Spotify’s First Quarter Under New Co-CEOs Highlights Growth Strain

The company’s expansion into fitness and more comes as growth questions emerge under its new co-CEOs.

Spotify’s latest earnings underscored a new challenge for the Swedish streaming giant: sustaining growth.

As the new leadership charts Spotify’s next phase, they are leaning heavily into expanding the platform beyond music, betting that a broader content ecosystem can drive deeper engagement even as growth shows signs of strain.
