Morgan<\/a> conference in May, UMG CFO <strong>Matthew Ellis<\/strong> outlined the company&#8217;s expectation of 8\u201310% streaming revenue growth, split evenly between subscriber additions and pricing actions. He projected that roughly 4\u20135% would come from continued subscriber growth, though increasingly from lower-<strong>ARPU (Average Revenue Per User)<\/strong> markets, and another 4\u20135% from pricing measures, including the introduction of more subscription tiers.<\/p>\n<h2>Spotify&#8217;s Add-Ons and Advertising Push<\/h2>\n<p>During its earnings call this week, Spotify highlighted plans to drive revenue through paid add-ons such as audiobook extras and new AI-powered tools, alongside efforts to boost advertising income via programmatic ad technology.<\/p>\n<h2>Market Challenges and Analyst Outlook<\/h2>\n<p>The industry faces headwinds in lower-ARPU markets, where increasing both adoption and pricing remains difficult, and globally, where raising subscription fees without elevating churn is a persistent challenge. UMG announced an additional \u20ac250m share buyback programme, a move that signals confidence in its asset value. Analysts at JPMorgan suggested that UMG&#8217;s subscription income could improve in the second half of 2026 as new releases drive streaming activity.<\/p>\n<p>Spotify&#8217;s stock has since recovered to pre-report levels, WMG&#8217;s share price has remained steady, and UMG&#8217;s has begun to drift upward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Major music companies&#8217;
