BUY

Profitable. They have the product and content, so their recent price increases will succeed. Their customers are hooked, faithful. Good cash flow and good subscription revenue.

BUY

It reports Tuesday. It's a beat-and-raise machine, driven by subscription revenues. Loves this stick revenue.

BUY

It reports Tuesday. They just signed Joe Rogan to huge contract. That could signal super numbers when they report.

COMMENT
Piper Sandler Teen Survey results

Over 70% of teens use this service, more twice as much as #2.

DON'T BUY

Shares plunged 14% after their quarter yesterday, but was up 107% YTD before that report. Puzzling. Climbing subscribers number haven't translated into revenue: more monthly active users, premium subscribers and ad-supported users. 14% revenue growth cs. 27% rise in monthly users. They're struggling to monetize users. Revenue per users are declining. That's why they raised prices last week for the first time. Also, expenses were much higher than expected while free cash flow of 9 million Euros was much lower than the street's 72 million. They're spending like drunken sailors. They missed numbers while expectations were too high. However, they gave excellent guidance for the current quarter. Analysts actually raised price targets. Overall, these are fixable problems, turning users into earnings namely and he likes the stock. Until they do around, there are better stocks to buy like Netflix.

BUY
It was tagged as a lockdown play. Wrong! Today it crushed user and revenues expectations. Shares jumped 12% today.
DON'T BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks One can say that Spotify has bottomed and can only climb higher. Gains on Monday morning as I write this suggest this, but what won’t change for the foreseeable future is Spotify’s unprofitability. EPS stands at $-0.71 while EPS growth lags the industry. It trades at an astonishing -273x PE and carries a -1.31% profit margin. Forget cash flow and dividends. ROI and ROE are -3.42% and -5.42%. Spotify’s track record in earnings in the past four quarters is a spotty two beats and two misses. So, what’s there to like about this stock?

BUY
Great managers. He likes the company and the podcast industry is crowded, but this has come down a lot and it's time to buy.
BUY

Like MSFT, it just delivered a winning quarter, but investors today were tripping over themselves to find a reason for selling it (down 12%). The market can get it wrong. Sure, SPOT had a little slowdown in monthly users, but the CEO is solid.

BUY
It's come down hard because it's seen as a stay at home stock. But he sees more than that here, and would buy it.
DON'T BUY

Again, the dominance is there. But the valuation is off the charts. Under the same umbrella as Zoom and Shopify.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
He sold it before it dropped. They've had a lot of new competition so that's why it's treading water. He'd rebuy this at $115-120, which he expects to happen this year.
BUY
Had a rounded top (higher highs & lows) in mid-2018 and has since based. The downtrend ended in late-December. It broke resistance at $140 and it's now a great chart.
DON'T BUY
He has looked at it a little but s not ready to buy. There is a lot of excitement. If they can dominate music it will be a big winner.
COMMENT

It's in line with the FANGs. Had a wonderful run and is considered the future of music consumption. If there's a weak market, though, this faces huge downside risk. Be cautious.
