$SPOT notes ahead of earningsMorgan Stanley: The bullish case for Spotify's stock is partly based on the large global market for streaming music, which continues to grow, Swinburne said in a Wednesday note. (See his track record here.) Seventy-five percent of consumers ages 16-64 in 18 global markets listen to music on their phones and 57 percent pay for a streaming music platform, according to third-party data gathered by IFPI, the analyst said. More than 90 percent of consumers in markets like Mexico, Brazil and India listen to music, and these are all untapped markets for Spotify after recent global expansions in countries like Israel, Swinburne said. Spotify does have multiple challenges to overcome in entering new markets, including securing local rights in emerging markets, the analyst said. Yet emerging markets also rely less on "Big Three" label content, which offers a better long-term profit profile, he said. Aside from a geographical expansion to lift total subscribers, the bullish case for Spotify can also be justified by expectations for margin expansion, according to Morgan Stanley. The company has multiple drivers to lift gross margins in the coming years, including successful contract renewals with major labels and innovation in its free and paid product offerings, Swinburne said. Morgan Stanley's $225 price target is based on a 4-4.5 times forward revenue multiple and 15.5 forward gross profit. Both multiples represent a discount compared to Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX), according to the sell-side firm. by ParCorn3

Spotify SPOT Long-Short Idea Bullish Cup and handle pattern's target confirms bearish Three drivers pattern. by denizckizil2
LONGSpotify accounts for more than 2/3rd of the global music streaming market. Music streaming has altered the dynamics of the global music industry, also leading to a revival. While competition has been catching up with Spotify, the company has continued to grow its subscriber base. The current market cap of the company significantly exceeds the estimated value of the entire streaming market in 2030E. Excessive valuation, competition and developing threats (blockchain-based music streaming companies) do not support investment in Spotify. Spotify (SPOT) is the leading music streaming company in the global music market. Music streaming has been credited with the revival of the music industry and SPOT has been a pioneer, leading from the front. However, the company’s 2/3rd share of the streaming market has not been enough. SPOT continues to make losses due to the complexity of the industry structure and competition. In spite of that, the company’s current market cap exceeds the size of the streaming market revenue in 2030! Thus it would be prudent to avoid investments in SPOT.Longby CodedFlow3
Spotify Looking StrongWe've seen a beautiful rally with Spotify recently confirming that the bulls want to push higher. RSI is overbought on the hourly time frame so I'm expecting a bit of a correction. From there we will anticipate a breakout to confirm the Cup&Handle Pattern. Volume curve is supportive of this pattern. Targets from this pattern reach 216, with profit taking along the way. Safest way to approach this trade would to wait for a pullback and buy around the 190 mark, making sure to set a tight stop loss below the key support area. If not you can wait to see if the handle will form and go long on the breakout. ** This is not financial advise and purely educational**Longby kickflip360Updated 3
SPOT on post-IPO watch Spotify had a great IPO. I really like the company and potential for growth. I wanted to wait for the price to establish an identifiable trend of some sort before I made entry, and I think I found one. Price seems to be moving in this upward channel. Annotations are on the chart but I think its a safe assumption to assume the 50 day MA or the lower trendline will have some support. The average analyst price target for this stock is around $205, and the earnings call wasn't terrible. I might take a small position here and continue to add if I see strength.

Looking for an entry on SPOTThis is a very bullish trend with a nice consolidation pullback. I'm looking to enter on the long side with an opening bar above $185 within the next few days. Then on to test the previous high and hopefully into higher highs. If this happens I'll establish some trailing stops to protect profits. I'm not recommending a trade here but if I enter in the next few days I'll have a stop loss just below $175. Remember, profits take care of themselves, my job is to manage risk to the downside.Longby jaxdog2
