After a sell-off on Thursday, Nov. 14 the street seems to be betting on the defense stocks again. This comes as the conflict in the Middle East escalates and geopolitical tensions ratchet the payoffs for the stocks in this sector.
What Happened: As defense stocks become lucrative with rising tension, David Wagner, portfolio manager at Aptus Capital Advisors says that "this is more than just a geopolitical play.&#8221; He sees further upside in the defense and aerospace areas, despite current rich valuations, as per a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-08/wall-street-sees-more-room-for-defense-stocks-torrid-advance?embedded-checkout=true">Bloomberg</a> report.
As per the<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro</a> data, the S&amp;P 500 Aerospace &amp; Defense Industry Index has risen by 15.33% year-to-date, whereas Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Rtx Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) and iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (ACRA: ITA) have all outperformed the index at 17.26%, 39.09% and 20.09%, respectively in the same period.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="308" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18073042/Defense-stocks--1024x308.png" alt="" class="wp-image-652786" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18073042/Defense-stocks--1024x308.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18073042/Defense-stocks--300x90.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18073042/Defense-stocks--768x231.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18073042/Defense-stocks-.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
On a 15-year basis, Lockheed Martin has surged 603.08%, outperforming the iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF, which rose 521%. Another notable up move was seen in the shares of Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) which have zoomed by 2,806% since its listing in May 2015. During the same period, S&amp;P 500 has risen 436%, while S&amp;P 500 Aerospace &amp; Defense, which started in 2012, gained 321.57%. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18073142/Stocks-Defense-15-year-1024x576.png" alt="" class="wp-image-652789" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18073142/Stocks-Defense-15-year-1024x576.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18073142/Stocks-Defense-15-year-300x169.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18073142/Stocks-Defense-15-year-768x432.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18073142/Stocks-Defense-15-year-1536x864.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18073142/Stocks-Defense-15-year.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Why It Matters: Defense stocks, also known as haven assets, are comprised of two major sub-groups — defense and aerospace — offering investors a relatively diversified profile. While some analysts think geopolitics will tick the share prices higher, others argue their higher valuations.
Historically, defense spending runs in decades-long cycles. Investment in the sector experiences periods of growth followed by downturns, and we may be nearing the peak of the current cycle, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42013424/trumps-musk-ramaswamy-doge-plan-what-it-means-for-defense-and-it-stocks">Goldman Sachs</a> analyst Noah Poponak.
"The defense budget is at an all-time high, which creates difficult comparisons and challenging base effects," the analyst said in a note published Friday.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Risks For Defense Stocks As Per Goldman Sachs</h3>
<ol>
<li>Peak Spending: The defense budget is hovering at historical highs, making future growth difficult.</li>
<li>Geopolitical Shifts: If major conflicts ease, defense spending could decline.</li>
<li>Government Debt: U.S. debt-to-GDP ratios are near record levels, increasing pressure to curb federal spending.</li>

Speaking to Bloomberg about the fundamentals of the defense stocks, Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services said, "Valuations are rich for the group, so that may cap the upside. If the economy slows down more than expected or we see a short-term de-escalation in the Middle East that could also weigh on the group,&#8221; he added.
However, a few analysts like Cole Wilcox, portfolio manager at Longboard Asset Management said, &#8220;Unfortunately we are in a cycle of high and growing conflict around the world. This is driving increased demand for defense spending that is likely to persist for a very long time."

Just days after <a href="https://apnews.com/article/ford-nhtsa-fine-recall-slow-244e2318b794e2be10196414eba9a029">announcing a civil fine</a> against Ford for moving too slowly on a recall, the U.S. government unveiled two investigations into recalls that may not have worked or covered enough vehicles.
The largest of the probes covers about 457,000 Ford Bronco Sport SUVs and Maverick small pickups. In April <a href="https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCAK-24V267-7377.pdf">Ford recalled</a> certain 2021 through 2024 Bronco Sports and 2022 through 2023 Mavericks were recalled because they can suddenly lose power.
There have been five complaints from owners whose vehicles lost power after getting the recall fix, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a document posted Monday. The agency will investigate whether the recall was effective. The power loss has been blamed on degraded 12-volt batteries.
The other probe covers about 113,000 Ford Expeditions from 2019 through 2020. Ford <a href="https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V099-9714.PDF">recalled about 78,000 of the SUVs</a> in February because the driver and front passenger seat belts can tighten up and hold people with no crash apparent.
The agency says it has complaints about the problem occurring from three owners whose vehicles were not part of the recall. Investigators will check to see if the recall should be expanded.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a name making waves. Whether it's his stance against corporate "wokeness" or his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41998717/elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-are-looking-for-high-iq-small-government-revolutionaries-who-are-willing-to-put-in-80-hours-at-doge">ambitious political moves</a>, people have started paying attention to him.&nbsp;
But behind all the headlines, Ramaswamy has an intriguing story: a child of Indian immigrants who turned his biotech gamble into a billion-dollar fortune – all by age 38.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The American Dream</h2>
Born to Indian immigrant parents, Vivek Ramaswamy grew up with a strong work ethic. Forbes reports his dad worked as an engineer and patent attorney while his mom was a psychiatrist.&nbsp;
He didn't coast by in school – Ramaswamy graduated from Harvard with a biology degree and cofounded a startup that helped student founders pitch business ideas to investors. It wasn't a big moneymaker but gave him a taste of entrepreneurship.
After Harvard, Ramaswamy worked at QVT, a hedge fund specializing in pharmaceutical investments. By 28, he had become a partner, earning about $7 million.&nbsp;

At 29, Ramaswamy took a big swing. He left his hedge fund job to found Roivant Sciences (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROIV#NASDAQ">ROIV</a>), an investment company focused on rescuing abandoned drugs. His bet? That some forgotten treatments could still be worth billions.&nbsp;
He was right. Just a year after founding Roivant, one of its subsidiaries, Axovant, went public with a valuation of $2.2 billion. Ramaswamy had bought the Alzheimer's drug that Axovant was based on for only $5 million. While that drug ultimately didn't work out, it didn't stop Ramaswamy from scoring big elsewhere.
However, as Forbes writes, in 2020, a Japanese pharmaceutical company bought several of Roivant&#8217;s drugs for $3 billion. That sale alone made Ramaswamy an instant multimillionaire. By then, he'd pulled in about $260 million in salary, bonuses and capital gains from Roivant. He invested his gains wisely, mostly in stocks and bonds and riskier bets like Bitcoin, ethereum and Rumble, a YouTube competitor.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fighting Wokeness</h2>
In 2021, Ramaswamy decided to switch gears. He stepped down as CEO of Roivant and focused on politics. He wrote a book called Woke, Inc., where he tore into corporate America&#8217;s focus on social justice and the environment.&nbsp;
He argued that big companies forgot about making quality products and focused too much on "good PR." The book turned heads and put Ramaswamy on the map as a vocal critic of what he called "woke capitalism."
Not long after, he launched Strive Asset Management, an "anti-woke" version of BlackRock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), one of the largest asset managers in the world. Ramaswamy's firm encouraged businesses to focus on profits, not politics.&nbsp;
Investors seemed to like it; Strive was recently valued at about $300 million. Heavy hitters like Peter Thiel, Bill Ackman and Joe Lonsdale even backed it, helping Ramaswamy grow his wealth further.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Everyday Billionaire?</h2>
Ramaswamy has tried to position himself as a regular guy, unlike other wealthy figures. He's got two homes in Ohio worth $2.5 million combined, which may sound like a lot, but it&#8217;s far less than many other political figures.&nbsp;
He insists that his lifestyle is modest compared to other rich people, though he does admit to owning stakes in three private jets. "If we could buy time, we would buy time. And that's the only thing private aviation buys us. Time with family," he says.

During a campaign stop in New Hampshire, a woman thanked him, a billionaire, for visiting the "cow-town people." Ramaswamy smiled and said, "I'm one of you." He's not, of course – and that might be part of the appeal. People see someone who took big risks, succeeded and isn't apologizing for his wealth.
Now, Ramaswamy is stepping even deeper into public life. Recently, President-elect Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/emerging-markets/24/11/41905647/customer-wins-fuel-triple-digit-q3-revenue-growth-for-aeva-technologies-are-more-wins-on">appointed him and Elon Musk</a> as coheads of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a new initiative to cut government waste and slash regulations.

Polygon Labs anticipates public blockchain technology becoming essential to global financial systems, offering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/blockchain">unmatched affordability and liquidity</a>. 
However, regulatory challenges, particularly around privacy, continue to create obstacles for institutional adoption.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Regulatory Challenges in Blockchain Integration</h3>
According to Colin Butler, global head of institutional capital at Polygon Labs, regulatory concerns remain the main hurdle in aligning blockchain with established financial infrastructure.
"At Polygon, we believe that public blockchains will play a key role in the global financial infrastructure as the lowest cost, highest liquidity solution," Butler said. However, he noted that privacy concerns present a regulatory barrier to this vision, especially as financial institutions seek secure, compliant solutions.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/14004627/905735A6-57D3-4874-9AA1-75D037842DB3-1-19.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-646991" /></a></figure>
The upcoming implementation of the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation is expected to establish a structured framework for cryptocurrencies by December 2024. Butler suggested that this type of regulation could boost confidence and bring larger institutions into the digital asset space, leading to greater adoption and higher liquidity.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Institutional Demand Drives Interest in Blockchain</h4>
Butler also addressed the growing interest in blockchain from major firms like BlackRock and PayPal, attributing it to three main drivers: cost savings, revenue growth, and capital efficiencies. As these factors become increasingly important, he anticipates tailored blockchain solutions that allow financial institutions to engage with digital assets in a regulated, scalable manner. 
"Institutional interest is being driven by multiple factors, the primary among them saving costs, the secondary increasing revenues, and the tertiary being capital efficiencies," Butler explained.
As the industry awaits potential regulatory shifts, Butler's insights preview themes expected at the <a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets </a>event, where industry leaders will discuss blockchain integration into traditional finance.

Public Blockchains Set To Play A Central Role In Finance, Says Industry Executive

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41338251/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-says-we-shouldnt-put-our-heads-in-the-sand-we-have-to-find-a-better-way-to">JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon</a> warns of potential stagflation – a challenging mix of high inflation and slow growth reminiscent of the 1970s. Speaking at various events, including an interview with The Associated Press, Dimon worries inflation may rise further, with U.S. debt over $35 trillion as debt interest payments exceed essential program spending.&nbsp;

He estimates stagflation has a 35% chance, though he sees recession as more likely. He's also concerned that geopolitical conflicts and supply chain issues could worsen economic risks. With these warnings, experts urge creating a balanced financial plan to navigate possible economic challenges.
Jason Furman, a Harvard economist, suggests that flexibility in financial planning is critical, especially given that the Federal Reserve&#8217;s monetary policy may still shift as it tries to curb inflation without stifling growth.&nbsp;
According to a Reuters report, inflation in the U.S. had already declined to 2.1%, close to the Fed's 2% target, in September. This indicates a bit of success in controlling rising prices. However, Dimon believes that inflation could be more stubborn than expected, especially if wage growth continues at its current pace​

To safeguard against potential stagflation, experts recommend diversifying your portfolio. According to Greg McBride, Chief Financial Analyst at Bankrate, investing in tangible assets like gold, and fixed-rate mortgages can be a good hedge since these tend to hold their value better during inflationary periods.
Similarly, defensive stocks, particularly in sectors like consumer staples and utilities, might offer stability. For example, companies like Walmart, focusing on essential goods, could be better positioned to weather an economic slowdown.
Another prudent step is to maintain liquidity. Experts recommend keeping a healthy cash reserve, as it provides a cushion to manage unexpected expenses in a high-inflation environment.&nbsp;
Dimon has also cautioned that unchecked government spending could worsen economic instability, so it is wise to be prepared for sudden market shifts​.
In response to Dimon's warning, some financial experts suggest a cautious approach to investing. They advise diversification across asset classes like equities, bonds and commodities, which tend to perform differently under inflationary pressure.&nbsp;

However, there are differing opinions. While Dimon's warning has prompted concerns, other economists are more optimistic. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently noted that he ‘feels good' about the economy's trajectory, thanks to a series of rate cuts designed to support growth.&nbsp;
The stock market has responded positively to these measures, with gains in several sectors​.

Honest Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNST#NYSE">HNST</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.36% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.00 million shares sold short, which is 2.42% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.25 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Honest Co has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Honest Co's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Honest Co's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.59%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Peering Into Lennox Intl's Recent Short Interest

Gold futures climbed 1.6% on Monday morning in New York, on track to snap a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/11/42036300/go-for-gold-says-goldman-sachs-precious-yellow-metal-price-would-rise-in-2025-amid-central-bank-buying-fed-rate-cuts">six-session losing streak</a>.
The yellow metal&#8217;s surge came on the heels of escalating rhetoric from Moscow after reports indicated that President Joe Biden had authorized Ukraine to launch strikes on Russian territory using American-made long-range missiles.
This marks a significant policy shift by the outgoing administration ahead of Donald Trump's January inauguration.

Such strikes would represent "a qualitatively new round of tension" with the U.S., Dmitry Peskov, a spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said per Reuters.
In September, Putin had already declared that the U.S.&#8217;s allowing Ukraine to fire Western missiles into Russian territory would mean NATO's direct participation in the war.
On Monday, Peskov reiterated this stance, accusing the Biden administration of &#8220;adding fuel to the fire&#8221; as its term winds down.
Reports confirmed that thousands of North Korean troops have been deployed to Russia's Kursk region to aid Moscow's forces following a Ukrainian incursion.
The rally in gold, tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), mirrored gains across the broader commodity complex, with oil and natural gas prices also advancing.
Futures on West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil rose 0.8%, while Henry Hub U.S. natural gas futures surge by nearly 4% amid concerns over energy disruptions in Europe.
On Saturday, Gazprom, the state-controlled Russian natural gas giant, halted supplies to Austria, heightening fears of energy shortages in Europe as the winter season approaches. The decision followed Friday's rare hour-long phone call between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Putin, their first direct communication in nearly two years.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Risk-Off Sentiment Hits European Markets</h3>
The heightened geopolitical risks weighed on European equities Monday. 
The Euro Stoxx 50, broadly tracked by the SPDR DJ Euro STOXX 50 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FEZ#NYSE">FEZ</a>), fell 0.7%, while Italy's FTSE MIB, tracked by the iShares MSCI Italy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWI#NYSE">EWI</a>), was the hardest hit among major indices, sliding 1%. 
A hour ahead the Wall Street market open, futures on major U.S. indices hovered near flat, signaling caution among investors hesitant to buy the dip after last week&#8217;s declines.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 index, fell a combined 1.9% on Thursday and Friday as hawkish comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump&#8217;s potential economic policies dampened investor sentiment.

Accurate and cost-effective measurements of hydrogen gas are essential for detecting and mitigating emissions, maximizing both the climate and economic benefits of hydrogen production and utilization
Hydrogen is increasingly seen as a renewable energy source and decarbonization agent for industry and transportation
Deployment of detection systems would facilitate hydrogen production and transportation
GE Vernova's Advanced Research business has been selected by The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to receive an award as part of their new H2SENSE Exploratory Topic, aimed at supporting innovative approaches for hydrogen gas detection and quantification across the hydrogen supply chain. The growth of the hydrogen economy is anticipated to play a crucial role in global decarbonization efforts, necessitating advanced atmospheric hydrogen sensing technologies to mitigate any potential near-term warming effects that could result from a larger hydrogen economy.
Hydrogen is a low carbon energy source and decarbonization agent for industry and transportation. Hydrogen, though not a direct greenhouse gas due to its inability to absorb infrared light, can indirectly extend the lifetime of greenhouse gases such as methane and ozone.

Beyoncé will headline the halftime show for the first-ever NFL Christmas Gameday broadcast live on Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
The highly anticipated performance will occur during the second game of Netflix&#8217;s <a href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/beyonce-to-perform-at-halftime-of-ravens-texans-during-nfl-christmas-gameday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dec. 25</a> broadcast when the Houston Texans host the Baltimore Ravens at NRG Stadium at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Beyoncé&#8217;s return to her hometown of Houston marks the first live performance of songs from her Grammy-nominated album, &#8220;Cowboy Carter.&#8221;

Beyoncé&#8217;s own Parkwood Entertainment, in collaboration with Jesse Collins Entertainment, is producing the event.
Beyoncé previously headlined the Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans on Feb. 3, 2013, reuniting with her former bandmates from Destiny&#8217;s Child, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. That was the second most-watched halftime show at the time. 
She returned to the Super Bowl stage for Super Bowl L on Feb. 7, 2016, joining Coldplay and Bruno Mars in Santa Clara, California, where an impressive 115.5 million viewers tuned in to watch her get into &#8220;Formation.&#8221;
The specifics of her upcoming performance remain under wraps.
The NFL&#8217;s Christmas Day events will feature two exclusive marquee games on Netflix. At 1 p.m. ET, the Kansas City Chiefs, reigning Super Bowl LVII champions, will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers. 
This will be followed by the 4:30 PM ET game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans. Consistent with the NFL&#8217;s holiday tradition, the games will also air on broadcast TV within the local markets of the competing teams and can be streamed on U.S. mobile devices through NFL+.
Last week, Netflix <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41915397/netflix-reaches-70-million-users-on-ad-supported-plan-boosts-live-sports-ads" rel="noreferrer noopener">achieved a significant milestone</a>, revealing that its ad-supported tier now reaches 70 million monthly active users just two years after its launch. This tier has quickly gained traction, with over 50% of new sign-ups opting for the ad-supported option, driven by its affordability and popularity in available markets.
Analysts view Netflix&#8217;s strategic shift toward live and ad-supported content as a key growth driver. Bank of America highlighted its focus on ads, gaming, and live sports (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42025252/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-boxing-match-sets-record-breaking-night-for-netflix">i.e., Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul</a>) as significant strengths. 
At the same time, Macquarie noted hits like Squid Game 2 and NFL broadcasts will boost user engagement despite potential challenges in monetizing the ad tier internationally.
JPMorgan noted Netflix&#8217;s move into NFL broadcasts as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40345870/netflix-ad-price-hike-live-sports-seen-as-keys-for-growth-says-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">a strategic play</a> to boost engagement and attract a broader audience. According to the analysts, the streaming giant&#8217;s venture into live sports could increase subscriber retention and generate significant advertising revenue. By partnering with major brands like FanDuel and Verizon, Netflix aims to capitalize on the high viewership of NFL games, positioning itself as a critical player in live sports streaming.
Price Action: Netflix stock is down 0.97% at $816 at last check Monday. The streaming giant&#8217;s stock surged 76% year-to-date.
