☆ Spotify is ready to follow Netflix and be the next breakout streaming stock, according to the charts
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-22 | by ( Todd Gordon | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The stock is consolidating just below all-time highs and if Netflix's move after earnings is any indication, I think SPOT should punch through to new all-time highs. We're currently trading at $386, just below the all-time highs of $387 set back in 2021. The earnings trajectory for this company has been insane: 2022 EPS ($3.09) 2023 EPS ($2.95) 2024 EPS +$6.37 2025 EPS +$9.06 (est.) Netflix beat expectations and broke to new all-time highs led by new subs, 50% of which are coming from an ad tier. Meta is also in the communication sector sitting close to new all-time highs like NFLX, so the trend for this group remains firmly higher.

CNN —Demi Lovato returned to the Met Gala on Monday, eight years after a bad experience at the event made her question if she’d ever want to attend again. After the gala in 2016, Lovato posted on Instagram a since-deleted photo of herself standing on the red carpet near Nicki Minaj, who appeared displeased. Lovato wrote that the image “pretty much summed up my first and probably last Met.”“I had a terrible experience,” she told Billboard in a 2018 interview. “I related more to the homeless people in that meeting who struggled with the same struggles that I deal with than the people at the Met Gala,” she said. Lovato publicly documented her history with substance abuse and her recovery.

But Mr. Biden, who has held fewer news conferences than his predecessors, also hinted that could come with some criticism.
