Fair value updated Aug 13, 2026, revised from $209.56 to $210.99 (+0.7%) since Jul 16, 2026. Share price +3.6% over the past month.

A solid business, but screening 58% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($433.35). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • The model range is unusually wide ($158.24 to $433.35). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (69/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Spotify Technology S.A (SPOT) currently trades at $498.24, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $210.99, implying the stock looks roughly 57.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 69/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Spotify Technology S.A generated revenue of $17.5B at a net margin of 15.5%. Revenue grew 8.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 38.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $2.9B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $158.24 (bear case) to $433.35 (bull case); at $498.24, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 37% below its 52-week high and 23% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -8% fair-value upside, at -58%, SPOT screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
