What’s behind the move: The digital music and streaming service missed its second quarter premium subscriber outlook. The company sees total premium subscribers coming in at 299 million versus a consensus estimate of 300.29 million. That weaker forecast overshadowed a first quarter gain in premium-paying customers and a revenue jump of 8.2%. What else you need to know: Earlier this year, Spotify raised prices for its premium subscription, following hikes in prior years intended to improve its bottom line. The stock is down 25% year to date, and more than 40% off its all-time high from last year as investors have been resetting growth expectations.
