The company’s revenue was also ahead of the mark as analysts were projecting the online streaming service provider to rake in revenue of $373 million for its second quarter. Analysts see Pandora as bringing in adjusted earnings of 6 cents per share during its third quarter of the fiscal year.
Wall Street also forecasts that the company will bring in revenue of $395 million for its third quarter. Pandora will discuss its own guidance during the earnings call later today.
