The firm also sells separate audiobook subscriptions and integrates podcasts within its standard music app. Podcast content is not exclusive and is typically free to access on other platforms.

Shopify, Disney And Coinbase Were Among Top 10 Large Cap Gainers Last Week (November 11-15): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Popular podcaster Joe Rogan hosted Donald Trump, J.D. Vance and Trump ally Elon Musk in separate interviews on his popular podcast during the campaign season, which may have helped Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">win the presidential election</a>.
But a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41370777/trump-harris-consider-joe-rogan-podcast-could-spotify-ride-2024-election-wave-analy">proposed podcast between</a> Rogan and presidential candidate Kamala Harris never came to fruition and there are new details on why it didn&#8217;t happen.
What Happened: Rogan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41734989/joe-rogan-endorses-trump-as-elon-musk-presents-compelling-case-for-ex-president-heres-what-the-duo-d">endorsed Trump for president</a> and his conversations with Trump and Vance were viewed as long free-flowing conversations that may have helped voters have new views on the campaign team that ultimately won the 2024 election race.
A key driver of subscribers for Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast is one of the most listened to podcasts around the world and its popularity can help provide name awareness for people like political candidates.
In a recent episode of the podcast, Rogan said that one of the reasons the Harris team did not agree to the vice president appearing on the podcast was wanting to have stipulations on topics that were off-limits.
"I think they had requirements on things that she didn't want to talk about. She didn't want to talk about marijuana legalization, which I thought was hilarious," Rogan said on the recent episode. &nbsp;
Rogan alleged that Harris' team didn't want to upset progressive voters, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/13/us-news/joe-rogan-claims-harris-wanted-to-avoid-marijuana-legalization/">reported</a> by the New York Post.
The popular podcaster said Harris' team reached out to Rogan's team about a potential interview after news reports of Trump agreeing to a sit down with Rogan surfaced. Scheduling did not work out between Rogan's team and Harris' team, with the podcaster saying he wanted to shoot the episode at the studio in Texas.
Another demand from the Harris team was to limit the sit-down interview to around one hour, instead of the typical three hours for Rogan interviews. Not going to the studio in Texas is said to have been the dealbreaker for Rogan.
"They had, I don't know how many conversations with my folks, but multiple conversations giving different dates, different times, different this, different that, and we knew that she was going to be in Texas, so I said, ‘open invitation.'"

</ul>
Why It's Important: Harris <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41752800/kamala-harris-promises-to-legalize-recreational-marijuana-in-groundbreaking-instagram-post">supported marijuana legalization </a>ahead of the 2024 presidential election, but her team may have worried where the conversation would lead and if progressive voters would be upset about the election issue.
Rogan's recent guest comedian Adrienne Iapalucci asked Rogan why her team wouldn't want to talk about cannabis.
"Because of her prosecuting record,&#8221; Rogan said. "She put a lot of people in jail for weed."
The comments were in reference to Harris' past time serving as the California attorney general and San Francisco district attorney.
While its unknown how many downloads the podcast with Trump has on Spotify, the video upload on YouTube has around 50 million views.
Harris may have not wanted to talk about marijuana on "The Joe Rogan Experience," but she did make reference to it during one of her appearance on "The Howard Stern Show."
Harris <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41270606/kamala-harris-advises-on-howard-stern-show-dont-get-stoned-before-visiting-the-sphere-in-las-veg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told talk show host</a> Howard Stern that she attended a U2 concert at the Las Vegas Sphere with husband Doug Emhoff earlier this year.
&#8220;Oh my god, have you been to the Sphere?&#8221; Harris asked Stern. &#8220;It&#8217;s extraordinary. You&#8217;re sitting there and it&#8217;s almost like Disneyland or Disneyworld where things just start to change around you and you feel like you lose sense of gravity. It&#8217;s really phenomenal.&#8221;
Harris also encouraged anyone attending a concert or film at the Las Vegas Sphere to go in &#8220;with a clear head&#8221; and not to be high.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of visual stimulation.&#8221;

Joe Rogan Says Harris Avoided Podcast Due To One Issue

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated with a confirmation from ValueAct Holdings.
ValueAct Holdings, L.P. reported holdings worth $3.9 billion in the September quarter after it disclosed major changes in its 13F filing for the third quarter of current fiscal. 
What Happened: One of the major changes in its holdings during Q3 was the addition of 211,500 shares of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) for $121.07 million, representing 3.08% of its total portfolio.
ValueAct Holdings is a hedge fund popularly known for its activist strategies, run by chief executive officer, Mason Morfit. An activist hedge fund usually follows an event-driven strategy and acquires sufficient equity to influence a company's policies, to increase company value. ValueAct has a long history of investing in technology companies and is generally considered to be more constructivist and collaborative than other activist funds.
A ValueAct spokesperson confirmed to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a> that the firm has built a $1 billion stake in Meta.
In 2022, Brad Gerstner&#8216;s Altimeter Capital targeted Meta, urging the company to reduce its workforce. Gerstner articulated his concerns in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/10/29380959/meta-investor-proposes-curb-on-employees-strength-metaverse-spending">a letter titled &#8220;Time to Get Fit.</a>
ValueAct fund's specific intentions remain unclear, but CEO Morfit is reportedly supportive of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s strategic focus on advancing artificial intelligence initiatives, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/12/activist-valueact-has-1-billion-stake-in-meta-sources-say.html">according</a> to CNBC.
Why It Matters: According to its Q3 <a href="https://13f.info/13f/000141881224000021/compare/000141881224000017">13F filing</a>, ValueAct has acquired a passive stake in the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, namely, Meta. It is one of the largest companies to be targeted by an activist investor, with a market cap of nearly $1.5 trillion. The hedge fund also increased its investment in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/01/36471982/disney-partners-with-valueact-capital-for-strategic-counsel-in-anticipation-of-2024-shareholder-meet">The Walt Disney Co</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) by adding 1.33 million shares taking its total value to $718.04 million in ValueAct&#8217;s portfolio.

Other Key Changes To The Portfolio
Apart from adding Meta, ValueAct has made some major changes to its portfolio which consists of ten holdings. The fund has increased its stake in the American video game developer Roblox Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) by adding 7.83 million shares in Q3. It now represents 8.81% of ValueAct&#8217;s portfolio, having a total value of $448.62 million.
Live Nation Entertainment Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>), Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Liberty Media Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLYVK#NASDAQ">LLYVK</a>) are other new holdings that ValueAct has added to its portfolio.
The hedge fund also reduced 806.96 thousand shares in Expedia Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) and completely exited Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), Finserv Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FI#NYSE">FI</a>), KKR &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), New York Times Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NYT#NYSE">NYT</a>) and Flutter Entertainment PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLUT#NYSE">FLUT</a>).

Activist Hedge Fund ValueAct Boosts Meta Stake With $121M Bet, But CEO Morfit Supports Mark Zuckerberg's AI Vision: Here's What Investors Should Know (Updated)

The Joe Rogan Experience or JRE premiered exclusively on Spotify Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) in Sept. 2020 as part of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/02/25708354/joe-rogans-deal-with-spotify-worth-at-least-double-of-what-was-previously-reported-nyt">multi-year deal</a> reportedly valued at $200 million. This deal wasn&#8217;t just big news for podcasting fans—it was a major moment for investors, too.
Rogan&#8217;s Impact On Spotify&#8217;s Growth
Spotify's exclusive deal with Rogan was a bet that paid off in multiple ways. Since the partnership, podcast consumption on the platform skyrocketed by 232%, according to the company.
Advertisers took notice, fueling a 2023 revenue increase of 80% since 2021. Rogan's show, consistently the world's most-streamed podcast, played a major role in turning Spotify into a podcasting giant.
Rogan&#8217;s podcast also held the top spot on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/11/36004998/joe-rogan-tops-spotifys-2023-podcasts-list-once-again-deal-likely-to-expire-in-2024-a-major">Spotify&#8217;s podcast chart</a> for the fourth year in a row in 2023.

How $1,000 Invested In Spotify Has Grown
If you had invested $1,000 in Spotify stock on Sept. 1, 2020 — the day Rogan's show debuted exclusively on the platform — that investment would now be worth approximately $1,696.
This represents a solid return of 69.7%, outpacing the broader market indexes. For context, the S&amp;P 500 rose 68.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 60% over the same period.

A New Chapter For JRE And Spotify
Earlier this year, Spotify renewed its partnership with Rogan, but the show will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/36914209/spotify-inks-multiyear-deal-with-podcast-king-joe-rogan-amid-shifting-strategy">no longer be exclusive</a> to the platform, expanding to Apple, Amazon, and Google&#8217;s YouTube.
Earlier this month, Spotify released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/41920955/spotify-stock-climbs-despite-q3-eps-revenue-misses">third-quarter financial results</a> reporting earnings of $1.46 per share, which fell short of the analyst consensus of $1.76.
Quarterly revenue came in at $3.99 billion, missing the expected $4.02 billion but reflecting an increase from $3.65 billion in the same quarter last year.
SPOT Price Action: Spotify shares ended Thursday&#8217;s session up 2.17%, closing at $477.50. In after-hours trading, however, the stock dipped slightly, settling at $476 as of the latest update, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions. 
Today, at 10:25 AM on November 13th, a significant trading signal occurred for Spotify Technology S.A. as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $448.60. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Spotify&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Spotify&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. Active traders interpret this particular indicator as a bullish signal.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Wall Street saw a modest rebound on Wednesday, spurred by an in-line inflation report that reinforced expectations for a December rate cut. The U.S. dollar continued to gain strength, buoyed by potential tariff tailwinds under <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the new Trump administration.</a>
Bitcoin again captured headlines as it surged past $93,000, lifting its market capitalization to $1.8 trillion and fueling a wave of enthusiasm across crypto markets, with Dogecoin up over 12%.
The Consumer Price Index met expectations in October, with the annual headline rate increasing to 2.6% and the core <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41938762/october-inflation-rate-rises-to-2-6-as-expected-december-interest-rate-cut-remains-uncertain">rate steady at 3.3%. </a>
The report alleviated concerns over a potential rate pause in December, driving market odds for a 25-basis-point cut from 58% to 82%, as per the CME FedWatch tool. Treasury yields eased slightly in response to the report.
By midday in New York, all major U.S. equity indices were in slightly positive territory, although with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 underperforming. Leading sectors included consumer discretionary and real estate, while utilities and health care lagged.
In political developments, U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-SD) was elected as the new majority leader in a secret ballot.
The U.S. dollar, tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), hit its highest level since November 2023, marking a fresh one-year high.
Gold dipped 0.6%, on track for a fourth consecutive loss.

Shares of Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) were climbing Wednesday after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41941113/these-analysts-increase-their-forecasts-on-spotify-following-q3-earnings">upbeat third-quarter earnings</a>.
Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<ul>
<li>Macquarie Equity Research <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5880b6f277f9dd00011b0aae/tim-nollen">analyst Tim Nollen</a> maintained an Outperform, while raising the price target higher from $395 to $500.</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587e33195064ed000173030b/eric-sheridan">analyst Eric Sheridan</a> reiterated a Buy, while lifting the price target from $430 to $490.</li>
<li>Bank of America Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/6422c89f5ce4fa00014ff23b/jessica-reif%20ehrlich">analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $430 to $515.</li>
</ul>
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Macquarie Equity Research: Spotify Technology's quarterly revenue grew by 19% but marginally missed expectations, Nollen said in a note. Premium subscribers of 252 million and MAUs (monthly active users) of 640 million were both ahead, he added.
The company's gross margins expanded to 31.1%, from 26.3% in the year-ago quarter, driven by "improved podcasting profitability, Marketplace strength, and shifting product mix to audiobooks vs music," the analyst stated. Management's revenue growth guidance of 14% for the fourth quarter "is hindered by lapping price increases and FX headwinds," he further wrote.
Nollen raised the operating income estimate for 2024 from 1.2 billion euros ($1.28 billion) to 1.4 billion euros , which is more than three times the consensus coming into the year.
Goldman Sachs: Spotify Technology's forward commentary reflected "strength in premium partially offset by advertising softness," Sheridan said. The company's third-quarter results and fourth-quarter guidance reflect "healthy user trajectory" on the back of "platform/product enhancements aided by marketing spend," he added.
Spotify Technology's operating income grew to a record high, "reflecting gross margin expansion and disciplined cost measures," the analyst wrote. Management expects the trends to continue into the new year and their fourth-quarter guidance reflects "healthy exit rates for the overall business,&#8221; he further stated.
BofA Securities: Spotify's third-quarter results were "very strong," with gross margin, operating income and free cash flows "well above our forecast," although revenue was modestly below, Ehrlich said. The third-quarter gross margin and fourth-quarter guidance implies that the company has reached its "intermediate gross margin target of 30%" earlier than expected, she added.
"Premium subscribers and MAU growth were also healthy in the quarter, driven by growth in all regions and aided by a recalibration of marketing activities and top of funnel health," the analyst wrote. Given its balance sheet and free cash flow generation, Spotify Technology seems to have "ample capacity for capital returns in the near future," she further stated.
Price Action: Shares of Spotify had jumped 7.64% to $451.49 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
