UMG Scores a Win in New Deal; Spotify's Outlook Less Certain -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
2025/01/28

1308 ET - Spotify and Universal Music Group's new streaming licensing agreement is a win for UMG, TD Cowen analysts say, but the outlook for Spotify is cloudier. Analysts Doug Creutz and Mei Lun Quach say the deal supports UMG's guidance for high-single-digit streaming revenue growth in the next five years. The agreement lacks public details, but the analysts say it could lead to new Spotify product offerings like a "super-premium tier" that are in line with UMG's pricing goals. Spotify's growth, meanwhile, may hinge less on the price of music and more on other audio services--so the deal offers less insight into the company's outlook. UMG shares are up 7%, while Spotify shares are fairly steady. (owen.tucker-smith@wsj.com)
