Shares rallied more than 100% in late 2020 and early 2021, but went into a steep decline during the 2022 bear market after the company failed to reign in costs and reach profitability. Meanwhile, 2023 has been a lot kinder to shareholders, with the stock up 85% year to date (YTD) as of this writing -- likely due to the general bull market, cost-cutting measures from management, and impressive first-quarter growth numbers for the music and audio streaming platform.

The move affects about 2% of the music-streaming giant's workforce and aligns Spotify with the likes of Meta Platforms and Roku, which have also cut jobs for the second time in response to an uncertain economy. Spotify had spent aggressively to build up its podcast business in recent years, hoping the higher engagement levels offered by the format will bring in more advertisers.
