Wall Street analysts assign Spotify a consensus price target implying roughly 32.1% upside from current levels. This view is supported by a breakdown of 34 research firms, including two Strong Buy, twenty-three Buy and nine Hold ratings, which together yield an average target of $760.23. Notably, Citigroup and Cantor Fitzgerald each recently lifted their objectives by $35 and $35 respectively, while Pivotal trimmed its target by $25. Despite mixed historical efficacy of price targets, the recent cluster of upward earnings estimate revisions suggests the company could outperform near-term expectations.

During the third quarter, Abacus FCF Advisors reduced its Spotify stake by 11.5%, selling 3,468 shares to hold 26,735 shares worth $18.66 million, making it the fund’s 10th largest position.

In its latest quarterly report, Spotify delivered $3.83 in earnings per share, exceeding consensus estimates by $1.96, and generated $5.01 billion in revenue, surpassing the $4.23 billion consensus and marking a 7.1% year-over-year increase. The company achieved a return on equity of 21.68% and a net margin of 8.46%. Analysts now forecast full-year EPS of 10.3, reflecting confidence that Spotify’s investment in content expansion and improving monetization will sustain its revenue growth trajectory.
