Netflix Lags Q3 Earnings Yet Ups Free Cash Flow View: ETFs in Spotlight

 Netflix's Q3 earnings miss hits shares hard, but ETFs like FDN, XLC and FNGS offer a diversified play on its long-term potential.  

Spotify Technology S.A. (SPOT) stock fell over 2% in Tuesday’s early premarket session after&nbsp;a key Wall Street firm downgraded the stock.&nbsp;Goldman Sachs lowered its rating on the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPOT">Spotify stock</a> to ‘Neutral’ from ‘Buy,’ but upped&nbsp;its price target to $770 from $765, according to&nbsp;a&nbsp;summary of&nbsp;the note on the Fly. The&nbsp;research&nbsp;firm sees a balanced risk-reward for&nbsp;the stock, ahead of the music streaming company’s third-quarter report on Nov. 4.According to Fiscal.ai, Spotify is expected to report earnings per share (EPS) of 1.98 euros ($2.33) and revenue of 4.23 billion euros for the third quarter. This compares to the year-ago numbers of 1.45 euros and 3.99 billion euros.Goldman analysts believe&nbsp;the stock’s move suggests that investors are pricing in Spotify's forward growth. Nevertheless, the analyst continues to forecast mid-teens percent&nbsp;growth&nbsp;in the&nbsp;company’s&nbsp;annual total revenue over the next four years.The&nbsp;latest downgrade follows two Wall Street brokerages' upbeat commentaries about Spotify on Monday. JPMorgan analysts maintained an ‘Overweight’ rating on the stock, and increased the price target to $805 from $740, attributing the action to the firm’s updated model to factor in the recent international price hike. The firm expects a price hike to be announced in the U.S. later this year. It projects 2026 total year-over-year revenue growth of 14% for Spotify, expecting its recent music deal agreements to push it closer to the launch of the anticipated Superfan Tier.Separately, Argus initiated coverage of Spotify with a ‘Buy’ rating and a $845 price target, implying a 16% upside from the stock’s Monday close. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward Spotify stock deteriorated to ‘bearish’ (39/100) by early Tuesday from ‘neutral’ the day before.

Shares of music streaming service Spotify Technology SA (SPOT) have gained nearly 38% for the year-to-date period, even as the S&amp;P 500 is down 6%.
