—over 170 million engaged in video podcasts—potentially reshaping content consumption norms. Financially, Spotify's transformation is underscored by a robust revenue upswing to €3.8 billion in Q2 2024 from €3.2 billion the previous year and a swing to net profits of €274 million from a loss of €302 million. Moreover, R&D investments remain aggressive, aligning with an expected earnings growth of 30% annually and maintaining innovation at the core of its strategy despite no new shares repurchased this quarter under its ongoing buyback plan.
