What are Wall Street analysts saying about Sirius XM stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Sirius XM stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Sirius XM shares have underperformed the industry over the past year. The company faces intense competition in the streaming space from the likes of Apple and Spotify, which is expected to hurt the top line in the near term. Additionally, increasing royalty related expense is expected to keep margins under pressure. Moreover, slowdown in new car penetration due to reduced penetration in high fleet sales with a few automakers is also a concern. However, growth in subscriber base and higher average revenue per user (ARPU) aided fourth-quarter 2018 top line. The company’s subscriber base is witnessing growth owing to a strong content portfolio. Additionally, after Pandora acquisition, Sirius XM has more than 100 million listeners in North America. The acquisition is also expected to further boost its content slate, which is a positive." (2/11/2019)
- 2. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We remind investors that our relatively cautious stance on SIRI is driven by the Pandora equity deal which changed investor focus on SIRI from a dramatic equity shrink in a relatively short period of time to deals and buybacks over a more extended period, which in our view, brings into play the still arguably rich, but fair (at 14X ’19 EBITDA and 18X ’19 FCF after tax) valuation. We continue to prefer SIRI’s primary shareholder LSXMA (BUY) which trades at an unwarranted 29% discount to NAV." (1/31/2019)
