This Spotify Analyst Begins Coverage On A Bullish Note; Here Are Top 5 Initiations For Friday

While Curiositystream Inc&rsquo;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURI#NASDAQ">CURI</a>) shares have rallied since mid-May, the company&rsquo;s long-term prospects have not fundamentally changed, according to BofA Securities.

The Curiositystream Analyst: Devin Brisco downgraded the rating for Curiositystream from Buy to Underperform, while keeping the price target unchanged at $14.

The Curiositystream Thesis: The stock&rsquo;s preliminary addition into the Russell 3000 index is a positive and the company is poised to benefit from 90% of its full-year revenue guidance being &ldquo;committed and contractual,&rdquo; Brisco said in the downgrade note.

He added&nbsp;there were risks and headwinds that could &ldquo;limit share price appreciation in the near/medium term.&rdquo;

The analyst enumerated these:

<ul>
	<li>Limited visibility into quarterly revenue trends till year-end and beyond</li>
	<li>High investment in efforts to drive top-line growth</li>
	<li>Gross margins are likely to contract &ldquo;as pre-licensing agreements become a larger portion of revenue mix&rdquo;</li>
	<li>Curiositystream is an early-stage company, with EBITDA missing Street expectations in each of its last three quarters as a public company</li>
	<li>Tough COVID-19 comps are expected in the second quarter, which is &ldquo;likely lead to higher DTC (direct to consumer) churn&rdquo;</li>
	<li>Peers are &ldquo;accelerating content investments and consolidating&rdquo;</li>
</ul>

CURI Price Action: Shares of Curiositystream had declined by 12.03% to $13.02 at the time of publication Friday.
