Recent analyst activity reflects mixed sentiments about SPOT's future. JPMorgan recently increased its target price to $730, while Redburn Atlantic analyst Ed Vyvyan projects a more conservative $545 per share.

The company's shift toward profitability and higher-priced offerings has attracted investor attention, marking a departure from its previous strategy of aggressive acquisitions and substantial spending. To maintain market confidence, Spotify must continue demonstrating subscriber growth while improving its bottom line.

Notable insider trading activity includes:

  • CEO Daniel Ek: Sold 50,000 shares for $29.21 million (March 5)
  • HR head Katarina Berg: Sold 2,166 shares for $1.08 million (March 10)
  • Former general counsel Eve Konstan: Sold 777 restricted shares for $481,740 (March 3)
