We trim our 2025F-27F estimates 2-3%, purely on FX, and up our TP slightly to €29.5, on higher financial investments (Spotify share price performance) and slightly higher long-term estimates. This follows a 2% EBITDA consensus beat on 5% better sales in 1Q25, backed by a very confident message from management on (1) broad-based DSPs subscription growth improvement, (2) achieving the 2028 targets (>7% sales CAGR, >10% EBITDA CAGR), thanks to incoming wholesale price increases, DSP own price incre...
