| 08:28 EDT |  | P, AAPL, MSFT, SIRI | Pandora upside likely capped with potential Apple threat, says Piper Jaffray
Piper Jaffray believes potential competition from Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT), combined with the recent news of Xbox re-launching its music service, will likely limit upside in shares of Pandora (P). Piper finds reports of Apple's possible entry into streaming music as troublesome for Pandora given Pandora's lack of exclusivity of music content and difficulty differentiating the service. However, Piper recommends using the modest pullback in Sirius XM (SIRI) shares as a buying opportunity, saying the company has a differentiated offering and strong business model. Note JPMorgan this morning recommended using yesterday's pullback in shares of Pandora as a buying opportunity. |
