JPMorgan Analyst Believes Sirius XM Is Fairly Valued, Downgrades To Neutral

  • JPMorgan analyst Sebastiano Petti downgraded Sirius XM Holdings Inc SIRI to Neutral from Overweight with a price target of $7, down from $8, implying an 11.3% upside. 
  • The analyst cites "softening" annual car sales and rising capital expenditures for the downgrade following management comments at recent industry conferences. 
  • With the silicon shortage likely to become "more acute in the coming quarters," Petti reduced Sirius XM's 2022 self-pay net adds to 750,000 from 1.05 million. 
  • And with the SXM 9 and SXM 10 satellite builds commencing, he meaningfully increased his 2022-2024 Capex estimates to account for $480 million of spending over those three years. 
  • Petti now believes shares of Sirius XM are fairly valued.
  • Price Action: SIRI shares traded lower by 2.23% at $6.15 in the premarket session on the last check Friday.
