Why the Spotify Weekly Options Trade was Executed?

Spotify Technology SA (NYSE: SPOT) has released its earnings report for the first quarter of 2023 and the headline figure is the number of users the company has. As of March 31st, 515 million people were using the audio streaming service. That's the first time Spotify has had more than half a billion users.

Q1 was also Spotify's second-biggest quarter for user growth to date — its audience increased by five percent from the previous quarter and 22 percent year over year. The user base grew by 26 million, which is 15 million more than Spotify had expected. The company said it saw growth in both developed and developing markets, as well as almost every age group.

About Spotify Technology.....

The Premium segment provides subscribers with unlimited online and offline high-quality streaming access of music and podcasts on computers, tablets, and mobile devices.

Further Catalysts for the SPOTIFY Weekly Options Trade…..

Overall, Spotify posted a net operating loss of €156 million ($172 million) for the quarter. That's far more than the €6 million ($6.6 million) loss it saw in the first quarter of 2022, though it's an improvement over the €270 million ($297 million) Spotify lost the previous quarter.

While overall revenue was up by 14 percent year over year from €2.66 billion ($2.93 billion) to €3.04 billion ($3.34 billion), it dipped by four percent from the previous quarter. Revenue from paid subscribers didn't change significantly from Q4 2022, but it dropped by 27 percent on the ad-supported side from €449 million ($494 million) to €329 million ($362 million) — though revenue from free users rose by 17 percent year over year. The quarter-to-quarter drop is perhaps a result of advertisers tightening their belts somewhat, leading to lower ad spend.

Advertisers aren't the only businesses trying to rein in costs. Spotify, like many other major tech companies in recent months, has laid off a sizable proportion of its staff. In January, the company laid off six percent of workers, which equates to around 600 people based on the 9,800 that Spotify employed as of the end of 2022.

Additionally, Spotify seems to be placing a bigger focus on the core parts of its business. It recently announced plans to shut down both its live audio app, Spotify Live, and Heardle, the Wordle-style song-guessing game it bought last summer.

Subscription Plan.....

Spotify once again decided not to raise prices on its U.S. subscription plan, despite recent hikes at Apple Music (AAPL) and YouTube Premium (GOOGL) — but CEO Daniel Ek hinted an increase could come at some point this year.

"We'd like to raise prices in 2023," the executive said on the company's Q1 earnings call, but cautioned that decision will largely revolve around ongoing negotiations with label partners.

The executive said the music streaming giant raised prices last year in 46 different markets, which continued to outperform despite the increase.

"When the timing is right, we will raise it and that price increase will go down well because we're delivering a lot of value for our customers," he added.

Analysts.....

Analysts largely expect Spotify to announce higher subscription fees in the coming months given its recent profitability push.

According to the issued ratings of 22 analysts in the last year, the consensus rating for Spotify Technology stock is Moderate Buy based on the current 7 hold ratings and 15 buy ratings for SPOT. The average twelve-month price prediction for Spotify Technology is $139.67 with a high price target of $180.00 and a low price target of $95.00.

Summary.....

The company reiterated its guidance of gross margins between 30% to 35% over the long term amid plans to further scale its podcasting and ads business.

Overall, Ek said the company is "really trying to focus on how can we optimize for growth," adding there are many ways to achieve growth in the near-term, besides just increasing prices.

"We have many tools at our disposal as we're thinking about how to increase growth," he said, referencing more runway for premium subscribers and average revenue per user. "The industry realizes that, and our label partners realizes that as well. That's the constant dialogue we are in."

Spotify Technology has a market capitalization of $25.21 billion, a PE ratio of -43.29 and a beta of 1.76. Spotify Technology S.A. has a 12-month low of $69.29 and a 12-month high of $136.73. The business’s 50 day simple moving average is $127.47 and its 200-day simple moving average is $101.11.
