B of A Securities Maintains Buy on Netflix, Raises Price Target to $1000

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House, renowned economist Mohamed El-Erian is cautioning against media oversimplification of the incoming administration&#8217;s proposed tariff strategies.
What Happened: In a recent statement on X, El-Erian highlighted the intricate nature of Trump&#8217;s tariff discussions, noting that the proposed economic policies encompass at least three complex economic stages influenced by multiple factors, including trade flows, corporate pricing strategies, and geopolitical considerations.
El-Erian&#8217;s core message remains clear: Trump&#8217;s tariff debate requires sophisticated, nuanced analysis that transcends simplistic narratives. &#8220;The issue is quite complex,&#8221; he emphasized, underscoring the need for comprehensive economic understanding beyond headline rhetoric.

Trump&#8217;s proposed economic blueprint, which includes a universal tariff of up to 20% on imports and potentially up to 60% on Chinese goods, has sparked intense economic debate. Tech investor Peter Thiel suggests these tariffs could significantly impact Chinese companies while causing minimal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake">disruption to U.S. consumers</a>.

Why It Matters: Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle warns that Trump&#8217;s proposed universal tariff could push <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42042411/inflation-could-surge-to-3-if-trump-applies-universal-tariffs-goldman-sachs">inflation back to 3%</a>, potentially complicating Federal Reserve monetary strategies.

"Tariffs would create a headwind to the performance of stocks with high international revenue exposure due to the risk of retaliatory tariffs and heightened geopolitical tensions," Goldman Sachs analyst David Kostin stated.

Mohamed El-Erian Warns Against Simplistic Narratives As Trump Plans Aggressive Tariff Strategy: 'The Issue Is Quite Complex'

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) could be facing several lawsuits after shattering records from its highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, which saw Paul named the victor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/41985523/paul-vs-tyson-boxing-match-how-to-watch-betting-odds-what-the-stats-say-and-more">via unanimous decision.</a>
What Happened: Netflix had a problem that most streamers would love to have on Friday. The company had so many people trying to watch its live boxing event that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42042640/netflix-crash-hits-jake-paul-mike-tyson-fight-can-streaming-platform-handle-christmas-day-nfl-action">site was crashing</a> for viewers around the world.
While the good problem to have could mean a boost in subscribers for the current fourth quarter and a boost to advertising revenue from its ad-supported customers, Netflix is facing at least one lawsuit over tech hiccups.
A lawsuit has been filed in Florida by Netflix customer Ronald "Blue" Denton, as <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/netflix-subscribers-sue-company-breach-contract-over-poor-quality-mike-tyson-jake-paul-fight">reported </a>by Fox News. The lawsuit alleges "breach of contract" by Netflix and was first reported by <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/11/19/netflix-sued-tyson-paul-stream-issues/">TMZ</a>.
Netflix said the fight was watched by more than 108 million viewers globally to become the "most-streamed sporting event ever," while also acknowledging the tech difficulties that some customers had. The event peaked at 65 million concurrent households in the U.S. watching with an estimated 56% of all U.S. TV traffic from 12 a.m. ET to 1 a.m. ET watching the Netflix fight.
"This unprecedented scale created many technical challenges, which the launch team tackled brilliantly by prioritizing stability of the stream for the majority of viewers," Netflix executive Elizabeth Stone said.
Stone said the event was "a huge success," while acknowledging there was room for improvement.
The hashtag #NetflixCrash trended on social media platform X Friday and more than one million people around the world, from 50 countries, reported issues with their stream according to DownDetector. 
TechCrunch&nbsp;<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/16/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-fight-shows-netflix-still-struggles-with-live-events/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>11 p.m. ET was the peak time for issues, and around 530,000 U.S. customers reported issues with their stream.
The class action lawsuit asks for unspecified damages. It will be interesting to see if other subscribers join the fight against Netflix.
Benzinga reached out to Netflix for comment and will update the story accordingly.

Why It's Important: While Netflix faces at least one lawsuit over the live boxing event, the company and others could be on the hook for more depending on any lawyers or subscribers who want to take on larger corporations.
Unlike the last fight Tyson took part in, which was an exhibition, his fight with Paul was sanctioned and sportsbooks took bets on the match.
With huge amounts wagered on the fight and the match ending in a draw that looked at times like Paul wasn't going 100%, there could be potential lawsuits against the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), Netflix, and other parties.
"It wouldn't shock me one bit to see a lawsuit filed on this fight," Sports attorney Dan Lust of Moritt Hock &amp; Hamroff <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/19/sports/jake-pauls-curious-comments-after-beating-mike-tyson-create-lawsuit-possibilities-sports-lawyer-reveals-why/">told </a>the New York Post.
Paul's comments after the fight could even make a lawsuit more of a reality with the younger boxer and winner of the match saying he "didn't want to hurt someone that didn't need to be hurt."
Paul admitted to taking his foot off the pedal saying that he "wanted to give the fans a show."
"I could just tell that his age was showing a little bit and I just have so much respect for him and that violence, war thing between us … kind of went away as the rounds went on," Paul added.
Lust, who is also a Law Professor at new York Law School, said the betting lines saw more action on a knockout to be the fight outcome than other outcomes like the ultimate winning bet of a decision.
"Paul taking bows and not fighting to the last minute, the optics are just odd," Lust added.
Lust said he would not be shocked if there was a class action lawsuit concerning the outcome of the fight and Paul not going 100%.
"It's not on me to form one, but I wouldn't be surprised to see one."
Lust said that while lawsuits against sportsbooks don't typically win, the fact that Paul and Tyson wouldn't get paid unless they fought, despite Tyson's later disclosed injuries from earlier in the year, could add to a more likely favorable outcome for bettors suing.
The current class action lawsuit and potential for more suits comes as Netflix has a quick turnaround to make sure its tech can handle huge viewership for live events again next month.
Netflix is set to stream two NFL games on Christmas Day with matchups between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers and between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. The streaming company recently announced that Beyoncé will perform during halftime of the Ravens and Texans game.
The Chiefs have dominated television ratings for NFL games this season, being <a href="https://x.com/NFLMedia/status/1859250489222676973">involved</a> in four of the five most-watched 2024 games. The combination of the Chiefs playing in the first game and a halftime show from Beyoncé could see strong viewership for Netflix live events in the future.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock is up 1.05% to $880.46 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $445.73 to $890.60. Netflix stock is up 87% year-to-date in 2024.

Hollywood has witnessed seismic shifts in its business model, from the era of DVD dominance to the advent of streaming giants like Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). Now, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence</a> is poised to usher in yet another wave of disruption.
What Happened: Last week, speaking at CNBC's Delivering Alpha Summit, Ben Affleck downplayed fears of AI replacing human creativity. He spoke about how the technology is more likely to reshape the costlier, less creative aspects of filmmaking.
AI &#8220;will lower the barrier to entry and allow more voices to be heard,&#8221; Affleck said, envisioning a future where the technology democratizes the industry.

Following his remarks, Workweek's Trung Phan shared a clip of Affleck&#8217;s co-star from &#8220;Good Will Hunting,&#8221; Matt Damon, where the actor can be seen discussing how streaming replaced DVD economics.
Damon was discussing the topic while appearing on &#8220;Hot Ones&#8221; in 2021. At the time, he noted how the decline of DVDs, once a major revenue source for studios, changed the types of movies that could be made.
&#8220;The DVD was a huge part of our business, of our revenue stream, and technology has just made that obsolete,&#8221; Damon can be heard saying.

Why It Matters: AI's potential applications in Hollywood extend far beyond scriptwriting and editing.
From predictive analytics for box office success to digital casting and de-aging actors, AI promises to reshape every stage of filmmaking.
Companies like Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) and Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) have already begun integrating AI into their operations, using tools to predict audience preferences and optimize marketing campaigns.
Last year, reports emerged that the artificial intelligence company Metaphysic was assisting Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, the iconic stars of the 1994 classic &#8220;Forrest Gump,&#8221; in being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/01/30654828/the-rise-of-artificial-intelligence-in-movies-how-the-tom-cruise-deepfake-company-is-helpin">digitally de-aged for a film</a>.
It was also reported that Disney plans to use its Industrial Light and Magic division to digitally de-age Harrison Ford in &#8220;Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,&#8221; for a scene in which he battles Nazis.
For investors, AI presents opportunities reminiscent of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/04/31801202/when-netflix-founders-tried-selling-the-company-to-amazon-blockbuster-they-laughed-us-out-o">early days of streaming</a> when Netflix disrupted Blockbuster — the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/20/10/17960503/heres-how-much-investing-1-000-in-netflix-when-blockbuster-went-bankrupt-would-be-worth-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">movie rental chain that went bankrupt in 2010</a>. 
The entertainment industry is no stranger to disruptive shifts, and AI could redefine how content is created, marketed, and consumed. Studios investing in AI-based platforms, such as Cinelytic or ScriptBook, are leading this transformation.

Netflix Made DVDs Obsolete By Popularizing Streaming. Ben Affleck Thinks AI Will Change The Face Of Hollywood Next

"Squid Game: Unleashed" Party Royale Game Launches December 17 Ahead Of Season 2's Netflix Return On December 26; Pre-Register Available Now

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is back in the top five holdings of The Future Fund Active ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>) as of Nov. 15, fund manager Gary Black said on Monday.
What Happened: Tesla is now the fifth top holding in the ETF after Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), and Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
The Future Fund has maintained Tesla as a significant holding since its 2021 launch, though the position has been adjusted from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41870590/tesla-remains-core-for-gary-black-despite-price-cuts-earnings-drop-nvidia-google-eli-lilly-among-top-performers-in-tech-bulls-portfolio">12.2% in October 2022</a> to 4.11% as of Nov. 15.
Nvidia tops the charts, accounting for 9.29% of The Future Fund Active ETF&#8217;s net assets. Alphabet&#8217;s Class A stock stands at 7.81%, Salesforce at 4.85%, and Netflix at 4.56%.

&#8220;It's called sell discipline, and in the institutional world it's critical to getting assets. No institution will hire you as a manager if you like a stock at any price,&#8221; Black said.
&#8220;Second, when $TSLA pursues a pricing strategy that causes earnings to fall by 50% and TSLA stock to fall by 70% as happened in 2022-2023, wouldn't it be better to sell high and then buy back in after the drawdown?&#8221;
Why It Matters: Tesla resorted to price cuts in late 2022 to up their sales amid an EV demand slowdown and rising competition. The price cuts weighed heavily upon Tesla&#8217;s margins and Black started <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/04/38349246/should-have-sold-our-entire-tsla-position-says-fund-manager-following-ev-giants-coordinated-global-p">trimming his position.</a> The Tesla investor community subsequently alleged that he is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42028323/gary-black-defends-tesla-strategy-amid-clash-with-elon-musk-bulls-we-dont-trade-tesla-we-trim-when-the-price-goes-higher">engaging in short-term trading. </a>
&#8220;Those of us who are long time TSLA bulls, who know instinctively when the stock is oversold and conversely when sentiment is too exuberant, get run out of town quickly for voicing concerns — even when those concerns turn out later to be accurate (e.g. price cuts).&#8221;
In my world, it's ok to take profits when a stock is up 150% in 8 months,&#8221; Black explained in another post on X on Monday.

The new deal includes a global licensing arrangement that allows TNT Sports and its affiliates to produce and distribute NBA content across multiple platforms.
Warner Bros. Discovery now holds the exclusive rights to televise NBA games in several international markets, including the Nordics, Poland, and regions in Latin America, excluding Brazil and Mexico.
The coverage will feature local commentary and provide broad access for NBA fans in these territories.

The updated agreement includes a commitment to promote NBA League Pass across Warner Bros. Discovery&#8217;s digital platforms, such as Bleacher Report and House of Highlights.
This strategy aims to boost subscriber growth and enhance the overall digital experience for basketball fans. The renewed agreement also introduces an innovative partnership between Warner Bros. Discovery and ESPN.
TNT Sports will produce and air Inside the NBA, the Emmy-winning studio show, on ESPN and ABC during the regular season and playoffs starting in the 2025-26 season.
Additionally, Warner Bros. Discovery will broadcast exclusive college sports content, including Big 12 football and basketball games and select College Football Playoff games, further diversifying its sports programming lineup.

The company has been unable to meet the analyst consensus estimates since at least the first quarter of 2022. It has also been unable to reach the consensus estimate for EPS since the second quarter of 2022.
Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. Secures 11-Year NBA Deal Extension

Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) made headlines over the weekend, both good and bad, thanks to its highly anticipated live boxing stream featuring Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. The younger Paul won <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42022601/mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul-netflixs-explosive-boxing-event-ends-with-pauls-victory">via unanimous decision.</a>
The event could be a huge win for Netflix as it ramps up live events, but Friday's fight night showed that sometimes demand is too high and can cause problems even for streamers.
What Happened: Friday&#8217;s fight card, postponed from an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/41985523/paul-vs-tyson-boxing-match-how-to-watch-betting-odds-what-the-stats-say-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noopener">earlier 2024 date,</a> featured the Paul vs. Tyson fight, which pitted one of the upcoming boxers and social media stars (Paul) against one of the most recognized and most awarded boxers in history (Tyson).
While Paul won the fight, many on social media Friday night labeled Netflix—or themselves as viewers—the real losers, as high traffic from the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight preceding the main event caused Netflix to crash.
The hashtag #NetflixCrash trended on social media platform X Friday and more than one million people around the world, from 50 countries, reported issues with their stream according to DownDetector. TechCrunch <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/16/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-fight-shows-netflix-still-struggles-with-live-events/">said </a>11 p.m. ET was the peak time for issues, and around 530,000 U.S. customers reported issues with their stream.
While the issues seemed to ease during the Paul vs. Tyson fight, some customers may have abandoned watching altogether due to repeated disruptions or reports of problems experienced by other subscribers.
"Over 120 million people on Netflix. We crashed the site," Paul boasted after the fight.
Netflix said over 60 million people tuned in for the Paul vs. Tyson fight, setting records along the way.
While Netflix has experimented with live comedy specials, live award shows and a live roast of Tom Brady, this was the company's biggest test to date and the stumbles could be bad news ahead of two highly anticipated National Football League games on Christmas Day.

What's Next: Netflix will air two games on Christmas Day, with the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers facing off at 1 p.m. ET and the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans facing off at 4:30 p.m. ET.
The games are <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/nfl-games-on-netflix">exclusive </a>on Netflix, outside of the local television markets for the teams playing in the two contests.
In case you were wondering if Friday's stumbles had Netflix or the NFL reconsidering the plans to stream games on Christmas Day, the streaming giant is already doubling down.
Netflix announced that Beyoncé will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42038673/netflix-scores-big-beyonce-set-to-headline-nfl-christmas-halftime-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perform at halftime </a>during the Ravens—Texans game in her hometown of Houston. Beyoncé will perform songs from her recent "Cowboy Carter" album and feature unnamed special guests, Netflix said.
Beyoncé previously performed during halftime of two Super Bowls, one as a headliner and one during a headline performance from Coldplay.
While Super Bowls regularly attract over 100 million viewers, which could be bad news for Netflix, it's important to remember that the average NFL game is watched by fewer people than those who tuned in for the Paul and Tyson fight.
Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), which is the exclusive home of "Thursday Night Football" games, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/41918005/super-bowl-lix-betting-odds-kansas-city-chiefs-favorite-to-three-peat-can-detroit-lions-spoil-the-party-make-team-history">is averaging 13 million </a>viewers per NFL game this season through Week 9, up 4% from last season. Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>), which airs games on Sunday, is averaging 18.65 million viewers per NFL game.
The most watched game of the current NFL season is the Week 1 matchup of the Chiefs and Ravens, which aired on Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) units NBC and Peacock. The game<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/01/36647034/peacock-has-most-livestreamed-event-in-u-s-history-with-nfl-playoffs-exclusive-can-comcast-"> had an average</a> of 29.2 million viewers.
Last season, the NFL had a streaming exclusive NFL Playoffs game on Peacock. The matchup between the Miami Dolphins and Chiefs was watched by an average of 23 million people, up 6% to the prior year's playoff game and setting records along the way.
Netflix ended the third quarter with 282.72 million global paid subscribers. Now, if every single subscriber tunes into the NFL games on Christmas Day, Netflix could have serious problems, given the Paul and Tyson fight.
However, viewership for the Christmas Day games will probably be below 60 million, and given Netflix's more than one month to get things right, fewer problems will likely occur.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock is up 1% to $832.70 on Monday after starting the day down. Netflix stock has traded between $445.73 and $841.00 over the last 52 weeks. The stock is up 77.8% year-to-date in 2024.

Netflix Crash Hits Jake Paul-Mike Tyson Fight: Can Streaming Platform Handle Christmas Day NFL Action?

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.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of November 18, 2024 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

On Thursday, the Walt Disney Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dis#NYSE">DIS</a>) reported its fiscal fourth quarter results that topped estimates as its entertainment segment shined in its full splendor, mirrored in box office success as well as streaming business&rsquo; growth and profitability.&nbsp;
Bob Iger is getting Disney back in shape.
For the September quarter, Disney reported revenue grew&nbsp;6% to $22.57 billion, topping LSEG&rsquo;s consensus estimate of $22.45 billion. &nbsp;Net income grew to $460 million, or 25 cents per share, from $264 million, with adjusted earnings per share amounting to $1.14, also surpassing LSEG&rsquo;s estimate of $1.10.&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating income grew 23% to $3.66 billion.
Fueled by box office success, the entertainment segment that is home to traditional TV networks, direct-to-consumer streaming and films grew 14% YoY to $10.83 billion. Inside Out 2 surpassed the success of Frozen II, becoming the highest-grossing animated movie of all time. Then, there was yet another success on the box office front with &ldquo;Deadpool &amp; Wolverine&rdquo; surpassing &ldquo;Joker&rdquo; from Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wbd#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) and taking the title of&nbsp;highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. Together, these two films added&nbsp;$316 million of profit during the quarter with the entertainment segment reporting and overall profit of $1.1 billion in profit. Executives also revealed that Disney became the first film studio to cross $4 billion globally this year.&nbsp;
Five years since Disney+ launched, it is now profitable. combined streaming business, which includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+, reported operating income of $321 million, which is an entirely different story compared to last year&rsquo;s comparable quarter when it reported a loss of $387 million. Like its streaming peers, Warner Bros. Discovery, as well as Netflix (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nflx#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cmcsa#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) and Paramount Global (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/para#NASDAQ">PARA</a>), Disney+ Core subscribers grew&nbsp;4%, to 122.7 million, with Hulu subscribers alone growing 2% to 52 million.&nbsp;However, average revenue per user for domestic Disney+ customers&nbsp;dropped as more than half of U.S. Disney+ subscribers are choosing the cheaper, ad-supported tier, which on the other hand, bodes well for Disney&rsquo;s advertising growth prospects. Overall, streaming entertainment ad revenue was up 14%/ while sports segment, made up primarily of ESPN, reported flat revenue.&nbsp;
Experiences segment that includes theme parks and consumer products, saw revenue grow 1% to $8.24 billion due to a slowdown, particularly in the U.S. following the post-pandemic surge in visitors and the lull is expected to continue throughout the following quarters. Comcast also reported lower attendance at its Universal theme parks. Due to fewer visitors, Comcast reported NBCUniversal&rsquo;s theme parks revenue dropped by 5.3% to about $2.3 billion. On the other hand, Comcast was fueled by the Summer Olympics that boosted its NBCUniversal revenue, as well as Peacock&rsquo;s subscriber count. Peacock that had the exclusive streaming rights gained 3 million subscribers, paid subscribers grew 29% YoY to 36 million and with revenue growing 82% to $1.5 billion, Comcast narrowed Peacock&rsquo;s losses.
Disney&rsquo;s fiscal 2025 guidance
Compared to the just finished fiscal year, Disney guided for high-single-digit adjusted earnings growth.However, due to higher pricing and the end of a promotional offer, Disney is expecting a &ldquo;modest decline&rdquo; in Disney+ Core subscribers during the fiscal first quarter. However, the bigger picture for the fiscal 2025 is bright with profit in the entertainment streaming business, which excludes ESPN+, is expected to see a YoY increase of roughly $875 million with fiscal 2026 being even brighter with a double-digit percentage rise. Despite the $130 million hit of hurricanes and Cruise Line prelaunch costs of $90 million&nbsp;that will weaken first fiscal quarter results, the experience segment is expected to see its profit grow 6% to 8% in the new fiscal year.&nbsp;
With the upcoming releases of &ldquo;Moana 2&rdquo; and &ldquo;Mufasa: The Lion King,&rdquo; Disney is kicking off the holiday season on a strong note. More importantly, with the streaming segment now being profitable, Disney reaffirmed an important pathway for long-term growth.

Disney Shines In All Its Entertainment Glory

Friday marked a &#8220;record-breaking&#8221; night for streaming platform Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) after 60 million households around the world watched the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing event live, the company said on Saturday.
What Happened: Nearly 50 million households also tuned in live to watch the co-main event of Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor, Netflix said. The audience gathered for the event held at the&nbsp;AT&amp;T&nbsp;Stadium&nbsp;in Arlington, Texas, included Evander Holyfield, Shaquille O&#8217;Neal, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jerry Jones, Charlize Theron, and Ralph Macchio, among others. 
&#8220;Paul vs. Tyson gate has surpassed $18 million, double the previous Texas gate record for combat sports in both boxing and MMA, topping Canelo Álvarez&#8217;s record of $9 million,&#8221; Netflix said while adding that 72.3k attendees gathered to witness the fights. 
Paul<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42022601/mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul-netflixs-explosive-boxing-event-ends-with-pauls-victory"> defeated Tyson</a> and Taylor won over Serrano on Friday. 
Why It Matters: Netflix is currently attempting to bolster its live content. While it has previously aired live comedy stand-ups, award shows, roasts, and other special events, Friday was the first time it aired a boxing event live. 
Last month, Netflix reported strong third-quarter financial results. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41391637/netflix-q3-earnings-revenue-beats-eps-tops-q4-guidance-projects-subscriber-boost-from-squid-game-nf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">company's revenue was $9.825 billion</a>, a 15% increase year-over-year, beating the Street consensus estimate of $9.769 billion. The streaming service currently also boasts more than 282 million global paid subscribers.
The successful foray into live sports content could potentially boost Netflix's subscriber base and revenue in the future.
Price Action:&nbsp;Netflix shares ended Friday&#8217;s trading session down 1.57%, closing at $823.96. The stock is up by about 76% year-to-date, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jake Paul Vs. Mike Tyson Boxing Match Sets 'Record-Breaking Night' For Netflix: Streaming Giant Says Nearly 60M Households Tuned In

Jake Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer, defeated boxing legend Mike Tyson in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42017511/netflix-streams-mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul-the-fight-everyones-talking-about">first live boxing event</a> hosted by Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
What Happened: The event took place at the AT&amp;T&nbsp;Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on&nbsp;Friday, where Paul, 27, won over 58-year-old Tyson&nbsp;in an eight-round heavyweight match&nbsp;via unanimous decision.
The match,&nbsp;sanctioned by the Texas Department&nbsp;of Licensing and Regulation, saw both fighters wearing 14-ounce gloves, a deviation from the standard 10-ounce gloves typically used in heavyweight fights.
The judges&#8217; scores were overwhelmingly in Paul&#8217;s favor, with tallies of 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73.

The fight was initially scheduled for July 20 but was postponed due to Tyson requiring medical attention&nbsp;for an ulcer flareup.
Tyson last competed professionally in 2005 but returned to the ring in a notable exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, which concluded in a split draw.
Tensions escalated during the weigh-in when Tyson struck Paul.

Mike Tyson Vs. Jake Paul: Netflix's Explosive Boxing Event Ends With Paul's Victory

Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is leveraging tonight&#8217;s boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/streaming">bolster its live offerings</a>. 
The streaming service, which has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/41985523/paul-vs-tyson-boxing-match-how-to-watch-betting-odds-what-the-stats-say-and-more">pushing into live sports content</a>, currently boasts more than 282 million global paid subscribers.

So far, Netflix has aired live comedy stand-ups, award shows, roasts and other special events. This is its inaugural boxing event.
Taking place at AT&amp;T Stadium in Dallas, the fight features a dramatic age gap. Tyson, 58, is a boxing legend known for his fierce power. His career record is 50 wins and six losses. Paul, 27, is a social media personality turned boxer beginning in 2020. He holds a 10-1 record with seven knockouts in his career. His lone loss came via a split decision to Tommy Fury in February 2023.

Tyson's last professional fight was in 2005, although he participated in a high-profile exhibition match in 2020 against Roy Jones Jr., which ended in a split draw. 
The buildup took an ugly turn when, during the weigh-in, Tyson slapped Paul.

This real, officially sanctioned fight will be a significant test for both fighters, adding excitement to the streaming giant's growing sports portfolio.
Astronomical Cost To Attend: The celebrity fight promises huge profits. Per a <a href="http://Per a report by USA Today,">report</a> by USA Today, with 80,000 seats and VIP packages ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, the event is set to generate millions.
The exclusive MVP Owner&#8217;s Experience is valued at $2 million, and the fight will also stream live on Netflix, which will benefit from a significant audience. 
Tyson is estimated to earn $20 million, while Paul aims for $40 million.

Betting Big: Per a <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/14/betting/jake-paul-bets-40-million-purse-that-hell-beat-mike-tyson/">report</a> by the NY Post, Paul has taken his confidence to the extreme, betting his entire $40 million purse on himself for his upcoming fight against Tyson.
During a pre-fight exchange, Paul accepted a challenge from Irish boxer Katie Taylor to wager his earnings, with Tyson favored to win.
While unlikely to see the bet come to fruition, Taylor, set to earn $6.1 million for her own fight against Amanda Serrano, stands at +650 odds for Tyson's victory.
In a bold move, <a href="https://www.vox.com/culture/385235/jake-paul-mike-tyson-fight-netflix">Paul offered Tyson $5 million</a> if he can last beyond four rounds. However, if Tyson fails, he must get a tattoo reading "I love Jake Paul." 
Tyson responded with his own counteroffer, demanding $20 million to agree to the challenge. This bet adds to the spectacle, further heightening the tension between the two fighters. It also fuels interest in the already highly anticipated event, blending high stakes with controversy.

Netflix Streams Mike Tyson Vs. Jake Paul: The Fight Everyone's Talking About

Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) much-anticipated live-action Tomb Raider TV series appears close to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment">landing its lead. </a>
<a href="https://deadline.com/2024/11/sophie-turner-lara-croft-tomb-raider-phoebe-waller-bridge-amazon-1236173978/">According</a> to Deadline, Sophie Turner — best known for her role as Sansa Stark in &#8220;Game of Thrones&#8221; — is reportedly in negotiations to take on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38096633/this-is-the-most-iconic-character-in-gaming-surpassing-mario-hitman-sonic-says-bafta-gaming">the iconic role of Lara Croft</a>, the adventurous archaeologist who has been a staple of pop culture since the original Tomb Raider game launched in 1996.
This live-action series, separate from Netflix Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) animated adaptation, was first announced in January 2023. It boasts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38854134/amazon-confirms-live-action-tomb-raider-series-by-fleabags-phoebe-waller-bridge-i-think-my-">Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) as its writer</a>, with Amazon officially confirming her involvement in May. Beyond that, details have been scarce.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Fresh Take On Lara Croft</h3>
Casting Lara Croft comes with high expectations. Angelina Jolie first brought the character to life on the big screen in the early 2000s, delivering a larger-than-life portrayal that set the tone for future adaptations. Alicia Vikander later brought a grittier and more grounded interpretation of Lara in the 2018 reboot.
With Turner reportedly in the final stages of negotiations, fans are eager to see what she can bring to the role. Known for her layered portrayal of Sansa Stark, Turner has proven her ability to balance vulnerability and strength—qualities central to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38096633/this-is-the-most-iconic-character-in-gaming-surpassing-mario-hitman-sonic-says-bafta-gaming">the character of Lara Croft.</a>
Earlier reports suggested Turner was competing with Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody) for the role, but this latest update points to Turner emerging as Amazon's choice.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Expanding The Tomb Raider Universe</h3>
Amazon has ambitious plans for the Tomb Raider franchise. Alongside the TV series, the company will also publish the next Tomb Raider video game developed by Square Enix Holdings Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQNXF#OTC">SQNXF</a>) Crystal Dynamics. Additionally, a new film adaptation is reportedly in the works, signaling a coordinated effort to revitalize the franchise across multiple media platforms.
For fans of classic Tomb Raider games, there's even more to celebrate. Embracer Group&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/THQQF#OTC">THQQF</a>) Aspyr Media recently announced a remastered collection of Tomb Raider IV-VI, set to release in 2024.

Here's a look at how to watch the big fight, the betting odds and several free prediction contests for sportsbook users.
How to Watch Tyson Vs. Paul: First<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/03/37540711/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-coming-to-netflix-biggest-fight-in-history"> announced in March 2024,</a> a fight between Tyson and Paul will take place at AT&amp;T Stadium, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys
The boxing match is part of a full lineup of fights that includes three title fights on the undercard.
Netflix subscribers will be able to watch the fight for free with coverage starting live at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, Nov. 15. The start time of the Tyson and Paul fight will be dependent on how long the fights are before it.
For Netflix, the fight is part of the company's larger bets on live events and sports content to help boost subscribers of its ad-free and ad-supported plans. The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41391637/netflix-q3-earnings-revenue-beats-eps-tops-q4-guidance-projects-subscriber-boost-from-squid-game-nf">ended the most recent quarter </a>with 282.7 million global paid subscribers. Netflix recently said it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41915397/netflix-reaches-70-million-users-on-ad-supported-plan-boosts-live-sports-ads">has reached </a>70 million subscribers for its ad-supported plans.

The Fight Stats: Friday's main event fight will feature a stark difference between the boxers with Tyson coming in at 58 years old, more than twice the age of Paul, who is 27. In fact, Tyson took part in 47 fights before Paul was even born, according to <a href="https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/39772221/what-boxing-stats-tell-us-mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul-fight-netflix-friday">ESPN</a>.
Tyson holds a 50-6 career boxing record and is one of the most well-known boxers of all time, known as "the Baddest Man on the Planet" and "Iron Mike."
Paul holds a 10-1 boxing record with his professional career beginning in 2020.
Tyson is recognized as one of the best boxers of all time and was named the No. 1 hardest hitter in heavyweight history by ESPN. Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion ever at the age of 20, and had a run of 37 consecutive victories during his professional boxing career including 33 wins by knockout.
Tyson&#8217;s last professional boxing bout came in 2005. The boxer also took part in several exhibition matches, including a 2020 match against&nbsp;Roy Jones Jr., which was declared a draw after eight rounds.
Paul's last boxing match came in July of this year with a win to add to his impressive 10-1 record. While Paul lacks the experience of Tyson, he comes into the match as the more recent professional boxer and has a 76-inch to 71-inch reach advantage over Tyson.
Unlike most traditional heavyweight boxing matches, the fight will feature 14-ounce gloves instead of 10-ounce gloves and rounds will be two minutes instead of three minutes in length. The fight is scheduled to go eight rounds, instead of a customary 10 or 12 rounds.
Friday's fight between Tyson and Paul is officially sanctioned as a real fight and not an exhibition match.
Betting Odds, Prediction Markets: Friday's fight will likely see strong betting volume thanks to a larger number of viewers potentially from around the world with the fight on Netflix and not on the more costly pay-per-view option.
Betting odds on sportsbook DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) list Paul as the favorite at odds of -200 and Tyson as the underdog at +160. This means a $100 bet on Paul would pay out a profit of $50 if he wins and a $100 bet on Tyson would pay out a profit of $160 if he wins.
DraftKings lists the fight going under 6.5 rounds at the slight favorite of -120 versus the fight going over 6.5 rounds. A prop on the fight going the distance is at +135 with the fight ending before the end of the eighth round listed at odds of -185.
Here are the betting options of winner and winning method:
<ul>
<li>Paul by KO/TKO/DQ: +150</li>
<li>Paul by Decision: +280</li>
<li>Tyson by KO/TKO/DQ: +250</li>
<li>Tyson by Decision: +950</li>
<li>Draw: +750</li>
</ul>
The betting odds imply that Paul is the favorite to win before the eight rounds are over. Tyson as the underdog is more likely to beat Paul by a knockout, TKO or disqualification than to win by a decision after eight rounds, the odds show.
On prediction market <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-who-will-win">Polymarket</a>, over $7 million has been wagered on predicting a winner of the boxing match. The odds show Paul as the favorite at 63% and Tyson the underdog at 29% with a draw listed at 11%.
The prediction market, which went viral during the 2024 election, allows users to deposit funds using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) via the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) network or directly from a crypto account with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). Winning wagers cash out at $1 per contract.
Free Prediction Contests: While customers on various platforms can bet on the winner outcome, there are several free prediction contests at various sportsbooks.
Betr, a sports betting and sports media company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/03/37515466/betr-announces-new-15m-funding-375m-valuation-how-co-founders-jake-paul-joey-levy-plan-to-"> co-founded by Paul</a>, launched a $50,000 free-to-play game for the boxing match.
