Sebastiano Petti has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors affecting Sirius XM Holdings. Despite some positive developments, such as efforts to reduce in-car churn and introduce new offerings for price-sensitive consumers, there are significant concerns about the company’s long-term growth. The potential for ARPU dilution and ongoing subscriber losses contribute to a cautious outlook.
Moreover, while the company has updated its free cash flow projections positively, these adjustments are not enough to offset the fundamental growth challenges it faces. The December 2026 price target of $19 reflects these concerns, implying a valuation that considers a 10.0% WACC and a -1% perpetual growth rate. The valuation metrics, including 6.4x 2026E EV/EBITDA and 5.1x FCF/share, further support the Sell rating, indicating limited upside potential for the stock.
