Spotify (SPOT) to Post Q3 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Spotify Technology S.A. (SPOT - Free Report) will release third-quarter 2021 results on Oct 27, before the bell.
The company’s earnings surprise history has been impressive. It delivered an earnings surprise of 20.7% in the last four quarters, on average.
Q2 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $2.9 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 25.5%. Growth of subscribers and monthly active users (MAUs) is likely to have benefited the top line.
Gross margin is expected to be lower due to the impacts of seasonality. The metric is comparatively low in the first and third quarters as costs of promotional campaigns are higher compared with the second and fourth quarters. The company is expected to have incurred a loss of 25 cents per share in the to-be-reported quarter. It had incurred a loss of 68 cents in the third quarter of 2020.
