Sirius XM Holdings

Sirius XM operates almost exclusively in the US through its SiriusXM and Pandora audio services. SiriusXM is primarily a satellite radio service that offers nationwide coverage and mostly ad-free listening, with proprietary channels and exclusive content. It makes agreements with automakers to install its radios in vehicles and give trial services to vehicle buyers, which have traditionally fed its subscriber base. The company provides the service through a handful of geostationary satellites that it owns and operates; it now offers a streaming SiriusXM option as well. Pandora, which makes up a much smaller portion of revenue and profit, offers a subscription and ad-supported streaming music service that competes with industry giants like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.

Shares of companies within the broader communication services sector are trading lower as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

Sirius XM shares are trading higher after Seaport Global upgraded the stock from Neutral to Buy and announced a $27 price target.

Sirius XM Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIRI#NASDAQ">SIRI</a>) has a stable business model that is based on recurring subscription revenues, which makes it a "recession-resistant port in the tariff storm," according to Seaport Research Partners
The Sirius XM Holdings Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58f614b60bd9910001a77adf/david-joyce">Analyst David Joyce</a> upgraded the rating from Neutral to Buy, while keeping the price target unchanged at $27.
The Sirius XM Holdings Thesis: The company's business model makes subscribers "sticky" and its recurring subscription revenues are 100% US, Joyce said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Sirius XM Holdings is likely to generate around 13% growth in free cash flows this year and the next, he added.
"We believe any tariff impacts on car sales would have a de minimis impact on 2025 operations (as it would generally take at least a quarter for a gross addition to turn into revenue post-conversion)," the analyst wrote.
The company faces a soft ad environment, with ad budgets continuing to shift to digital video. However, only around 20% of its revenue has exposed to advertising, Joyce stated.
Given its healthy free cash flow growth, Sirius XM Holdings is likely to continue offering a "telco-like 5% dividend yield," he added.
SIRI Price Action: Shares of Sirius XM Holdings had risen by 3.62% to $20.04 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

This Apple Analyst Is No Longer Bearish; Here Are Top 5 Upgrades For Wednesday

Seaport Global analyst David Joyce upgrades Sirius XM Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIRI#NASDAQ">SIRI</a>) from Neutral to Buy and announces $27 price target.

Seaport Global Upgrades Sirius XM Holdings to Buy, Announces $27 Price Target

On Friday, BofA analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich reiterated an Underperform on Sirius XM Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIRI#NASDAQ">SIRI</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SIRI/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $21</a>.
Sirius XM is focused on overcoming several near-term challenges, some within and some outside of its control, as well as a period of elevated capex and leverage, with the aim of generating $1.5 billion in free cash flow for 2027.
Subscriber churn has stayed historically low in recent years, and Sirius XM has been focused on new pricing and packaging offers to improve value further.

Meanwhile, one-time headwinds will pressure subscribers in 2025. Notably, auto tariffs may not have a significant impact as Sirius XM&#8217;s trial funnel now includes ~50% used cars and is seeing expanded penetration of EVs.
While still early, Reif Ehrlich noted the recently introduced price increase has been well received and is not driving elevated churn above the normal course.
Reif Ehrlich noted that general economic uncertainty and concerns around the consumer have impacted advertising sales (with CPG, retail, and travel softening).
Specifically, January advertising sales appeared stable, with softness emerging in late February and March, although programmatic has seen typical end-of-quarter strengthening.
Sirius XM&#8217;s podcasting portfolio will help reduce the impact of possible broader advertising weakness. Sirius XM is making considerable effort to re-ignite subgrowth, including utilizing new pricing/packaging as a retention tool.
Additionally, Sirius XM is introducing a post-trial extension tied to recently launched new price points, which improves onboarding and pricing transparency. Later this year, Sirius XM will introduce a lower-priced subscription package containing advertising.
The current 40-channel free access offering being trialed with some OEMs will likely continue as it provides an opportunity to upsell and offers some advertising upside. Each of these efforts is also being utilized to reduce promotional discounting.
For the first quarter, Reif Ehrlich maintained her revenue and EBITDA estimates of $2.05 billion and $606 million, respectively. The analyst increased the first-quarter capex to $205 million (versus $174 million). As a result, the new first-quarter free cash flow estimate is $100 million, although her full-year 2025 free cash flow of $1.149 billion remains in line with company guidance of ~$1.15 billion.
Financially, for 2025, Reif Ehrlich now forecasts revenue of ~$8.5 billion (versus $8.523 billion previously). The new EBITDA forecast is $2.608 billion (versus $2.627 billion) due mainly to the reduction in Pandora advertising.
Price Action: SIRI stock is down 5.42% at $22.53 at the last check on Friday.

Reiteration

SiriusXM Bearish Analyst Highlights Key Near Term Challenges

JPMorgan analyst Sebastiano Petti reiterated the Underweight rating on SiriusXM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIRI#NASDAQ">SIRI</a>) on Tuesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SIRI/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $20.</a>
The analyst suggests that SiriusXM&#8217;s shares are underperforming due to growth challenges driven by demographic changes, a shift toward lower-priced plans and a revamped pricing strategy. These are expected to lead to near-term ARPU &#8220;dilution&#8221; and margin compression.
Petti has revised Pandora&#8217;s ad-supported revenue downward by 2.5%, now expecting it to reach $351 million. This adjustment follows a warning from CFO Thomas D. Barry in early March about weaker retail and consumer packaged goods advertising spend, driven by economic uncertainty and reduced business confidence.
As a result, the analyst has reduced the revenue forecast for the Pandora segment by 3%.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/03/44474850/chinas-deepseek-ups-the-heat-in-openai-rivalry-upgrades-v3-model-improving-coding-and-reasoning-capability" rel="noreferrer noopener">China&#8217;s DeepSeek Ups The Heat In OpenAI Rivalry, Upgrades V3 Model Improving Coding And Reasoning Capability</a>
Despite cost-cutting efforts, the company&#8217;s elevated capital expenditures in the near-to-medium term, combined with increased leverage from its, Liberty Sirius acquisition, will likely delay share repurchases until 2027, further weighing on the stock, according to Petti.
The analyst has revised its estimates for SiriusXM following recent management conference appearances.
Petti writes that first-quarter revenue is adjusted to $2.05 billion, reflecting a 0.6% decline due to lower advertising revenue, particularly in retail and consumer packaged goods, amid macroeconomic uncertainty, though subscriber revenue remains unchanged.
However, the first quarter EBITDA is raised to $580 million, benefiting from improved margins through SG&amp;A cost-cutting and reduced streaming marketing expenses.
The analyst also updated the first quarter free cash flow to $123 million, driven by higher EBITDA, with capital expenditures largely unchanged. For the full year, consolidated revenue is trimmed to $8.50 billion with an EBITDA estimate of $2.60 billion, aligning with the company&#8217;s guidance of $8.5 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively.
The analyst emphasizes the need to monitor advertising trends and ARPU developments, especially as SiriusXM introduces its new $9.99 modular pricing.
Free cash flow for 2025 remains unchanged at $1.15 billion, in line with prior guidance, the analyst notes.
Price Action: SIRI shares are trading higher by 0.94% to $24.18 at last check Tuesday.

SiriusXM Faces Headwinds From Pricing Shift, Ad Weakness, Says JPMorgan

Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

What Happened: According to Form-4 filed by Berkshire with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Feb. 3, 2025, the company disclosed its ownership in Sirius with 119,776,692 shares. This represents an over 30% stake in Sirius.
Dave Gretta, a business system analyst at the Hut Group and the author of &#8216;Across The Street From Wall Street&#8217; in an X post said, &#8220;No idea why he bought this stock.&#8221; Gretta added that the stock pays a dividend but the investors are better off investing in Treasury bills with higher returns.

The company has a modest dividend yield of 4.20% with a market capitalization of $8.759 billion, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>. Further, Sirius is valued at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 8.446 as compared to the industry average of 25.750, which makes it over three times less expensive than its peers.
However, Benzinga Pro data suggests that the shares of the company slumped by 58.46% in 2024 and it has fallen by 48.60% over the last year.

Why It Matters: Apart from the decline in 2024, the 18 analysts tracking the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SIRI/analyst-ratings">according to Benzinga</a> have a consensus &#8216;hold&#8217; rating on the stock.
Most recently, Rosenblatt cut the company&#8217;s target price from $29 to $24 per share on Feb. 3 maintaining a &#8216;neutral&#8217; rating, whereas Barrington Research slashed the price from $30 to $28 apiece on Jan. 31, with an &#8216;outperform&#8217; rating.
According to a report <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/sirius-xm-price-target-lowered-to-28-from-30-at-barrington-1034296693">by</a> Markets Insider, Barrington Research believes that leverage remains manageable despite increasing after the Liberty transaction. Strong cash flow is expected to support debt reduction and increased capital returns. 
Guggenheim lowered its price target to $29 from $30, maintaining a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating on Jan. 31, as reported <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/guggenheim-cuts-siriusxm-target-to-29-maintains-buy-rating-93CH-3837323">by</a> Investing.com.

<h3>About Sirius XM Holdings</h3>
Sirius XM operates almost exclusively in the US through its SiriusXM and Pandora audio services. SiriusXM is primarily a satellite radio service, which offers nationwide coverage and mostly ad-free listening, with proprietary channels and exclusive content. It makes agreements with automakers to install its radios in vehicles and give trial services to vehicle buyers, which have traditionally fed its subscriber base. The company operates the service through a handful of geostationary satellites that it owns and operates, but it now offers a streaming SiriusXM option as well. Pandora, which makes up a much smaller portion of revenue and profit, offers a subscription and ad-supported streaming music service that competes with industry giants like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.

Spotlight on Sirius XM Holdings: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) CEO Warren Buffett was able to once again beat the performance of the S&amp;P 500 in 2024, which came as he sold shares of several of his larger positions and added to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/42832123/warren-buffett-beats-sp-500-in-2024-how-oracle-of-omahas-returns-compare-over-past-20-years"> his cash balance.</a>
Buffett isn't buying much, but one stock continues to catch his attention.
What Happened: Buffett has invested <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40652464/warren-buffett-celebrates-94th-birthday-with-1-trillion-market-cap-milestone-a-look-back-at-hig">in value stocks </a>over the years, preferring this method of investing in companies trading below their value over investing in unprofitable growth stocks.
This might explain why Buffett could be the reason Berkshire Hathaway is scooping up more shares of satellite radio company Sirius XM Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIRI#NASDAQ">SIRI</a>).
A new SEC <a href="https://investor.siriusxm.com/sec-filings/all-sec-filings##document-6883-0000950170-25-012600-2">filing </a>showed Berkshire Hathaway purchased 2,308,119 shares for around $54 million from Jan. 30 through Feb. 3.
The purchases came after Sirius XM Holdings reported fourth-quarter financial results that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43345721/sirius-xm-q4-earnings-beats-estimates-ceo-highlights-focus-on-in-car-subscriptions-ad-supported-growth">beat analyst estimates.</a>
Berkshire Hathaway now owns 119,776,692 Sirius XM shares — around 35.4% of the company, as reported by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/02/04/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-scoops-up-more-sirius-xm-boosting-stake-to-35percent.html">CNBC</a>.
The firm first bought Liberty Media stocks in 2016. It later added to its Sirius XM-specific stake in 2024 as Liberty underwent changes to its public holding companies.
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43419547/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-52">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Buffett has not publicly commented on Sirius XM Holdings. It&#8217;s also unclear whether it&#8217;s him or another Berkshire investor buying the shares.
Berkshire Hathaway also added Sirius XM shares in December. The move came as the Buffett-led conglomerate held its cash and sat on the sidelines of the stock market.
Sirius XM stock is down 52% over the last year. This could make the stock a value play with the right financials.
During the fourth-quarter results, Sirius XM CEO Jennifer Witz put an emphasis on the company prioritizing its in-car subscription business, leveraging streaming capabilities and growing its ad-supported audio.
The company currently trades with a price-to-earnings ratio of 7.03x and has a price-to-sales ratio of 0.96x, both considered cheap for value stocks.
Investors are eagerly awaiting public comments from Buffett on why Berkshire Hathaway is a big buy from the company. Until then, investors may just have to invest alongside the Oracle of Omaha or take a wait and see approach.
Price Action: Sirius XM Holdings stock trades at $24.62 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $20.47 to $51.80.
