Spotify Is A Buy-The-Dip Opportunity, Here's Why

Summary SPOT's stock price dropped by 30% since its ATH. But I think the drop is not justified by business fundamentals. SPOT demonstrates robust MAU and premium subscriber growth, supported by geographic diversification and effective monetization initiatives. Gross margin reached 33%, operating leverage improved, and free cash flow turned positive to €3.2B LTM despite increased CAPEX. I expect double-digit total returns, so SPOT is a strong buy for me.
