Does Robust Cash Generation Highlight Spotify's Operational Prowess?
Spotify Technology S.A. 's SPOT rapidly growing free cash flow ('FCF') highlights its operational strength and prudent capital management strategy. During the second quarter of 2025, SPOT reported FCF of €2.8 billion, up 8% from the preceding quarter and 115% year over year. Quarterly figures indicate that the company has made substantial progress compared with the previous year's figures. During the June quarter of this year, SPOT generated €700 million in FCF alone, increasing 31.1% sequentially and 42.9% from the year-ago quarter. This appreciating trend is long-standing, evidenced by €2.3 billion in FCF during 2024, increasing 237% from 2023. This trend not only substantiates Spotify's position as a high-growth tech company but also solidifies its position as a leading player in cash generation within the audio streaming landscape. This exponential growth in FCF that SPOT has experienced is caused by a combination of multiple factors. During the second quarter of 2025, the company witnessed 12% year-over-year growth in this metric. With growing members, the company registered significant growth in its top line as the metric surged to €4.2 billion, up 10% from the year-ago quarter's actual. Improvements in premium and ad-supported segments drove gross margins to 31.5%, rising 227 basis points from the year-ago quarter. Strategic cost management, evidenced by gross margin expansion and a favorable product mix, improved Spotify's focus on cash flow reinvestment for platform enhancements and global expansion. SPOT's strong FCF ensures flexibility to invest in new content formats, market penetration and lower volatility from dynamic user demography and macroeconomic setbacks. SPOT's Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates The stock has skyrocketed 109.3% over the past year, significantly outperforming the industry 's 40.7% growth and the 15.6% rise of the Zacks S&P 500 composite. SPOT outperformed its close competitors, Apple 's AAPL 1.9% rise and Amazon 's AMZN 26.6% growth for the same period. 1-Year Price Performance From a valuation perspective, SPOT trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 74.49X, higher than the industry's 39.35X. Apple and Amazon appear more affordable with 29.71X and 31.47X, respectively. P/E - F12M Spotify and Apple carry a Value Score of F each. Amazon carries a Value Score of D. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Spotify's earnings for 2025 and 2026 has declined 38.1% and 10%, respectively, over the past 60 days. SPOT currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

Flight cancelled due to Air Canada strike? You may have more rights than you think
Social Sharing The Air Canada flight attendants strike disrupted travel for hundreds of thousands of passengers. As travellers scramble to rearrange their plans, many are seeking answers about their rights. They may be surprised to learn that passengers set to depart from most European countries have more protections than those booked on domestic flights. Here's what you need to know about your rights if your Air Canada travel plans have suddenly unravelled. You have a right to a rebooked flight Air Canada announced on Wednesday that passengers affected by flight cancellations who rebooked and paid for travel on other airlines can submit claims for reimbursement. Passengers who took another mode of transport home, such as a bus, can also submit claims. "We've adjusted our policy," said Air Canada spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick. "We want to take care of the customers and we want to be sure that if they are stranded right now, they can get home." The adjusted policy aligns with Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR). The regulations state that when an airline cancels flights due to a labour disruption, they must offer affected passengers a choice between a cash refund or a rebooked flight. "For better or for worse, you don't have to take the refund," says Ian Jack, spokesperson for the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), a non-profit travel agency. According to the APPR, if a large airline, such as Air Canada, can't rebook you on a partner airline within 48 hours after your original departure time, the carrier must attempt to rebook you on any airline — even a major competitor. If there's nothing available, the airline must search for alternative flights at another nearby airport, and provide transport to that airport. Airlines that don't comply face hefty fines. Earlier this year, the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) hit Westjet with a $204,000 penalty for failing to rebook passengers whose flights were cancelled during a WestJet mechanics strike in 2024. During the Air Canada strike, some passengers may have found themselves stranded despite Air Canada's best efforts. That's because the carrier is the country's largest airline, and its flight attendants walked off the job during peak summer travel season. Consumer advocate Geoff White argues the lack of alternative flights for disrupted passengers highlights another problem: lack of competition in Canada's airline industry. "The reason why so many people are stranded right now is we don't have [enough] competition," said White, executive director of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre. "This has to be the wake-up call." In June, Canada's Competition Bureau stated that the country's airline industry is highly concentrated with two major carriers — Air Canada and WestJet. It called for increased competition, and recommended relaxing rules that limit foreign ownership of Canadian airlines. Passengers flying from EU countries have more rights Under the current APPR, airlines are under no obligation to compensate passengers for their hotel and incidentals if they're delayed at their destination due to a strike. "Air Canada can choose, for goodwill purposes, to help you out with that, but there's no legal obligation," said Jack. Passengers also can't claim compensation for flight delays and cancellations; the APPR considers job actions beyond an airline's control. However, affected Air Canada passengers can claim compensation for both their added travel expenses and flight disruptions if their cancelled flight departed from the United Kingdom or European Union-member countries. That's because passengers departing from those countries are covered by EU air passenger rights which provide wider protections compared to the APPR. WATCH l Passengers' travel plan disrupted by Air Canada strike: Air Canada passengers in limbo as flight attendants' strike enters 3rd day 2 days ago Another day of uncertainty awaited Air Canada travellers on Monday after striking flight attendants defied a federal back-to-work order and delayed the airline's plans to restart operations. 'We haven't slept, we've been calling, we're tired,' said one frustrated passenger trying to fly to Portugal for her honeymoon. Similar to the APPR, EU rules dictate that when airines cancel flights, passengers are owed a refund or a rebooking. EU rules also state airlines can deny compensation for flight disruptions caused by a strike. However, they specify that this exemption only applies to disputes that don't involve the airline. A strike by an airline's own staff "does not release the airline from its obligation to pay compensation," the EU states online. Passengers can choose to file compensation claims under the APPR or EU regulations. Consequently, affected Air Canada passengers who qualify under EU rules can seek reimbursement for added expenses like hotels, plus compensation of up to €600 ($965 CAD). Passengers departing from the U.K. can claim up to £520 ($970 CAD). "In Europe, the view is a lot more consumer-friendly by saying, "No, no, the airline certainly could control how it interacts with its unions and the onus should be on the airline,'" said White. "We've got a long way to go here in Canada." Jack agrees. When it comes to air travel, "if something goes wrong in Europe, you're going to get treated better than you are in Canada," he said. Where are the new rules? More than two years ago, the federal government proposed changes to the APPR that, if they had been enacted by now, might have helped out many Air Canada passengers. The proposed changes, designed to strengthen the APPR, include a requirement for airlines to cover hotel costs and incidentals during any type of flight disruption — including those caused by labour disruptions. Jack says it's unfortunate the proposed rules remain in limbo as passengers grapple with the Air Canada strike. "Sadly, it's not going to help people in this current circumstance," he said. "People would be in a better position today had the government moved forward with these [rules]." The Canadian Transportation Agency told CBC News consultations for the proposed rules wrapped up in March, and that there's no timeline yet for when they will take effect. The agency did not directly answer questions about why it was taking so long to implement the new rules. Any passengers who believe Air Canada — or any other airline — didn't honour their rights can file a complaint with the CTA. However, they may be in for a long wait for resolution; in June, the federal regulator reported a backlog of more than 87,000 air passenger complaints.
