Spotify: Long Runway For Pricing, Margins, And Free Cash Flow

Summary Spotify's platform is evolving beyond music streaming, compounding engagement, retention, and monetization via add-ons, non-music formats, and advertising. Non-music verticals now contribute significantly to gross margin, validating the add-on model and supporting higher LTV across user cohorts. Partial credit for the 2030 framework—mid-teens revenue growth, 35-40% gross margin, >20% operating margin—supports valuation upside. My valuation points to roughly €120 billion of fair enterprise value, or more than $700 per share. I reiterate my Buy rating on SPOT. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Roblox: Safety Is Delaying Margin Improvement

Summary Roblox Corporation is rated hold with a positive bias, as safety investments delay margin expansion despite robust user and cash flow growth. RBLX's June 16 global launch of Kids and Select accounts increases platform safety but introduces friction in user acquisition and pressures near-term growth. Adult users monetize over 50% better than under-18s, but higher creator payouts and ongoing reinvestment weigh on margins and profitability. Strong liquidity and a $3B buyback authorization support RBLX stock, but sustained operating profits must emerge for valuation to rerate meaningfully. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Lionsgate Studios: With No Deal On The Table, This Stock Looks Expensive

Summary Lionsgate Studios has surged ~70% YTD on deal speculation, but Netflix recently passed on acquiring the company. Despite a valuable content library and upcoming Hunger Games prequel, LION faces declining revenue and profitability concerns. The current $16 share price appears to price in significant M&A optimism, making risk/reward less attractive. I maintain a sell rating on LION, citing uncomfortable valuation versus operational headwinds and uncertain acquisition prospects. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Madison Square Garden Sports: The Knicks Are On The Verge Of Something Special

Summary Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. is upgraded to a speculative Buy as the Knicks near their first NBA championship since 1973. MSGS trades at a 17.7% discount to adjusted Forbes private market valuation, with potential for further upside if the Knicks win. A confidential SEC filing advances plans to split MSGS into separate Knicks and Rangers entities, potentially unlocking additional value. Buyer interest could surge post-championship, and MSGS offers unique portfolio diversification with low S&P 500 correlation. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
