The company said that for its current quarter, which ends in April it expected to loose 18 to 21 cents per share while analysts expected the company to loose 2 cents per share.<\/p>\n<p>Pandora (P) forecasted current quarterly revenue to come in between $72 million and $75 million. This is much lower than the $86.5 million forecasted by analysts. The company also expects a loss for its fiscal year ending in January 2013 versus the 3 cents a share profit forecasted by analysts. The annual revenue forecast of $410 million to $420 million also fell short of consensus estimates.<\/p>\n<p>For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 Pandora (P) said total revenue was $81.3 million, a 71% year-over-year increase. \u00a0Advertising revenue was $72.1 million, a 74% year-over-year increase. Subscription and other revenue was $9.2 million, a 51% year-over-year increase. Adjusted net loss per share was ($0.03).

But it&#8217;s taking longer than expected to generate revenue from its increasingly popular mobile service, said Citi analyst Mark Mahaney. The longer-than-expected timeframe, coupled with Pandora&#8217;s rising content costs, is a problem, he added. Mahaney cut his rating for Pandora to &#8220;Neutral&#8221; from &#8220;Buy.&#8221; He also slashed his price target on the shares by $8, or 32 percent, to $17.<\/p>\n<p>More Posts by this author<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-headed-for-a-second-straight-higher-finish-2\/22397\"><br \/>\nStocks Headed for a Second Straight Higher Finish<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/gold-and-silver-prices-continue-to-climb-5\/22392\"><br \/>\nGold and Silver Prices Continue to Climb<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-extend-gains-in-mid-day-trading-18\/22390\"><br \/>\nStocks Extend Gains in Mid-Day Trading<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/exxonmobil-plans-five-year-investment-of-185-billion-xom\/22386\"><br \/>\nExxonMobil &#8211; Plans Five-Year Investment of $185 Billion &#8211; XOM<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/adp-adp-to-acquire-the-human-resource-solutions-subsidiary-of-shps\/22383\"><br \/>\nADP (ADP) &#8211; To acquire the human resource solutions subsidiary of SHPS<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/overstock-com-stock-manipulation-suit-ostk\/22380\"><br \/>\nOverstock.com &#8211; Stock manipulation suit &#8211; OSTK<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/hot-stocks-to-watch\/mac-gray-corporation-fifth-consecutive-quarter-of-yoy-revenue-growth-tuc\/22378\"><br \/>\nMac-Gray Corporation &#8211; Fifth consecutive quarter of YOY revenue growth &#8211; TUC<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<table style=\"border:none;margin:0;\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5.jpg\" alt=\"edliston\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"photo\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><b>Post Written By: Ed Liston <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:10pt;\">\n<p>Ed Liston is a senior contributing editor at TheStockMarketWatch.com.
