Spotify SPOT -1.11%▼ Technology SA defended the company’s strategy Wednesday and outlined plans to expand into new businesses to address investors fears that the audio-market opportunity is limited.
At its first investor day since the streaming giant went public four years ago, Spotify highlighted the loyalty of its hundreds of millions of listeners, its industry-leading music recommendations and its podcast unit’s success. The company also pointed to its expansion globally, its growing set of tools for creators, and areas it plans to expand into including audiobooks and eventually education, sports and news.
The presentation came amid investor and analyst concerns the company isn’t going to turn a profit soon and a 55% slide in its share price so far this year.
Chief Executive Daniel Ek kicked off the live-streamed event by laying out the company’s successes from the past four years and combated the notion that “we are a bad business.”
The CEO laid out an ambitious vision for Spotify over the next decade, one in which he envisions becoming a business 10 times its current size. “That’s why we’re investing so aggressively in building not only a bigger but, we’re thinking, a much more profitable business,” he said in an interview.
He said Spotify would reach one billion listeners by 2030, and generate $100 billion in revenue annually with a 40% gross margin.
“We believe this is a risky bet,” said Daniel Ives, an analyst at Wedbush Securities. “The Street has lacked confidence in the name and it’s an impressive but aggressive goal.”
Shares of the Stockholm-based company have fallen 70% from an all-time high set last year. The stock closed up 6% in trading on Wednesday. Shares of other tech companies have also fallen sharply since the start of the year
After upending the record business, Spotify has grown into an audio giant with new verticals in podcasting and audiobooks, executives said, that differ in their prospects and their financials. The company’s expansion beyond a music-focused tech platform is good, they said.
