Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan maintained Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) with a Buy and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SPOT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$490&nbsp;to&nbsp;$550</a>.
Ahead of its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings report, Sheridan previewed current industry data, addressed key investor debates, and highlighted the potential financial implications of Spotify&#8217;s launch of further offerings for the creator economy (which will scale in 2025).
Since its last earnings report, Spotify stock has outperformed (+12% versus the S&amp;P 500, which remained flat over the same period), continuing a pattern of the past 12 months with Sportify shares +142% versus the S&amp;P 500 +27%.

Sheridan noted Spotify&#8217;s stock performance is anchored around a few key narratives that continue to build momentum.
Spotify is the clear global audio platform leader, which Sheridan expects to translate into elements of scaled compounded user growth, rising engagement across multiple format structures, and pricing power over the analyst&#8217;s operating forecast period.
After its late 2023 operating costs restructuring, Spotify has demonstrated sustained momentum in its gross and operating margin trajectory (against its longer-term operating guidance).
In addition, Sheridan noted that 2025 could be a year in which Spotify moves toward more consistent and sustained capital returns, marking a shift that would mirror moves made by many of its global TMT peers in the past 12-18 months.
Going into this earnings report, Sheridan noted that investors focused on management commentary on pricing and product decisions and their potential impacts on monetization, gross addition momentum, gross margin results, and trajectory, broader elements of the audio landscape.
Sheridan&#8217;s report anchors around potential payouts of ~$70 million annually or $18 million quarterly.
The collective of these announcements moves Spotify toward a more defined and multiple-format path for creator content monetization, evolves the audience growth dynamic with products like video clips and thumbnails, provides creators with deeper analytics to monitor and grow their business, elevates the discovery and experiences around video as a platform, and embraces multi-format more broadly as a platform.
Sheridan reiterated fourth-quarter revenue of 4.14 billion euros and EPS of 1.90 euros.
Price Action: SPOT stock is up 3.22% at $478.46 at the last check on Wednesday.

Spotify Technology Unusual Options Activity For December 30

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to include a comment from a Spotify spokesperson.
Explicit content has been discovered in Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) search results, sparking user outrage over apparent moderation loopholes.
What Happened: Over the weekend, a Reddit user shared a screenshot showing a pornographic video appearing in search results for British rapper M.I.A.
One account, known for erotic audio, has recently begun posting sexually explicit videos, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/29/24331523/spotify-pornographic-graphic-explicit-videos">noted</a> The Verge. Another account, identified by a random alphanumeric name, has been uploading similar content as podcasts since mid-November.

Reformist Government Lifts WhatsApp, Google Play Ban — Promises &#8216;This Path Will Continue&#8217;</a>
The content in question has been removed due to violation of our policies,&#8221;&nbsp; a Spotify spokesperson told Benzinga in an emailed statement.
This issue is not new; previous Reddit posts and a 2022 Vice article have pointed out similar explicit content, including graphic nudity in playlist cover art.

Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Instagram has also been under scrutiny for suggesting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35973162/mark-zuckerbergs-instagram-faces-a-troubling-turn-over-sexualized-content-of-minors">sexualized content of minors</a> to adult users.
In November, Spotify reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41941113/these-analysts-increase-their-forecasts-on-spotify-following-q3-earnings">quarterly revenue of $3.99 billion</a>, which missed the projected $4.02 billion but marked an increase from last year&#8217;s sales of $3.65 billion during the same period.
Price Action: Spotify&#8217;s stock has risen 141.78% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

A Closer Look at Spotify Technology's Options Market Dynamics

Google-parent Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) has laid out its remedies proposal in the high-stakes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GOOGL/news">search distribution case</a> with the Department of Justice (DOJ). 
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth notes that Google's focus on non-exclusivity and increased flexibility aligns with its strategy to limit regulatory overreach. However, investors should also turn their attention to Google's operational strength, which could be a significant driver of long-term value.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alphabet&#8217;s Remedies In DOJ Case</h2>
Google's proposal, filed on Dec. 20, sidesteps the harsher measures suggested by the DOJ, such as divestiture of Chrome or Android. Instead, the company's remedies focus on removing search exclusivity in browser and Android agreements and giving partners greater flexibility. 
This should allow partners like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and mobile carriers to preload multiple search engines. This shift could create opportunities for competitors, including Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), to vie for top spots.
Anmuth expects the judge's final decision in August 2025 to strike a balance between the DOJ and Google's proposals, likely considering user impacts. Still, the timing of remedy enforcement, appeals and potential injunctions adds uncertainty to financial implications.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Tremendous Innovation In AI&#8217;, &#8216;New Buyback&#8217; Likely</h2>
While the legal battle unfolds, Alphabet's fundamentals remain robust. Anmuth emphasizes that Alphabet is demonstrating "tremendous innovation in AI," which continues to bolster healthy Search and overall ad revenue growth.
The company's ability to "durably re-engineer the cost base and expand margins" further strengthens its financial position. Moreover, Alphabet &#8220;will likely announce a new buyback authorization at 1Q earnings,&#8221; signaling confidence in future cash flows, says Anmuth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alphabet Among JPMorgan&#8217;s 2025 Top Picks</h2>
JPMorgan sees Alphabet as &#8220;one of our 2025 Top Picks&#8221;, alongside Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>). Anmuth projects a December 2025 price target of $232, supported by Alphabet's strong 30%+ operating income margin and double-digit percentage revenue growth. 
Beyond ads, Alphabet's non-ad businesses like Cloud and YouTube subscriptions hold significant growth potential. Meanwhile, ventures like Waymo and Verily offer optionality for future value.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Road Ahead For Alphabet Stock Investors</h2>
Investor focus is shifting toward how a new administration could influence final remedies due in March 2025. A potential settlement or adjustments in Apple's search agreements could also sway outcomes. 
The court case may cast a shadow though Alphabet's core strengths are intact. Despite the regulatory noise, Alphabet stock remains a compelling play for investors seeking exposure to a leader in AI and digital transformation.

<li>投機的なセンチメントは株式市場の主要なドライバーの一つである。
<ul>
<li>投機的なセンチメントが現在非常に高い水準にある。</li>
<li>ヒューマノイドロボットとロボタクシー vs 電気自動車の戦いが予想される。この戦いの結果は、投機的なセンチメントに大きな影響を与えるか、あるいは取り除くかに関わる。</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>チャートによると、TSLA株はガンマ・スクイーズがかかり急騰している。ガンマ・スクイーズはウォール街の重要なメカニズムである。投資家はウォール街のメカニズムについて学ぶことで大きな利得を得ることができる。</li>

<li>チャートのRSIによると、TSLA株は過剰買い気味になっている。これにより、TSLA株が上昇するのを容易にする。</li>

<li>イーロン・マスクは、テスラの株主の一部にヒューマノイドロボット、ロボタクシー、AIにフォーカスするように働きかけることに成功した。マスク氏の株主基盤の再構築に成功したにもかかわらず、テスラ株の大部分の株主は引き続き同社の電気自動車部門に焦点を当てている。</li>
<li>電気自動車事業は引き続き弱く、さらに弱くなる可能性が高い。</li>
<li>マスク氏は、テスラがヒューマノイドロボットを生産しており、これらは来年テスラで稼働すると語った。
<ul>
<li>テスラは2026年から他社にヒューマノイドロボットを販売することを目指している。</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>テスラのロボタクシーイベントは8月から10月に延期された。ロボタクシーに関するさらなる煽りと目を見張るような予測を期待していい。</li>
<li>決算発表後、電気自動車に焦点を当てる人々と、ヒューマノイドロボットとロボタクシーに焦点を当てる人々との間で戦いが繰り広げられる。この戦いの結果は、TSLA株だけでなく、株式市場全体のセンチメントにも影響を及ぼすだろう。</li>
<li>重要な決算の中で、ジェネラル・モーターズ（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>）、ゼネラル・エレクトリック（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>）、コカ・コーラ（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>）、ロッキード・マーティン（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>）、SAP（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>）、Spotify Technology SA（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>）が予想を上回る決算を発表した。</li>

インドは引き続き最も優れた長期投資機会の一つである。フルディスクロージャーとして、インドに焦点を当てたファンドであるFairfax India Holdings Corp（OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFXDF#OTC">FFXDF</a>）は The Arora Report の ZYX Buy Model Portfolio に含まれている。インドにフォーカスした3つのETF、WisdomTree India Earnings Fund（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPI#NYSE">EPI</a>）、iShares MSCI India Small-Cap ETF（BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMIN#BATS">SMIN</a>）、VanEck India Growth Leaders ETF（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLIN#NYSE">GLIN</a>）が The Arora Reportの ZYX Emerging Model Portfolio に含まれている。
インドの株式にとって、中央政府の予算は常に大きなイベントとなる。この度発表された予算は、長期的には素晴らしいものだが、短期的には、キャピタルゲイン税が増えたことによって投資家が慄いている。短期キャピタルゲインには20％の税率、長期キャピタルゲインには12.5％の税率が適用される。

投資家にとっては、前方を見ることが、後方を見ることよりも重要である。
良質な、非常に長期のポジションを維持することを検討してみるのも一つの方法である。個々のリスク選好に基づき、現金あるいは国債、あるいは短期の戦術的取引、または短期から中期のヘッジ取引を含む保護バンドを考慮することも重要だ。これは自己を保護するための良い方法であり、反対に利益を伸ばすことができる。

保護バンドが0％の場合、その時点での市場予測は非常に楽観的であり、投資家は現金を0％保有し、100％の資産を株式に投資することを選択したことを意味する。一方で保護バンドが100％の場合、その時点での市場予測は非常に悲観的であり、投資家はヘッジまたはショートセリングの方法で自己を保護しようと決意したことを意味する。
新たな機会を活用するには、十分な現金を保有していなければならない。これは投資家にとって非常に重要なポイントである。ヘッジレベルを調整する際には、株式ポジション（ETF以外）の部分的なストップ数量を調整することを検討する。また、残りの数量に対して幅の広いストップを使用すること、およびハイベータ株に対してもっとスペースを与えることを検討することも重要だ。なお、ハイベータ株とは、市場よりも個
