Spotify (SPOT) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Spotify Technology S.A. (SPOT - Free Report) will release second-quarter 2021 results on Jul 28, before the bell.
The company’s surprise history hasn’t been impressive. It delivered a negative earnings surprise of 75.4% in the last four quarters, on average.
Q2 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $2.77 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 33.1%. Growth of subscribers and monthly active users is likely to have benefited the top line. However, average revenue per user is expected to have declined due to shifts in both product mixes.
Gross margin is expected to be higher due to the impacts of seasonality. The metric is comparatively higher in the second and fourth quarters as costs of promotional campaigns are low compared with the first and third quarters. The company is expected to have incurred a loss of 55 cents per share in the to-be-reported quarter. It had incurred a loss of $2.1 in the second quarter of 2020.
