\n\tHYBE shares soared 18.4% in the week ended Oct. 31 after a South Korean court ruled<\/a> that K-pop group NewJeans<\/a> may not leave HYBE imprint ADOR and make music under a different name. The five members of the girl group had attempted to break away from HYBE after the K-pop giant dismissed<\/a> NewJeans\u2019 mentor, ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin<\/strong>, in April 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\tRather than lose NewJeans \u2014 which would have created additional headaches for HYBE and other K-pop companies \u2014 ADOR will retain the group through the end of its exclusive contract in 2029. The fact that Min is no longer at ADOR didn\u2019t sway the court. \u201cMerely the fact that NewJeans personally places high trust in Min Hee-jin does not make guaranteeing her the position of ADOR\u2019s CEO a significant obligation under the exclusive contract,\u201d according to a report<\/a>.\u00a0The ruling added approximately $1.5 billion to HYBE\u2019s market value, suggesting that investors were fearful a court loss would spill over to other acts currently under contract with HYBE.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite HYBE\u2019s considerable gain, the 19-company Billboard Global Music Index was unchanged at 2,845.53. Music stocks were almost evenly mixed between winners and losers, and only two companies had either a gain or a loss in excess of 10%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tMusic stocks lagged behind major indexes\u2019 gains. In the U.S., the Nasdaq composite index rose 2.2% to 23,724.96 and the S&P 500 improved 0.7% to 6,840.20. The U.K.\u2019s FTSE 100 rose 0.7% to 9,717.25. South Korea\u2019s KOSPI composite index jumped 4.2% to 4,107.50 on AI optimism after Samsung announced it would build a semiconductor factory<\/a> in partnership with American company Nvidia. China\u2019s Shanghai Composite Index ticked upward 0.1% to 3,954.79.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSiriusXM shares finished the week up 1.4% to $21.69 after a see-saw end to the week. The stock gained 10.1% on Thursday (Oct. 30) after the company\u2019s third-quarter results<\/a>, but fell 6.5% on Friday (Oct. 31). The bump in share price came after SiriusXM increased its full-year forecasts for revenue, EBITDA and free cash flow. The Q3 results also showed that the satellite radio company, which also owns streaming platform Pandora, turned a net loss into a net profit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tUniversal Music Group Q3 2025 Earnings Highlights: YouTube Deal, Udio Partnership Talk &\u00a0More\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tUniversal Music Group shares fell 2.3% to 23.27 euros ($26.99) despite gaining 1% on Friday after the company reported solid Q3 earnings<\/a> following the close of trading on Thursday. Following the results, J.P. Morgan reiterated its \u201coverweight\u201d rating and 39.00 euros ($45.23) price target while Guggenheim maintained its \u201cneutral\u201d rating and eliminated its price target, which was previously 27.00 euros ($31.32).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSpotify\u2019s stock benefited from news that the company is raising prices<\/a> in the U.K., finishing the week up 1.5% to $655.32. That modest gain helped Spotify reclaim some of the loss it suffered after the share price dropped 4.1% on Oct. 24. The Stockholm-based company will report Q3 earnings on Tuesday (Nov. 4).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tRadio giant iHeartMedia was the week\u2019s biggest loser after dropping 12.4% to $2.97. The company\u2019s share price has been on a roll lately, though, gaining 39.4% in 2025. iHeartMedia will release Q3 earnings on Nov. 10.<\/p>\n

\n\tMost live music stocks lost ground. Live Nation fell 2.2% to $149.53 ahead of its earnings results on Tuesday. German promoter CTS Eventim dropped 2.9% to 77.60 euros ($90.00). MSG Entertainment dipped 3.5% to $44.16. Sphere Entertainment Co. was an exception, rising 1.7% to $68.48.\u00a0<\/p>\n
