Shares of Spotify Technology S.A. (SPOT) are soaring 5.01% in Thursday's intraday trading session, fueled by a bullish analyst report from Bank of America Securities. The streaming giant's stock received a significant boost after BofA raised its price target on Spotify to $900 from $700, while maintaining a Buy rating on the shares.
The substantial increase in the price target reflects growing confidence in Spotify's market position and future growth prospects. Bank of America's analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich reaffirmed her Buy rating on the stock, indicating a strong positive outlook for the company. This vote of confidence from a major financial institution appears to be driving investor enthusiasm and contributing to the stock's impressive gains.
In related news, Spotify announced that it will release its second quarter 2025 financial results on July 29, 2025, before the market opens. The upcoming earnings report may provide further insights into the company's performance and could potentially validate the optimistic stance taken by Bank of America. As Spotify continues to expand its user base, which currently stands at more than 678 million users including 268 million subscribers across 184 markets, investors will be keen to see if the company can maintain its growth trajectory and justify the increased price target.
