What are Wall Street analysts saying about Sirius XM stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Sirius XM stock:
- 1. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We updated our model to more fully integrate Pandora into our forecasts that resulted in no change to our $7 target. However, the move to a YE’20 target price from YE’19 resulted in a $0.70 increase in our target to $7.70. As evidenced by the solid 2Q results, overall the SIRI core business is chugging along nicely as the used car market becomes an increasing driver of subscriber growth, while Pandora has gotten off to a nicely better than expected start on the advertising front." (8/9/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Sirius XM’s revenues in first-quarter 2019 benefited from the acquisition of Pandora, growth in subscriber base and higher average revenue per user (ARPU). Pandora’s revenues and subscriber base were also higher than the year-ago period. Notably, Pandora’s ad revenues witnessed record growth for the first quarter. This growth is expected to continue in the near term owing to Sirius XM’s efforts to boost advertisers reach. Additionally, the company’s strategy to tap users outside the automobile market with the launch of a streaming-only package, Essential, is likely to drive revenues in the near term. Moreover, increasing adoption of Sirius XM’s 360L platform among automakers like General Motors is a positive. However, the company’s profitability took a hit owing to costs associated with Pandora acquisition and higher tax rate. Also, shares have underperformed the industry over the past year." (5/6/2019)
- 3. Barrington Research analysts commented, "We reaffirm our OUTPERFORM investment rating and $8 price target: Sirius XM continues to offer an excellent business model with solid organic revenue trajectory and cash generation, with more opportunities to reach consumers through the Pandora acquisition. Strong cash flow supports additional share repurchases, on which management is being aggressive, and the $0.0484 annual dividend." (4/24/2019)
