On August 28, Spotify Technology S.A. rose 3.32% in regular trading, trading at $545.22/share, with turnover of $176 million, rebounding notably from the prior session's decline.
On the news front, the company recently announced a $1.5 billion expansion to its share repurchase program, bringing total authorization to approximately $2.22 billion, with $723 million remaining under the prior plan before the increase. This provides sustained buyback support for the stock.
Additionally, prominent investment firm ValueAct Holdings significantly increased its Spotify position by 46.9% to 526,800 shares in Q2. Morgan Stanley maintained its Overweight rating and raised its price target to $640, while Phillip Securities upgraded the stock to Buy with a $650 price target. Multiple positive catalysts collectively underpinned the stock's recovery after the previous session's 3.06% decline amid broader entertainment sector weakness.
