\n\tMusic stocks fell sharply this week amidst concerns about the ongoing U.S federal government shutdown, as President Trump\u2019s latest threat<\/a> to levy \u201cmassive\u201d tariffs on goods produced in China dragged down markets on Friday (Oct. 10).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly three stocks \u2014 Spotify, JYP Entertainment and HYBE \u2014 in the 19-company Billboard Global Music Index (BGMI) finished the week ended Oct. 10 with gains. Dragged down by numerous losses near or greater than 10%, the BGMI fell 1.9% to 2,899.73, its third consecutive weekly decline.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tMusic stocks fared better than major U.S. indexes, though. The Nasdaq dropped 2.5% and the S&P 500 fell 2.4%. However, foreign exchanges that are less exposed to the U.S. trade war with China were better off. The U.K.\u2019s FTSE 100 rose 0.7% to 9,427.47. South Korea\u2019s KOSPI composite index jumped 1.7% to 3,610.60, and China\u2019s Shanghai Composite Index improved 0.4% to 3,897.03.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tJust as the KOSPI outperformed other indexes, K-pop companies were the best-performing music stocks of the week. JYP Entertainment\u2019s 2.2% gain made it the week\u2019s best performer. Fellow K-pop company HYBE was close behind with a 1.9% increase. SM Entertainment posted only a slight loss of 0.6%.<\/p>\n

\n\tStreaming services performed relatively well as a group. Spotify eked out a 0.7% gain, raising its year-to-date increase to 46.9%. Deezer managed a modest 0.9% decline to 1.16 euros ($1.35) while Netease Cloud Music fell just 1.2% to 253.00 HKD ($32.51). Tencent Music Entertainment dropped 2.0% to $22.44.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSiriusXM was the week\u2019s biggest loser, falling 10.1% to $20.93. The loss turned a slight year-to-date gain into a 6.4% loss in 2025. The next-worst decline came from iHeartMedia, which fell 9.8% to $2.59 after numerous<\/a> news<\/a> outlets<\/a> reported layoffs at iHeart radio stations around the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tLive Nation dipped 2.1% to $152.96, lowering its year-to-date gain to 18.1%. Earlier in the week, Wolfe Research increased<\/a> its price target to $180 from $177 and maintained its \u201coutperform\u201d rating on Live Nation shares. After finishing the week ended Sept. 12 at $173.73, Live Nation shares have fallen for four consecutive weeks and lost 12.0% of their value. Some of that decline could be attributed to the Federal Trade Commission lawsuit <\/a>filed on Sept. 18, but other live music stocks have dropped, too.<\/p>\n

\n\tSphere Entertainment Co. had a rare losing week, falling 6.3% to $58.98. Earlier in the week, BTIG initiated coverage<\/a> of Sphere Entertainment Co. with a \u201cneutral\u201d rating. Sphere shares are up 38.9% year to date and have jumped 47.9% in the last eight weeks. Sister company MSG Entertainment was the week\u2019s third-worst performer, falling 8.4% to $41.77.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGerman concert promoter and ticketing company CTS Eventim dropped 4.7% to 79.25 euros ($92.10). The company\u2019s recent downturn has mirrored that of Live Nation. After four consecutive losing weeks, CTS Eventim\u2019s stock price has fallen 8.8%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOutside of K-pop, multi-sector companies \u2014 recorded music, publishing, merchandise and more \u2014 had an unusually poor week. Universal Music Group (UMG) fell 7.2% to 23.16 euros ($26.92). Warner Music Group dropped 5.3% to $32.08. Reservoir Media was down 2.3% to $7.60.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly a few companies have announced the dates for their third-quarter earnings releases. SiriusXM and UMG will be first out of the gate on Oct. 30, followed by Spotify on Nov. 4. \u00a0<\/p>\n
