Maxim Group maintains a 'Buy' on Pandora (NYSE: P) price target of $17.00.

Maxim analyst said, "We are maintaining our rating as we believe that the higher listening hours – about 5.55% of all radio listening (up from 2.71% in FY11) should over the long term translate into more advertising revenue."

"We are lowering our 1Q13 revenue estimate to $76M (up 49% y/y and down 6% q/q) from our prior estimate of $101M, and our estimated EBITDA loss of $17M, lower than our prior estimate of EBITDA profit of $2M. Effectively, we are also lowering our FY13 revenue forecast to $433M (up 58% y/y), down from our prior estimate of $442M...Our new FY14 and FY15 EBITDA estimates are $32M and $43M from prior estimates of $22M and $27M. Pandora, in our view, should grow advertising revenues at a much faster rate than content cost in FY14 and FY15."
