On July 17, Spotify Technology fell 3.71% in pre-market trading to $460.24/share, with turnover of $714,500. The decline comes amid broad weakness in the Movies & Entertainment sector, with Netflix plunging 11.92% and Walt Disney down 0.7%.
On the news front, multiple Wall Street firms recently lowered their price targets on Spotify. UBS Securities adjusted its target from $735 to $690 while maintaining a Buy rating, noting that Q2 results are expected to come in largely in line with management guidance, supported by accelerating FX-neutral revenue growth and higher pricing. Wells Fargo also cut its target from $600 to $570, maintaining an Overweight rating. The mean analyst price target stands at approximately $593.92, above current trading levels.
Additionally, Spotify disclosed that it removed over 75 million AI-generated songs last year as part of enhanced platform governance efforts, as the company faces increasing volumes of machine-generated uploads that strain content moderation and royalty distribution systems.
