\n\tG<\/span>ains by some live entertainment stocks and solid performances by multi-sector companies were overshadowed this week by German concert promoter CTS Eventim\u2019s double-digit decline and a more modest single-digit drop from Spotify.<\/p>\n

\n\tCTS Eventim shares fell 16.6% to 81.20 euros ($95.18) this week following Thursday\u2019s mid-year results<\/a> that showed a sharp decrease in adjusted EBITDA despite the concert promoter achieving record revenue. Numerous analysts reacted by decreasing their price targets. The most drastic revision came from Oddo BHF, which reduced its price target to 86 euros ($100.81) from 117 euros ($137.15) and downgraded its rating to \u201cneutral\u201d from \u201coutperform.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition, Bernstein lowered its CTS Eventim price target to 100 euros ($117.22) from 104 euros ($121.91) and maintained its \u201coutperform\u201d rating. Deutsche Bank dropped its price target to 109 euros ($127.77) from 117 euros ($137.15) but kept its \u201cbuy\u201d rating. MWB Research lowered its price target to 100 euros ($117.22) from 105 euros ($123.08) and upgraded its rating to \u201cbuy\u201d from \u201chold.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Billboard Global Music Index (BGMI) dropped 2.6% to 3,023.51, breaking a two-week winning streak and lowering the index\u2019s year-to-date gain to 42.3%. Winners outnumbered losers 10 to 8, and one company, Deezer, was unchanged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
