About Spotify (SPOT)

Spotify is the world's largest music, podcast and audiobook streaming service, with hundreds of millions of users. Revenue comes from two sides: paid subscriptions (Premium), which are the main source of profit, and the free, ad-supported tier. The business's key challenge has been improving margins, since it pays a large share of revenue to labels and artists.

It is a Swedish-origin company (Spotify Technology S.A.) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under SPOT since 2018, via a direct listing. As a foreign company it is not part of the S&P 500; it is a growth stock that pays no dividend.
