The Swedish music streaming company is updating prices across South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region, according to a statement on Monday. Over the next month, customers will receive an email outlining the new price plan.

- Tyson (TSN)'s top boss said a long-awaited push to rebuild the US cattle herd will begin “in earnest” next year — though the meat producer doesn’t expect to benefit before 2028. Signs that ranchers are starting to retain heifers for breeding are setting a stronger outlook for Tyson’s money-losing beef business, even as it will take another couple of years for the move to translate into increased supplies of slaughter-weight animals, Chief Executive Officer Donnie King said on Monday. Rebuilding the US herd is essential for beef producers. For years, ranchers have slashed herd sizes due to high interest rates, expensive feed and persistent drought. That has created the worst shortage in decades, pushing cattle prices to record highs and squeezing profits as processors struggle to pass on higher costs to consumers. Shares rose during trading today.
