July 26, 2023: On Monday, Shares of Spotify decrease 6% in premarket trading after the company fired second-quarter results that missed analysts’ estimates for earnings and offered weaker-than-expected guidance.

On Monday, Spotify announced plans to increase the price of its Premium subscription offerings by as much as $2, which translates to a 20% rise for some projects. The company said that the market landscape has “persisted to evolve” since Spotify launched and that the changes will help the company “continue to deliver value to fans and artists,” according to a blog post.
In the U.S., Spotify’s Premium Individual offering now costs $10.99, up from $9.99, and its Premium Duo plan changed to $14.99, up from $12.99. The Premium Family plan is now priced at $16.99, up from $15.99, and the Student offering costs $5.99, up from $4.99.
