Spotify stock briefly drops to an all-time low; Is it set to plunge further?

Dino Kurbegovic

Spotify (NYSE: SPOT) plummeted 10.7% on April 27, tumbling below $100 a share and setting an all-time low as the company reported mixed profits, prompting a sell-off.

The guidance was initially seen in a positive light, but on further scrutiny, concerns regarding margin guidance was raised. The recorded operating loss was roughly $207 million.   

Revenue was in line with expectations, growing 24%, while users grew by 19%, with premium users rising by 15%. Ad-supported monthly active users that bring in revenue also grew by 21%, beating expectations. 

In particular, the company forecasts monthly active users to hit 428 million in the second quarter, including 187 million premium subscribers.

In the last few sessions, volumes have increased as the shares might break out; the positive news for investors is that the stock has climbed above $100 once again during the trading sessions on April 28.

Spotify delivered a mixed bag of results, with analysts expecting much more from a high-growth tech name. Any weakness in the current environment will most probably be punished, which was evident in the last few trading sessions. 

Luckily for investors in the last session, the stock popped over 6%; however, it is still down year-to-date, much more than anyone could have predicted at the start of the year. Investors should be wary and perhaps still stay on the sideline with the stock until global macroeconomic trends improve.
