  • Nearly 100% increase from March 2024

The recent decline follows a period of rapid growth driven by the company's increased focus on profitability and premium offerings. Despite the correction, analysts remain optimistic, with JPMorgan setting a target price of $730, while Redburn Atlantic projects $545.

  • Eve Konstan (Former General Counsel): Sold 777 shares for $481,740 (March 3)
  • Daniel Ek (CEO): Sold 50,000 shares for $29.21 million (March 5)

Market observers suggest this correction might continue as investors focus on sustainable profitability metrics. Spotify's shift away from aggressive acquisitions toward sustainable growth and consistent subscriber gains appears to be key for maintaining investor confidence.
