Maxim Group maintains a 'Buy' on Pandora (NYSE: P) price target of $17.00.
Analyst, John Tinker, said, "There was a 93% y/y increase in listener hours to 3.1B, as well as a record 51.9M active users – up 53% y/y. P beat both our advertising revenues estimate of $67M and the consensus estimate of $66M – suggesting that an increase in sales force (overall headcount up 58% y/y to 568) is starting to take effect in improving ad inventory monetization. Pandora reported an EBITDA loss of $13M, compared to our estimate of a loss of $17M and the consensus loss estimate of $27M."
"We are confident that P should be able to monetize its staggering active mobile user base in driving revenues over time. However, a time lag between translation of growth in listener hours to ARPU may affect earnings in the near term."
