Moore was referring to Spotify\u2019s blowout Q4 earnings results and also noted that the company\u2019s management gave a promising Q1 guide. The analyst also noted that Spotify\u2019s stock closed up 15% and partially recovered from a January rout, which Moore associated with competitive threats from music generation and manipulation startups.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->On the same day, Benchmark reiterated a Buy rating on Spotify stock and maintained a $760 price target. Like Bernstein, Benchmark\u2019s decision was a reaction to Spotify\u2019s Q4 results. The firm described Spotify as having delivered \u201can exceptionally clean quarter.\u201d<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->It noted that Spotify\u2019s Q4 performance helped address concerns around average revenue per user, gross margin, and subscriber growth, adding that its view counters narratives suggesting AI music technology could disrupt Spotify\u2019s business model.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Benchmark also highlighted Spotify management\u2019s view that AI will force aggregation in the music industry. This, they noted, gives an edge to large platforms with data, distribution, and industry alignment like Spotify. The firm emphasized Spotify\u2019s belief that AI-driven content creation will expand the global audio catalog and boost the value of the company\u2019s personalization, discovery, and monetization capabilities.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE:SPOT) is a Luxembourg-based company that operates the world\u2019s largest audio streaming platform.
