The analysts used regional smartphone usage to estimate Spotify’s potential market and linked those numbers to the company’s long-term financials. KeyBanc estimates Spotify’s total addressable market (TAM) will grow to €3.9 billion by 2030, up from €3.1 billion in 2023, and believes Spotify could reach one billion users if it grows its market share by 90 basis points per year during this timeframe.
The analysts also believe Spotify’s service is currently underpriced, which could give it room to increase prices going forward. As a result, KeyBanc raised its price target for Spotify from $420 to $440 and expects a 30% compound annual growth rate between now and 2030.
It’s worth noting that Patterson is a 4.4-star rated analyst with a 72% success rate on SPOT stock and an average return of 30.56% per rating.
