Pandora (P) 3Q Hit by Apple (AAPL) Music Launch; FBR Capital Cuts Price Target to $10
FBR Capital maintained an Underperform rating on Pandora (NYSE: P), and cut the price target to $10.00 (from $11.00), as Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) Music launch negatively effected 3Q results. Pandora sees this as a temporary phenomenon that will fade as the launch push for Apple Music goes away.
Analyst Barton Crockett commented, "We expected a modest impact from the Apple Music launch, but it turned out to be more fundamentally challenging than we thought, prompting us to take our price target down by $1.00, to $10.00, and to retain our Underperform rating."
