Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Communication Services / Internet Media & Services. Price $600.09, market value $123.4 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 36.6×** (5-yr avg 68.3×, 3-yr avg 68.3×). Spotify Technology S.A. trades at 36.6× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 68.3×: cheap by its own standards. The Communication Services median in the September 2026 study was 21.1×. Forward P/E is 35.1×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.38**. A PEG of 0.38 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 5.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 5.9×.
- **Price / book: 12.6×**. The shares trade at 12.6× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 29.8×**. Enterprise value is 29.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.9%** (5-yr avg 1.5%). Free cash flow equals 2.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of 1.5%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
