Sirius XM Holdings (NASDAQ:SIRI) Stock

Sirius XM Holdings

Sirius XM operates almost exclusively in the US through its SiriusXM and Pandora audio services. SiriusXM is primarily a satellite radio service, which offers nationwide coverage and mostly ad-free listening, with proprietary channels and exclusive content. It makes agreements with automakers to install its radios in vehicles and give trial services to vehicle buyers, which have traditionally fed its subscriber base. The company operates the service through a handful of geostationary satellites that it owns and operates, but it now offers a streaming SiriusXM option as well. Pandora, which makes up a much smaller portion of revenue and profit, offers a subscription and ad-supported streaming music service that competes with industry giants like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.

The company has a modest dividend yield of 4.20% with a market capitalization of $8.759 billion, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>. Further, Sirius is valued at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 8.446 as compared to the industry average of 25.750, which makes it over three times less expensive than its peers.
However, Benzinga Pro data suggests that the shares of the company slumped by 58.46% in 2024 and it has fallen by 48.60% over the last year.

Why It Matters: Apart from the decline in 2024, the 18 analysts tracking the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SIRI/analyst-ratings">according to Benzinga</a> have a consensus &#8216;hold&#8217; rating on the stock.
Most recently, Rosenblatt cut the company&#8217;s target price from $29 to $24 per share on Feb. 3 maintaining a &#8216;neutral&#8217; rating, whereas Barrington Research slashed the price from $30 to $28 apiece on Jan. 31, with an &#8216;outperform&#8217; rating.

Guggenheim lowered its price target to $29 from $30, maintaining a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating on Jan. 31, as reported <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/guggenheim-cuts-siriusxm-target-to-29-maintains-buy-rating-93CH-3837323">by</a> Investing.com.

The ratings from Rosenblatt, Barrington Research, and Guggenheim suggest a $27 target, implying a potential upside of 4.25%.

Spotlight on Sirius XM Holdings: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) CEO Warren Buffett was able to once again beat the performance of the S&amp;P 500 in 2024, which came as he sold shares of several of his larger positions and added to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/42832123/warren-buffett-beats-sp-500-in-2024-how-oracle-of-omahas-returns-compare-over-past-20-years"> his cash balance.</a>
Buffett isn't buying much, but one stock continues to catch his attention.
What Happened: Buffett has invested <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40652464/warren-buffett-celebrates-94th-birthday-with-1-trillion-market-cap-milestone-a-look-back-at-hig">in value stocks </a>over the years, preferring this method of investing in companies trading below their value over investing in unprofitable growth stocks.
This might explain why Buffett could be the reason Berkshire Hathaway is scooping up more shares of satellite radio company Sirius XM Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIRI#NASDAQ">SIRI</a>).
A new SEC <a href="https://investor.siriusxm.com/sec-filings/all-sec-filings##document-6883-0000950170-25-012600-2">filing </a>showed Berkshire Hathaway purchased 2,308,119 shares for around $54 million from Jan. 30 through Feb. 3.
The purchases came after Sirius XM Holdings reported fourth-quarter financial results that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43345721/sirius-xm-q4-earnings-beats-estimates-ceo-highlights-focus-on-in-car-subscriptions-ad-supported-growth">beat analyst estimates.</a>
Berkshire Hathaway now owns 119,776,692 Sirius XM shares — around 35.4% of the company, as reported by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/02/04/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-scoops-up-more-sirius-xm-boosting-stake-to-35percent.html">CNBC</a>.
The firm first bought Liberty Media stocks in 2016. It later added to its Sirius XM-specific stake in 2024 as Liberty underwent changes to its public holding companies.
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43419547/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-52">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Buffett has not publicly commented on Sirius XM Holdings. It&#8217;s also unclear whether it&#8217;s him or another Berkshire investor buying the shares.
Berkshire Hathaway also added Sirius XM shares in December. The move came as the Buffett-led conglomerate held its cash and sat on the sidelines of the stock market.
Sirius XM stock is down 52% over the last year. This could make the stock a value play with the right financials.
During the fourth-quarter results, Sirius XM CEO Jennifer Witz put an emphasis on the company prioritizing its in-car subscription business, leveraging streaming capabilities and growing its ad-supported audio.
The company currently trades with a price-to-earnings ratio of 7.03x and has a price-to-sales ratio of 0.96x, both considered cheap for value stocks.
Investors are eagerly awaiting public comments from Buffett on why Berkshire Hathaway is a big buy from the company. Until then, investors may just have to invest alongside the Oracle of Omaha or take a wait and see approach.
Price Action: Sirius XM Holdings stock trades at $24.62 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $20.47 to $51.80.

Wells Fargo Maintains Underweight on Sirius XM Holdings, Lowers Price Target to $16

Wall Street began Tuesday&#8217;s session on a weaker note, with major indices slipping after November's robust retail sales report reignited investor concerns that the Federal Reserve might hold back interest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42514008/fed-poised-to-cut-interest-rates-by-0-25-this-week-heres-why-your-focus-should-shift-to-other-signals">rate cuts next year. </a>
The data, which underscored resilient consumer spending heading into the holiday season, added a fresh layer of uncertainty to the Fed's future rate path ahead of Wednesday&#8217;s highly awaited December Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
Retail sales surged 0.7% last month, outperforming consensus estimates of a 0.5% increase and marking a notable acceleration from October's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42529956/november-retail-sales-soar-to-11-month-highs-indicate-strong-holiday-season">upwardly revised 0.5% gain. </a>
On an annual basis, sales climbed 3.8%, hitting their fastest pace since December 2023. A significant portion of the strength came from auto sales, which soared 2.6% on a monthly basis and by a robust 6.5% year-over-year, highlighting consumers' willingness to make big-ticket purchases in the fourth quarter of the year.
Spending was also robust in other categories. Nonstore retailers, driven by e-commerce activity, posted a 1.8% monthly gain, reflecting the growing dominance of online shopping as the holiday season commenced. Sporting goods, hobby, and book stores registered a 0.9% uptick, showing steady demand for discretionary items.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction: Pressure Builds On Equities</h3>
The stronger-than-expected data put equity markets under pressure, as investors recalibrated their expectations for the Fed's next moves. 
The S&amp;P 500 index – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – and Dow Jones Industrial Average both fell 0.7%, while the Nasdaq 100 – tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) – slid 0.8%, weighed down by weakness in the chip sector. 
Semiconductor stocks led the downturn amid renewed geopolitical tensions after reports surfaced that China is broadening antitrust scrutiny on U.S. chipmakers&#8217; acquisitions in recent years. Last week, Beijing opened an investigation on U.S. chip giant Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) 2019 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Face Fed Uncertainty</h3>
The robust retail sales data is the latest in a series of reports—alongside <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/12/42460477/producer-inflation-rises-more-than-expected-to-3-in-november-cast-shadow-on-further-disinflation-progress">hotter-than-expected inflation prints</a> and upbeat <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42511277/us-services-sector-booms-at-fastest-pace-since-october-2021-business-activity-leaps-to-over-two-year-highs">December Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys</a>—that challenge the case for aggressive rate cuts next year.
While a 25-basis-point reduction at the Fed's policy meeting this week is widely anticipated, the central bank's outlook for 2025 remains in question.
Fed fund futures now suggest an 80% chance the Fed will hold rates steady at its January meeting, while expectations for a March rate cut have softened, with odds slipping to 58% from 60% a day earlier.
Betting-implied odds from CFTC-regulated Kalshi continue to suggest an elevated 92% probability of four cuts next year, yet financial markets now imply only three rate cuts.
