Dernières nouvelles pour Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) Stock

NETFLIX INC

Netflix

Netflix's relatively simple business model involves only one business, its streaming service. It has the biggest television entertainment subscriber base in both the United States and the collective international market, with more than 300 million subscribers globally. Netflix has exposure to nearly the entire global population outside of China. The firm has traditionally avoided a regular slate of live programming or sports content, instead focusing on on-demand access to episodic television, movies, and documentaries. The firm introduced ad-supported subscription plans in 2022, giving the firm exposure to the advertising market in addition to the subscription fees that have historically accounted for nearly all its revenue.

When you use&nbsp;<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/difference-between-fundamental-and-technical-analysis/">fundamental analysis</a>&nbsp;to estimate the value of a stock, you have to make a lot of projections.
How quickly will the sales grow? Will profit margins expand or contract? What will the company's capital structure look like, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/84489088/a-bunch-of-ways-higher-interest-rates-are-bad">where will interest rates go</a>? Where will tax rates be in the future?
If the projections you put into your valuation model are off, then the value you calculate will be off. Analysts call this phenomenon "<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/price-sensitive-to-earnings-multiple-assumptions">garbage in, garbage out.</a>"
To demonstrate how difficult this exercise is, let's try projecting the sales for A1 Widgets Corporation, a hypothetical company that's the worldwide leader in selling indestructible widgets. Based on A1's order book, sales for widgets will grow for exactly five years. In the fifth year, everyone in the world who will ever need a widget will have one. From there, there will be no more demand for widgets, and the widget factories will close.
What will A1's sales look like after the fifth year?
If you said $0, then you'd be wrong.
Because A1's owners and management had the foresight to quietly gain a foothold in the emerging cloud infrastructure and AI technology businesses. As a result, the company will soon see more sales and growth than ever before. Earnings will eclipse what they made selling widgets. And the stock price will explode.
No, this was not a trick question.
There are countless examples of companies expanding into or outright pivoting to businesses that no one could've foreseen.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buying a stock is about more than investing in a company's product &#x1f914;</h2>
Having a great product to sell isn't enough to have a business that'll generate a great return for shareholders for many years to come.
You also must have stellar management with a killer instinct for allocating capital.
Not only does management have to figure out how to sell the company's core product for growth and profitability, but they also have to be able to read the tea leaves and recognize when the tides of business are turning. Maybe the market for the product is saturated. Maybe the product is becoming obsolete. Maybe customer preferences are shifting with technological developments. Maybe there are other significant opportunities to pursue, and the company has both the finances and expertise to capitalize on them.
Most companies continually make subtle adjustments that often go largely unnoticed. Some completely overhaul their business.
Take Berkshire Hathaway, which was a textile company when Warren Buffett took over it in 1965. Not long after, Berkshire became an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nationalindemnity.com/about-us/geico.html">insurance company</a>&nbsp;that also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sees.com/about-us/corporate">sold candy</a>. Today, it's a diversified conglomerate selling everything from energy to airplane parts to underwear. And it has a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/warren-buffett-on-picking-stocks">massive stock portfolio</a>&nbsp;generating market-beating returns. (I discussed Berkshire's culture of change in a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/162841568/watch">recent appearance on Yahoo Finance</a>.)
Another famous example of a company that's undergone a total transformation is Netflix. The company defined change when it introduced DVD rentals by mail while many consumers were still walking the aisles of brick-and-mortar video stores. While it dominated the mail-based rental business, management quickly shifted its efforts and aggressively invested in streaming services and original content. In 2023, Netflix&nbsp;<a href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-dvd-the-final-season">mailed its last DVD</a>. The&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NFLX/">stock</a>&nbsp;currently trades at an all-time high, with the company valued at over $500 billion.

Last week, I was on&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/video/understanding-valuation-investors-often-miss-100002273.html">Yahoo Finance's "Stocks in Translation"</a>&nbsp;podcast with Jared Blikre and Sydnee Fried. (Catch it on&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/video/understanding-valuation-investors-often-miss-100002273.html">Yahoo Finance</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/understanding-valuation-what-investors-often-miss/id1749117130?i=1000712248093">Apple Podcasts</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1C8YlWo91KwlJA9A7PZf3k">Spotify</a>, or&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCr8bSl53lE">YouTube</a>!) Jared brought up Apple, which generated&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/fy2024-q4/FY24_Q4_Consolidated_Financial_Statements.pdf">$96 billion in sales</a>&nbsp;from services.
Here's what I said about Apple during our discussion:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">If we were having a conversation about valuations 25 years ago when Apple was only making desktop computers, [you would ask] how many computers can they sell before you hit a ceiling? And so if you&#8217;re only thinking about investing in a company that only makes computers, then yeah, it might not make sense to pay a premium on the stock that you&#8217;re buying. But if you can be a little bit more imaginative, and if you understand that this is a company that understands change and tweaks its business model as the world changes, and as it reaches a saturation point, then you can begin to imagine a path where a company can continue grow earnings like Apple has and turn into a multi-trillion dollar company.
</blockquote>
Apple's Mac computers account for less than a tenth of the company's sales. Meanwhile, phones, a category they didn't get into until 2007, account for about half of sales. Services account for about a quarter of sales.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It's even harder than you think &#x1fae0;</h2>
Acknowledging that your best product has matured and may be on a path to obsolescence is a tough pill to swallow. That said, once you've come to this realization, the hard part is likely just beginning.
Those leading the change will inevitably be met with resistance, not just outside the company, but also inside the company, where many employees won't be ready to let go of the old way of doing things.
Even assuming you have the full buy-in of the company, who knows if you're pivoting in the right direction? You very well could be trading one failing business for another that's doomed to go sideways.
Of course, even the most successful companies have made many bets that have gone bad. The difference between companies that can and can't move past these failures is great risk management and the confidence of shareholders.
But if you fail enough times, you'll eventually lose the faith of the shareholders.
No one ever said any of this was easy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How investors can play this &#x1f4b8;</h2>
Every publicly traded company is doing everything it can to make sure earnings will grow, perhaps in a way that leads to market-beating returns in the company's stock price.
<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/best-performing-stocks-experience-large-max-drawdowns">But many disappoint</a>.
Unfortunately, there isn't a surefire way to identify winners&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/spiva-persistence-2024-past-performance-no-guarantee">consistently</a>&nbsp;enough that you can build a portfolio that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/spiva-2024-active-managers-underperform-benchmark">outperforms the market</a>.
One of the reasons for this is that over time, it's a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/warren-buffett-on-picking-stocks">minority of stocks with massive returns</a>&nbsp;driving the market's performance.
So, how can investors play this?
Historically, one of the best moves has been to buy broadly diversified index funds like those tracking the S&amp;P 500. While the diversification may limit your upside, it also makes it almost certain that you'll have exposure to the big winners, including the companies that successfully pivot their businesses in ways that create massive amounts of shareholder value.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A quick personal note…</h2>
The evolution of many companies isn't too dissimilar from the ups and downs many of us face in our lives.
As I recently shared with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/sam-ro-on-joes-happy-hour-may-2025">Joe Fahmy on his podcast</a>, my entry to writing about markets was anything but planned and orderly. And over the span of my career, I experienced&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/backwards-financial-decisions">at least six major pay cuts</a>, including one big one that occurred after I got laid off.
Few of us are lucky enough to live a life where everything goes up and to the right in a smooth, straight line.
But most of us are on a non-linear path, whether by choice or because of forces outside our control.
The good news is that just because things don't go as planned doesn't mean we're doomed to spiral. Read enough biographies (and business case studies), and you'll eventually see that the most impressive people (and companies) were the ones who had to overcome many challenges by making big, unplanned changes.
Just a thought.

Sometimes, The Best Business Decision Is To Change Businesses

Moments Lab, a Paris-based AI startup focused on revolutionizing video production,<a href="https://www.momentslab.com/blog/moments-lab-raises-24-million-in-fresh-funding"> announced</a> on June 3 that it raised $24 million in Series B funding to expand its technology that automates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45335277/trump-calls-hollywoods-decline-a-national-security-threat-orders-a-100-tariff-on-foreign-films">Hollywood</a> editing workflows for companies like Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Hearst, and Warner Bros.

The fresh capital injection brings the company's total funding to $37.4 million,<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pitch-deck-ai-startup-moments-lab-raised-millions-media-video-2025-6"> Business Insider</a> reports. According to Moments Lab, the round was led by Oxx, with additional support from Orange Ventures, Kadmos, Supernova Invest, and Elaia Partners. Founded in 2016 by twin brothers Philippe and Fred Petitpont, Moments Lab helps entertainment companies accelerate video production using its patented AI technologies.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Agentic AI Tools Redefine How Hollywood Edits Video</h2>
Moments Lab's flagship product, MXT-2, uses multimodal AI to instantly break videos into meaningful scenes by identifying who appears, what is happening, and where it's taking place. The company says it also extracts the most relevant soundbites from interviews, speeches, and press conferences with greater efficiency and precision than human editors.
Its latest development, an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45783322/amazon-launches-new-agentic-ai-group-to-boost-robotics-enhance-user-interactions">agentic AI</a> tool, turns raw video footage into rough cuts using simple prompts, dramatically cutting down manual editing time. According to Business Insider, this new tool is currently being tested by Hearst, and executives say its most promising application is in the fast-paced world of reality TV.
Philippe Petitpont told Business Insider that media companies are under pressure to meet content demands from streamers like Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), Amazon Prime Video, and Peacock, while reducing production costs at the same time. Moments Lab's solution helps them meet those demands without compromising output.

&#8220;The demand from Netflix, Amazon&#8217;s Prime Video, Peacock, is so strong that production companies need to produce more content than ever before, and they don&#8217;t have more money to produce a show,&#8221; Petitpont told Business Insider. &#8220;Being able to produce at lower cost is more important than ever. That&#8217;s where they&#8217;re interested in using new approaches.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Moments Lab is Monetizing Unused Footage</h2>
The company's AI model has been trained on 1.5 billion assets, including open-source data and content from participating partners in its research consortium, Business Insider says. According to Petitpont, clients have doubled their social media revenue by using the platform to repurpose archival footage.
Moments Lab aims to empower brands to extract more value from their content libraries through AI-generated trailers, highlight reels, and even full-length documentaries. According to Business Insider, one financial media client reportedly plans to reduce the number of human editors as a result of the automation capabilities provided by the platform.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scaling with Compliance in a Rights-Protected Industry</h2>
The company operates in a sector that remains cautious about copyright and labor rights. One of the biggest challenges in client onboarding, Petitpont told Business Insider, is convincing legal teams that their intellectual property will not be used to train the AI model. Moments Lab ensures all training data comes from legally cleared sources, including media companies involved in its research partnership program.
Moments Lab says that it plans to invest the fresh capital into expanding its U.S. operations and further developing its agentic AI suite. While the company has not made predictions about industry-wide trends, it says that its tools address the rising demand for efficiency across video production workflows.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

While Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Jensen Huang has been somewhat of a controversial figure in the quantum computing space, his comments earlier this week sparked enthusiasm for the sector. One of the top beneficiaries was Quantum Computing Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>), which specializes in the development of integrated photonic quantum machines. Still, with QUBT stock enjoying a tremendous run, technical and statistical concerns exist regarding sustainability.
On Wednesday, Huang remarked that quantum computers are on the cusp of being able to solve complex, real-world problems that classical computers cannot address. In particular, the Nvidia CEO highlighted how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45885805/nvidias-jensen-huang-sparks-quantum-stock-frenzy">quantum computers process information in fundamentally new ways</a> relative to traditional computers, paving the way for their road to practical applications.
It's a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44433571/jensen-huang-admits-mistake-says-i-was-wrong-about-quantum-computing-at-gtc-apology-fails-to-lift-rigetti-ionq-d-wave-qubt">sharp pivot</a> from Huang's comments about the innovation in January this year, when he suggested that quantum computers' practical utility was about 15 to 30 years away. At the time, the commentary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42867168/nvidias-jensen-huang-said-something-that-has-all-quantum-computing-stocks-tumbling-qubt-and-rgti-down-13-ionq-down-11">sank securities in the ecosystem</a>, with QUBT stock among the worst-hit names. In fairness, Huang in March stated that he was wrong to jump the gun on the rather pessimistic take on the sector.
Nevertheless, the head executive's original cautiousness may have a point. Although quantum computers are undoubtedly innovative and revolutionary, their ultimate utility is limited to specific <a href="https://introtoquantum.org/essentials/myths/">applications</a>. Essentially, classical computers speak in a binary code but quantum computers speak in probabilities, utilizing complex rules and dynamics from quantum physics.
As such, they're groundbreaking for solving problems that are probabilistic or quantum in nature. However, the issue is that quantum bits (qubits) that undergird the machines are highly sensitive, requiring <a href="https://news.mit.edu/2023/new-way-quantum-computing-systems-keep-their-cool-0221">extreme</a> conditions — such as near absolute zero temperatures — to operate.
In other words, there's a lot of justified optimism baked into QUBT stock — along with potentially a lot of hype.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Winning Streak For QUBT Stock May Be A Bit Too Hot</h2>
Part of the problem regarding buying QUBT stock based on Huang's continued about-face on the underlying sector is that, by the time retail investors are reading the comments, the optimism has already been priced in. Unless there is another positive catalyst around the corner, bidding up QUBT — which is historically volatile — presents risks.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1002" height="600" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/13151636/QUBT-stock-double-top.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-949653" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/13151636/QUBT-stock-double-top.jpg 1002w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/13151636/QUBT-stock-double-top-300x180.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/13151636/QUBT-stock-double-top-768x460.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1002px) 100vw, 1002px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by TradingView</figcaption></figure>
From the perspective of technical analysis, the security appears to be forming a double-top formation. In late December through early January, the bulls attempted to fuel the remarkable rally that transpired several weeks prior. Unfortunately for them, the market corrected severely, with Huang's initial skepticism not helping matters. QUBT stock is back again at those levels but it's not clear where the next catalyst is. Subsequently, traders may be tempted to back out.
It must be said that technical analysis is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-you-need-to-know-about-technical-analysis">visual representation of market behavior</a>. As such, the interpretive value is largely heuristic. But from an empirical standpoint, QUBT stock also appears to be on shaky ground.
Assuming that the security closes around the $16.50 level today, QUBT will have printed eight non-consecutive up weeks over the last 10 weeks. Since Quantum Computing's debut as a namesake industry participant — the <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/7/11/1535931/0/en/Innovative-Beverage-Group-Holdings-Inc-Announces-Corporate-Name-Change-to-Quantum-Computing-Inc-to-Reflect-Shift-in-Business-Focus-Symbol-Change-to-QUBT-and-200-1-Reverse-Stock-Spl.html">company</a> was formerly known as Innovative Beverage Group Holdings, Inc. —&nbsp; this remarkable pattern has only materialized four times. In all but one case, the following week's price action resulted in downside, with a median loss of 7.53%.
That's not the scary part. No, the real horror begins in the second week. Should the bears maintain control, the median loss at that point would be 21.85%.
<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/2025/06/13151333/QUBT-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-949651" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/13151333/QUBT-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/13151333/QUBT-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/13151333/QUBT-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/13151333/QUBT-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Granted, the above data stems from probabilities and projections based on past data — data which is admittedly from a super-small sample size. However, there is a danger in assuming that the balance of bullishness can be pushed to the extreme without consequence.
Case in point is Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). As great as the company is, NFLX was on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/options/25/06/45803568/nflx-stock-correction-risk-following-statistically-rare-rally">statistically rare nine-week consecutive win streak</a>. The streaming giant's dominance was enough for its equity to defy gravity and it fell, almost exactly as predicted.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">An Aggressive Bear Put Spread For The Data-Driven Trader</h2>
Based strictly on the numbers, it's likely — though to be clear, not guaranteed — that the near-term bearish approach may find success. For those who want to take a shot, the 15/14 bear put spread expiring July 3 may be enticing.
The above transaction involves buying the $15 put and simultaneously selling the $14 put, for a net debit paid of $45. Should QUBT stock fall through the short strike price ($14) at expiration, the maximum reward is $55, a payout of over 122%.
Primarily, what makes this trade attractive is the statistical response to eight up weeks within a 10-week period. More often than not, irrespective of the company's fundamentals, traders have a history of bailing out. This bear spread allows the contrarian statistician to potentially extract profits from the downdraft.
Also, the aforementioned pattern reflects a shift in magnitude in terms of sentiment regime. As a baseline, the chance that a long position in QUBT stock will be profitable over any given week is only 39.83%. With the previously mentioned sequence, the long-side odds are only 25%.
Without casting any aspersions on Quantum Computing as a business, the numbers simply don't favor bullishness in the near term. It's nothing personal…it's just statistics.

<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Even though Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's relationship is a thing of the past, West&#8217;s investments in stocks for his ex-wife continue to thrive, significantly boosting her financial portfolio.
What Happened: Despite their high-profile divorce, West&#8217;s financial decisions continue to influence Kardashian&#8217;s wealth. According <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/kim-kardashian/">to</a> Forbes, her net worth currently stands at $1.7 billion.
Kanye made strategic stock investments on Kardashian's behalf before their separation, many of which have seen impressive returns.&nbsp;
In 2017, Kardashian revealed that her husband, West, gave her an extraordinary Christmas gift: stock worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in major companies like Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Adidas (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>).

Why It's Important: Kardashian is a television personality, entrepreneur and social media icon who first gained widespread recognition in 2007 through the E! reality series "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," which chronicled the lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family.
Beyond television, she has built a successful business empire with ventures like KKW Beauty, KKW Fragrance and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43789704/kim-kardashians-skims-joins-forces-with-nike-to-redefine-fitness-fashion-stock-gains">the shapewear brand</a> SKIMS.
West, on the other hand, is an American rapper, producer, entrepreneur and fashion designer. In October 2021, he legally changed his name to Ye, citing its spiritual significance.
Widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of his generation, Ye has sold over 135 million records globally, <a href="https://people.com/tag/kanye-west/">according</a> to People.
Ye is known for his bold public statements and widely publicized personal life. In the fashion world, he founded the Yeezy brand.

Kanye West Once Gifted Kim Kardashian Stocks In Apple, Netflix, Amazon And Disney — And His Financial Foresight Continues To Benefit Her Wealth

While heavyweights like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) have compounded investor wealth over the years, this particular beverage company has outperformed all of the others over the last 30 years.
What Happened: No, it&#8217;s not Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) or PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), but it is Monster Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNST#NASDAQ">MNST</a>), which has advanced 444,867% since 1995, outperforming all the other S&amp;P 500 stocks over the last 30 years.
According to data highlighted by Charlie Bilello, the chief marketing strategist at Creative Planning, Monster Beverage has provided a 32.6% annualized return over the last 30 years since Aug. 18, 1995.
The data shows that if an investor had bought positions worth $10,000 in the beverage company, they would have a total of $44,496,814 today.
The exchange-traded fund tracking the S&amp;P 500 index, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), rose 1,868% in the same period, providing a 10.4% annualized return. Thus growing a $10,000 investment into $196,840 over the 30 years.
The top five S&amp;P 500 performers apart from MNST, according to Bilello&#8217;s list, include Nvidia, Amazon, Axon Enterprises Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>), and Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)

Why It Matters: Shares of Monster Beverage have risen by 22.25% on a year-to-date basis, whereas it has gained 23.24% over the last year.
The technical indicators painted a strong picture for the stock. It closed at $63.95 apiece on Friday, which was above its short and long-term simple daily moving averages.
The relative strength index of 67.46 was closer to the overbought conditions but still in the neutral zone. A positive MACD line of 1.33 suggested that its 12-day exponential moving average was above its 26-day EMA, indicating a bullish momentum.

You'd Be A Millionaire If You Invested $10,000 In This Stock In 1995: Here Is S&P 500's Top Performing Stock Over The Last 30 Years

No one is disputing the utter dominance of content streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). Since the beginning of this year, NFLX stock has gained about 40%, absolutely clowning the Nasdaq Composite index, which is up less than 1% during the same period. Over the past 52 weeks, the security has nearly doubled in value, again putting on a clinic. Still, bullishness is linear — until it's not.
To be crystal clear, Netflix represents a fundamentally stout enterprise. In April, the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/04/44898402/investors-are-buying-netflix-stock-following-q1-earnings-whats-going-on">first-quarter earnings</a> and it was more of the same — in the best possible sense of the phrase. On the top line, the company generated revenue of $10.54 billion, beating the consensus target of $10.52 billion. Further, it posted adjusted earnings per share of $6.61, exceeding analysts' view of $5.74.
Following the earnings disclosure, several Wall Street experts reiterated their bullish ratings, with most raising their 12-month price targets. In a show of force, NFLX stock has now exceeded these upgraded expectations.
At the same time, it's possible to have too much of a good thing. What investors should be aware of is that currently, NFLX stock is on course to print nine consecutive up weeks. An up week is defined as Friday's closing price being higher than Monday's opening price.
Going back to January 2015, there has only been a single time when NFLX stock has printed nine consecutive up weeks. That lone incident resulted in a reversal, with a one-week loss of 2.64%. Granted, this is a sample size of one so investors shouldn't overreact to the data.
Nevertheless, it's also important to consider the underlying psychology. Netflix doesn't pay a dividend, which makes NFLX stock more susceptible to early investors locking in profits. While very few are adamantly bearish on NFLX, the reality is that 10-year Treasuries <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/05/45604132/10-year-yield-tops-455-despite-trumps-eu-tariff-delay-as-bond-market-signals-fiscal-concerns">offer a risk-free yield of 4.55%</a>. There's no reason for investors to ride out volatility with this kind of alternative safe haven.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Elevated Correction Probabilities Pose Challenges For NFLX Stock</h2>
Sample sizes are crucial in statistics, meaning that the above sample size of one requires a huge grain of salt. Still, the practice of streak analysis carries a distinct advantage over traditional methodologies of fundamental and technical analysis: stationarity.
At it core, streaks represent discrete, binary events — investors are looking for streaks of accumulation or distribution, up weeks or down weeks. As a result, streak analysis can be conducted across time because the metric of comparison is static. In colloquial terms, the analysis is speaking the same language.
On the flipside, it's practically impossible to conduct a similar assessment using continuous scalar signals such as stock prices or earnings. These metrics often change dramatically over time and can also shift due to regime changes. As well, administrative factors such as share dilution or buybacks can easily distort the signals, making statistical analysis either overly complex or nonsensical.
Adding to the remarkable win-streak argument for NFLX stock, it should be noted that in the past decade, the security has only witnessed nine occasions where it posted nine up weeks (in any order) across a 10-week period. From a market breadth perspective, NFLX is currently on track to print a "9-1" sequence.
<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/2025/06/05150616/NFLX-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-940257" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/05150616/NFLX-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/05150616/NFLX-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/05150616/NFLX-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/05150616/NFLX-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
On six occasions (66.67%), the following week's price action results in downside, with a median loss of 2.73%. Assuming that NFLX stock closes at $1,250, the implication is that it's possible the security could temporarily correct to around $1,216.
Interestingly, last week, NFLX stock printed an 8-2-U sequence. Historically, this pattern carries a following week downside risk of 53.57%. Obviously, the implications of this sequence aren't panning out as expected. Nevertheless, as NFLX stacks more accumulative sessions without correction, the statistical risk of temporary downside rises considerably.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Bold Move For The Agnostic Trader</h2>
As a strong and much-loved company, Netflix doesn't have many doubters. However, all healthy rallies eventually encounter a breather. Emotionally agnostic traders that want to attempt to take advantage of this possibility may consider the 1225/1220 bear put spread expiring June 20.
At time of writing, this transaction involves buying the $1,225 put and simultaneously selling the $1,220 put, for a net debit paid of $250. Should NFLX stock fall through the short strike price at expiration, the maximum reward is also $250, a payout of 100%.
Primarily, this trade is tempting because of the statistical argument laid out above. Whether looking at the landscape from a nine-week consecutive win streak or as a 9-1 sequence, the historically observed performance risk sits at a loss between 2.64% and 2.73%. If NFLX stock closes this week at $1,250, the implication is that the security may land somewhere around $1,216 to $1,217. In either case, that's more than enough to trigger the $1,220 short strike price.
As a final cautionary note, Netflix is a fundamentally robust business and any downside will likely be ephemeral. If a substantive correction materializes prior to expiration, traders should consider exiting the spread early. While this would leave time on the clock (and thus a penalty against the payout), NFLX could easily bounce back in a hurry.
In other words, this trade is about skimming profits from the ebb and flow of a high-powered growth stock; it is not about expressing long-term skepticism of an obviously standout performer.

It has the biggest television entertainment subscriber base in both the United States and the collective international market, with more than 300 million subscribers globally. Netflix has exposure to nearly the entire global population outside of China. The firm has traditionally avoided a regular slate of live programming or sports content, instead focusing on on-demand access to episodic television, movies, and documentaries. The firm introduced ad-supported subscription plans in 2022, giving the firm exposure to the advertising market in addition to the subscription fees that have historically accounted for nearly all its revenue.

Netflix Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) shareholders delivered a rebuke to CEO David Zaslav&#8216;s leadership on Tuesday, with over 59% voting against his $51.9 million compensation package for 2024 in the company&#8217;s annual &#8220;say-on-pay&#8221; ballot.
What Happened: The symbolic vote represents growing shareholder frustration with executive compensation at the media conglomerate, which has seen its stock plummet 59% since the April 2022 merger of AT&amp;T&#8217;s WarnerMedia and Discovery Communications created the company, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/warner-discovery-shareholders-vote-against-ceo-david-zaslavs-pay-db679d1e?mod=hp_lead_pos6">reported</a>. More than 80% of shareholders participated in the non-binding vote.
Zaslav&#8217;s pay package rejection marks a significant deterioration from last year, when 50.8% of shareholders approved executive compensation. Corporate governance firm ISS considers anything below 70% approval as &#8220;low support.&#8221;
The compensation controversy comes as Warner Bros. Discovery faces mounting financial pressures. S&amp;P Global Ratings downgraded the company&#8217;s debt to junk status in May, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/06/45731052/warner-bros-debt-downgrade-is-an-ironically-positive-event-analyst">citing challenges in its cable-network business</a> as consumers abandon traditional television for streaming services.

Why It Matters: Warner&#8217;s cable networks, including CNN, Food Network, and Discovery Channel, continue experiencing rating and revenue declines. The company&#8217;s HBO Max streaming service, while profitable and adding subscribers, lags significantly behind industry leaders Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), the report noted.
Bank of America Securities analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/06/45731052/warner-bros-debt-downgrade-is-an-ironically-positive-event-analyst">maintains a Buy rating on Warner Bros. Discovery</a> with a $14 price target, calling the debt downgrade &#8220;ironically positive&#8221; for equity holders. Ehrlich argues the downgrade increases strategic flexibility by removing a &#8220;double-trigger&#8221; change of control covenant that previously limited strategic options.
Entertainment industry CEO compensation typically exceeds other sectors, according to the report. Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters each received over $60 million in 2024, while Disney&#8217;s Bob Iger earned $41.1 million. However, shareholders at both companies have previously rejected executive pay packages in similar non-binding votes.
WBD stock is showing positive momentum with an upward short- to long-term price trend, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. However, it faces challenges in growth and valuation.

Warner Bros Discovery Shareholders Reject CEO David Zaslav's $51.9 Million Pay Package Amid Stock Slump, Debt Downgrade

Scott Galloway, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/05/45337334/scott-galloway-wants-to-cut-checks-for-rich-retirees-but-critics-say-his-fix-could-break-social-security">outspoken professor</a> and entrepreneur, says he gets it wrong all the time—and he doesn't try to hide it. &#8220;I bought Netflix at $12 and sold it at $10. Now it's at $1,100,&#8221; he said on a recent episode of the &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwdaYTvncwk">My First Million</a>&#8221; podcast. &#8220;I can&#8217;t stand people who are constantly taking pictures of all their wins and posting them on social.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Distressed Investing Over Hype Stocks</h2>
Despite that Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) miss, Galloway has racked up some big wins, mostly by betting on unpopular, overlooked assets. He says the best returns don't come from trendy stocks, but from distressed situations that smell, as he put it, &#8220;like urine.&#8221;

One of his best trades? Buying $10 million in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/25/05/45448569/ftx-to-distribute-over-5b-to-creditors-in-second-round-of-payouts-on-may-30">FTX bankruptcy claims</a> for $2.2 million after digging through the exchange&#8217;s filings. He figured their investment in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43127416/anthropic-gains-big-with-google-backing-aiming-for-60-billion-valuation-and-surging-ai-revenue">AI company Anthropic</a> was worth much more than creditors realized. "Crypto took off, everything they had invested in went crazy," he said. &#8220;Looks like we&#8217;re going to get 160 cents on the dollar.&#8221;
He admits there was risk, but also effort. &#8220;I&#8217;m that guy who reads bankruptcy filings,&#8221; he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Vape Startups To Yellow Pages</h2>
Galloway&#8217;s biggest return came from helping bring vape company NJOY out of bankruptcy. He initially put in $2.5 million. After the company received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval and was bought by Altria (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>), his stake turned into $75 million.
&#8220;We almost went to zero two or three times,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But that was hands down my best investment.&#8221;
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/overplay">Mark Cuban Backs This Innovative Startup That Turns Videos into Games&nbsp; &#8212; Claim Your Share Now</a>
Another win came from dying yellow pages company Dex Media. He got in for about $4 million and sold after the business successfully pivoted into software. "What is less sexy than Yellow Pages?" he said.
Still, he doesn't shy away from his losses. He once invested $5 million in a healthcare texting company that went to zero in just 18 months. And he left $2 million on the table after selling covered calls on a stock that jumped right after earnings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shift Away From U.S. Stocks</h2>
Galloway is now moving away from U.S. equities, citing sky-high valuations and political instability. "[If] you think you're diversified because you're in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-an-index-fund">index fund</a>, you're not, because I believe the U.S. is going to go flat in the next decade," he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to be almost entirely out of the U.S. market within three or four months.&#8221;
He&#8217;s especially bullish on Europe, clarifying how everyone thinks Europe is overregulated and boring, but that&#8217;s exactly when you invest. &#8220;When something&#8217;s been left for dead,&#8221; he said.

'I Bought Netflix At $12 And Sold At $10. Now It's At $1,100, Says Scott Galloway, Hates When People Only Post Their Wins Online

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) may have complicated holiday plans for many people in the United States with new "Stranger Things" episodes and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/04/44615929/nfl-gets-3-christmas-day-games-in-2025-how-netflix-amazon-will-both-benefit">two NFL games</a> premiering on the platform on Christmas Day.
What Happened: Netflix hosted its Tudum global fan event over the weekend, and many new trailers, release dates and details were shared with fans, including the release dates for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/41821069/netflix-stock-hits-all-time-highs-company-confirms-stranger-things-season-5-for-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highly anticipated fifth </a>and final season of Stranger Things.
"Stranger Things" will be <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/features/stranger-things-season-5-release-date">released </a>in three parts on the following dates:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Part 1: four episodes, Nov. 26 (the day before Thanksgiving)</li>
<li>Part 2: three episodes, Dec. 25 (Christmas Day)</li>
<li>Part 3: final episode, Dec. 31</li>
</ul>
All of the episodes will premiere at 5 p.m. PST on the respective dates.
While many people may have their Christmas plans wrapped up on Dec. 25 by the time the new episodes are released, others may look to have parties and celebrations earlier than normal during the day.
Also, keep in mind that Netflix has two Christmas Day NFL games: the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Washington Commanders at 1 p.m. ET and the Detroit Lions vs. the Minnesota Vikings at 4:30 p.m. ET.
This means that Netflix will have premium content for subscribers from 1 p.m. until potentially midnight, depending on the length of the three "Stranger Things" episodes that are released.
The other parts of "Stranger Things" also find release dates around holidays that could complicate family get-togethers and plans.
For comparison, "Stranger Things" season four was released as nine episodes, seven of which were released on May 27 and two on July 1, 2022.
Along with family members upset they might not see as many of their loved ones who want to watch NFL games and "Stranger Things," streaming rival Prime Video might be upset by Netflix's release dates.
The streaming platform, owned by Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), has a third NFL game on Christmas. The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs will play at 8:15 p.m. ET, right when the new "Stranger Things" episodes will be released.

Why It's Important: "Stranger Things" is one of the most-watched series in Netflix history and the final season is among the most anticipated releases on the streaming platforms ever.
Releasing episodes of the hit show around holidays will likely pay off for Netflix in the viewership charts, as people often have time off of work and could binge-watch or catch up on old episodes.
For Netflix, the decision to have two Christmas Day NFL games and "Stranger Things" episodes could be the streamer's decision to plant their flag on the holiday and be the go-to place for homes around the country during the day and at night.
Netflix averaged 24 million viewers for its two Christmas Day 2024 NFL games with 65 million Americans watching at least a portion of one of its two games during the day. The streamer cut into the usual dominance of NBA games that traditionally air on Christmas Day.
"Stranger Things" was not the only highlight from Tudum and also not the only key 2025 release from the streaming giant.
Netflix also <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/features/tudum-2025-the-live-event">highlighted </a>other hits like "Wednesday" season 2 and "Squid Game" season 3, which will be released on Aug. 6 and June 27 respectively. The fan event included a performance by Lady Gaga, who will be featured in the second season of "Wednesday."
The streamer also highlighted upcoming releases like "Frankenstein," "Happy Gilmore 2," "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery" and season two of "One Piece."
Netflix has new seasons of "Squid Game," "Stranger Things," and "Wednesday" in 2025, giving fans new content for three of its most popular series of all time. Add in NFL games, WWE live matches, and more, and Netflix's 2025 lineup continues to look like one of the best among streamers.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock was up 1% to $1,218.98 on Monday, hitting a new 52-week high of $1,219.40 during the trading session. Netflix stock is up 37.5% year-to-date in 2025 and over 90% in the last year.
