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.

A new report of the most-viewed television series in the 2024-2025 season shows Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) as winners across broadcast television and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/streaming"> the streaming sector.</a>
What Happened: Data from Nielsen that tracks 35 days of viewership across traditional television, cable and streaming — without including sports — shows Netflix the streaming leader and Paramount <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45363944/cbs-highlights-tv-dominance-17-year-streak-on-top-can-success-help-offset-trump-merger-concerns">the broadcast leader.</a>
Here are the top 10 most-viewed shows during the time period, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/most-popular-tv-shows-2024-25-squid-game-adolescence-1236412566/">Variety</a>, with their average viewership.
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>&#8220;Squid Game,&#8221; Netflix: 27.1 million</li>
<li>&#8220;Adolescence,&#8221; Netflix: 19.0 million</li>
<li>&#8220;Tracker,&#8221; CBS: 17.4 million</li>
<li>&#8220;Reacher,&#8221; Prime Video: 17.4 million</li>
<li>&#8220;High Potential,&#8221; ABC: 16.1 million</li>
<li>&#8220;Matlock,&#8221; CBS: 16.0 million</li>
<li>&#8220;Landman,&#8221; Paramount+, 15.8 million</li>
<li>&#8220;Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,&#8221; Netflix: 15.7 million</li>
<li>&#8220;Zero Day,&#8221; Netflix: 15.7 million</li>
<li>&#8220;Nobody Wants This,&#8221; Netflix: 15.2 million</li>
</ol>
Netflix dominated the list with five of the top 10. The streaming giant also had numbers 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 on the list giving it 10 of the top 15. Overall, Netflix had 12 of the top 25 series.
Paramount ranked second with three of the top 10. The company also had 16, 17 and 21 on the list, good for six of the top 25 series.
Outside of these two, Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) had "High Potential" at fifth place. The series had split viewership between ABC and Hulu, according to the report.
Prime Video from Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) had the fourth most-watched title in "Reacher." This was the only top 25 title for Amazon with its next best ranked 42nd and other hits like "Beast Games" ranking 73rd on the list, with only viewers available from streaming and not multiple platforms.

Report Says &#8216;Opening Offer Has Been Made&#8217;</a>
Why It's Important: The rankings also show average viewership for the key age 18 to 49 demographic, which shows an even larger dominance from Netflix.
Netflix had six of the top 10 series for the 18 to 49 age demographic with "Squid Game," "Adolescence," "Monsters," "Nobody Wants This," "Running Point" and "Ms. Rachel." The streaming giant had 17 of the top 25 shows for viewership in this key age demographic.
For Paramount, the results were much different as the company only had one title rank in the top 10 for the key age demographic with "Landman." Unlike other series that air on CBS and stream on Paramount+, "Landman" is a streaming exclusive title.
Paramount's next highest title on the 18 to 49 chart is "Mobland" at 30.
This means Paramount is getting much higher viewership from its broadcast segment (CBS) than from its streaming. It also shows the balance of the company having a strong network and streaming platform with positions on both top 10 lists. This also illustrates Paramount is one of the winners in having series that appeal to all ages, including the 50+ demographic.

Netflix, Paramount Dominate New Top Series Viewers: How Streaming, Connection With Different Age Demographics Helps

UPDATE: Today On CNBC Halftime Report, Josh Brown Changed Final Trade From Netflix To JP Morgan Chase & Co.

Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) just earned a bullish call from Bank of America, which believes that even after a 33% year-to-date surge to all-time highs, the stock still <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color">has more upside ahead.</a>
In a note shared Friday, analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich said the streaming leader is benefiting from strong advertising momentum, a massive content slate and continued subscriber growth.
The investment bank lifted its price target on Netflix from $1,175 to $1,490, suggesting a 25% upside. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Bank of America Is Bullish On Netflix</h3>
Netflix has been a top performer in the firm's coverage, supported by "sustained earnings momentum, positive subscriber trends," and a "defensive rotation related to tariffs."
At its recent 2025 Upfront presentation, Netflix reported that its ad-supported plan now reaches 94 million monthly active users—up from 70 million in November 2024 and 40 million one year ago.
Reif Ehrlich said the platform now delivers "more 18-34-year-olds than any U.S. broadcast or cable network," a milestone that significantly boosts its appeal to advertisers.
Netflix's move off Xandr and onto its own ad tech stack is proceeding smoothly. The company has already launched its in-house ad platform in the U.S. and Canada, and rollouts in 10 other ad markets are ongoing. The expert wrote that "long term, ads will be personalized and customized."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Second-Half Content Slate Could Boost Engagement</h3>
Netflix's second-half programming schedule is what Reif Ehrlich called a "content bonanza," featuring the return of its three most-watched franchises—&#8221;Squid Game&#8221; on June 27, &#8220;Wednesday&#8221; on August 6, and &#8220;Stranger Things&#8221; later this year.
These are joined by new originals like Guillermo del Toro's &#8220;Frankenstein,&#8221; Adam Sandler's &#8220;Happy Gilmore 2,&#8221; and Tina Fey's &#8220;The Four Seasons.&#8221;
On the live content front, Netflix is betting on boxing matches from Madison Square Garden—produced by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions—and NFL games on Christmas Day.
Reif Ehrlich said this lineup supports &#8220;healthy retention and subscriber growth,&#8221; and positions Netflix for stronger ad engagement.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix's Position Remains Strong</h3>
Reif Ehrlich lifted her valuation multiple from 32x to 40x expected 2026 EBITDA, in line with Netflix's current trading range. She said the move is backed by "increased visibility in growth drivers" including advertising and live programming.
"We continue to view Netflix as well positioned given the company's unmatched scale in streaming," Reif Ehrlich said, also pointing to "significant opportunities in advertising and sports/live."

Citigroup Maintains Neutral on Netflix, Raises Price Target to $1250

Toronto startup Moonvalley is having no trouble raising additional capital since securing a $70 million seed round in November. The developer of AI tools for video creation has added another $53 million to its checkbook, according to last week's Securities and Exchange Commission <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2042742/000204274225000004/0002042742-25-000004-index.htm">filing</a>.&nbsp;
Fourteen unnamed investors have now <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2042742/000204274225000003/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml">come on board</a>, with potentially good reasons for their anonymity. The company has opened operations in Los Angeles, tracking an eyebrow-raising game plan in this overcrowded tech venue.

</ul>
Moonvalley is building the Marey AI learning model in collaboration with animator Asteria, operating out of the Mack Sennett soundstage. According to a <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250312838355/en/Introducing-Marey-the-Most-Powerful-AI-Video-Model-Trained-Exclusively-on-Clean-Data">press release</a>, Marey will bring "unparalleled power and control to film and media production, while distinguishing itself by relying exclusively on ethically sourced data owned and licensed by the company." Given proximity to Hollywood studios, unnamed investors may include major industry players making plans for the future.&nbsp;
Content creators have been taking aggressive action against video AI startups that train models on public data, arguing fair-use violations of their copyrighted materials. Moonvalley hopes to jump legal hurdles by obtaining licensing and purchasing agreements prior to use. Videos will then be packaged into datasets and fed into Marey while clients retain authority to delete their data or request removal.&nbsp;

Moonvalley still has to tread lightly. Hollywood's Animation Guild represents top-tier creators, animators and cartoonists. The union commissioned a <a href="https://animationguild.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Future-Unscripted-The-Impact-of-Generative-Artificial-Intelligence-on-Entertainment-Industry-Jobs-pages-1.pdf">study</a> in 2024 that predicts disruption to more than 100,000 U.S.-based film, television and animation jobs within two years. Following the study's release, the union signed a three-year contract that expires at the end of 2027, setting the stage for a showdown that rivals last year's Hollywood strike.
Of course, AI has already infiltrated the entertainment industry, led by widespread use of computer graphics in action films in the 1990s. However, the tech may also revive careers of dead actors. Imagine "Gone Again With the Wind", featuring a robust Clark Gable galloping past a perfectly rendered Charleston, South Carolina in ruins. It's the kind of pipe dream that thrills Hollywood producers while nervous actors call their lawyers.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Marey interface is still under construction and not available for public scrutiny. The company <a href="https://www.moonvalley.com/beyondtheframe/our-vision-for-generative-video">said</a> the software will feature storyboarding and granular clip adjustment tools, generating videos from text prompts, sketches, photos, video clips and other media. Initial HD rendering is expected to produce clips up to 30 seconds long, which doesn't sound impressive. However, string them together and a fully-fledged cinema experience might emerge.
Given industry crosswinds, Moonvalley faces an uncertain path from build out to full-scale production. From a profit perspective, future investors should remain cautious because the ethical approach will be duplicated by competitors if it gains traction in Hollywood, undermining the start-up's competitive edge.
That's one reason the growing list of unnamed investors is critical to this venture's long-term success, especially if they&#8217;re bankrolled by Hollywood or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX">Netflix </a>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).

Streaming Wars Heat Up: How Moonvalley's $123M AI Bet Could Shape Hollywood's Future

Undeniably, one of the most remarkable performances in the equities arena hails from streaming giant Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). Despite a tricky economic environment, the entertainment stalwart continues to attract massive sentiment. Since the start of the year, NFLX stock has gained nearly 36%. In contrast, the benchmark S&amp;P 500 just barely entered positive territory. Nevertheless, rampant success can breed its own questions.
On the optimistic front, it's difficult to deny Netflix's massive growth engine, which continues its relentless march northward. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Netflix<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX/earnings"> posted revenue of $10.543 billion</a>, pipping analysts' consensus target of $10.51 billion. Additionally, the company reported earnings per share of $6.61, comfortably exceeding Wall Street's estimate of $5.72.
Moreover, the fundamentals of the business look encouraging. Earlier this month, Netflix announced that its advertisement-supported subscription plan – which launched in 2022 –&nbsp; has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45445251/netflixs-ad-tier-now-boasts-94m-users-fueling-stocks-rise-to-record-highs"> hit 94 million monthly active users globally</a>. This tally is up significantly from the 70 million figure it posted in November last year.
Fueling the optimism is the fact that ad-supported plan users spend 41 hours watching Netflix content a month on average. Significantly, per management, this subscription tier reaches more people in the key 18-to-34-year-old demographic than any broadcast or cable network.
Still, there's a contrasting view for every narrative, and for NFLX stock, arguably the most predominant concern is the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45500089/netflix-stock-gets-downgrade-with-shares-up-400-in-three-years-expect-rotation-into-other-internet-names"> valuation</a>. Currently, shares trade hands for around<a href="https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/NFLX/netflix/pe-ratio"> 56 times</a> trailing-12-month earnings – a figure that has been gathering steam since June 2022. Three years ago, the price-earnings ratio was only around 15.54.
Fundamentally, it's fair to point out that NFLX stock is relatively insulated from the tariff policies that have dominated the broader economic discourse this year. Still, President Donald Trump's proposal of a<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"> 100% tariff on foreign films</a> could potentially lead to increased content costs and subsequently hiked prices.
The Direxion ETFs: Despite the clashing of theses, the conflict itself makes for compelling storylines – and that suits financial services provider Direxion perfectly thanks to its offering of NFLX-specific bull and bear exchange-traded funds.
For the optimists, the Direxion Daily NFLX Bull 2X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFXL#NASDAQ">NFXL</a>) seeks the daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the performance of NFLX stock. In contrast, the Direxion Daily NFLX Bear 1X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFXS#NASDAQ">NFXS</a>) seeks the daily results of 100% of the inverse performance of the namesake security.
Primarily, the central purpose behind these specialized financial vehicles is to facilitate a convenient mechanism for speculation. Typically, those interested in utilizing leverage or shorting a security must engage the options market. Though derivatives bring incredible flexibility to the table, they are inherently complex instruments. With Direxion ETFs, the individual units can be bought and sold, much like any other public security. Thus, the learning curve is comparatively shallow.
Still, caution is warranted regarding both leveraged and inverse ETFs. First, prospective investors should be aware of volatility risks. Second and most importantly, these products are designed for exposure lasting no longer than one day. Holding onto these ETFs beyond the recommended period may lead to value decay due to the impact of daily compounding.
The NFXL ETF: Since the start of the year, the Direxion Daily NFLX Bull 2X Shares has shot up over 65%, amplifying the remarkable rally of the namesake security so far this year.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Not surprisingly, momentum is robust for NFXL, with the bull fund storming above both its 50-day moving average (DMA) and its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA).</li>
<li>Moving forward, some choppiness wouldn't be out of the question given the valuation concerns. Still, holding the $50 psychological support line will be crucial.</li>

The NFXS ETF: In sharp contrast to its counterpart, the Direxion Daily NFLX Bear 1X Shares has lost more than 29% of market value since the start of the year.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>In an inverse performance to the bull fund, NFXS slipped conspicuously below its 50 DMA and its 20-day EMA.</li>
<li>For a reversal to materialize, the bears need to establish a support line at $15. Otherwise, the bear fund risks incurring further technical damage.</li>

Netflix Unusual Options Activity

Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) achieved a significant milestone as its live-action &#8220;Lilo &amp; Stitch&#8221; remake, alongside Tom Cruise&#8216;s &#8220;Mission: Impossible &#8211; The Final Reckoning,&#8221; propelled U.S. Memorial Day weekend box office receipts to a record-breaking $326.7 million.
What Happened: The combined performance of the top 10 films surpassed the previous Memorial Day record of $314.3 million set in 2013, according to Comscore ticket sales data from Friday through Monday, Reuters reported. 
This achievement represents crucial momentum for theatrical exhibition as the industry continues recovering from pandemic-related disruptions and streaming competition.
Disney&#8217;s &#8220;Lilo &amp; Stitch&#8221; remake generated $156 million domestically and added $158.7 million internationally, reaching a global total of $314.7 million. The family-oriented film, featuring a star-studded cast including Zach Galifianakis and Courtney B. Vance, reimagines the 2002 animated classic about an alien companion adopted by Hawaiian sisters.

Paramount Global&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) &#8220;Mission: Impossible &#8211; The Final Reckoning&#8221; contributed $78.5 million domestically while accumulating $205.5 million globally, with $127 million from international markets.

Why It Matters: The theatrical recovery gains significance as Disney&#8217;s streaming platform JioHotstar recently added 230 million subscribers in three months, nearing Netflix Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45604822/disney-and-ambanis-jiohotstar-adds-230-million-subscribers-in-3-months-nears-netflixs-global-total-driven-by-crickets-unmatched-pull-in-india">300 million global user base</a>.

Disney's 'Lilo & Stitch' Remake Leads Record $326 Million Memorial Day Box Office Weekend

JioHotstar, the newly merged streaming platform from Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) and Mukesh Ambani's Reliance, has added 230 million subscribers in just three months, bringing its total to 280 million, nearly matching Netflix Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45200209/exclusive-netflix-customers-excited-for-original-movies-squid-game-stranger-things-nfl-60-say-this-tops-2025-must-watch-list">300 million global users</a>.
What Happened: The platform's explosive growth was fueled by its exclusive digital and television rights to the Indian Premier League (IPL), the world's richest cricket league, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/ea6f401d-2989-48ba-aa8b-d0d7325cd021">reported</a> the Financial Times.
Before the merger, Reliance streamed matches for free. Now, cricket fans must subscribe to JioHotstar, with packages starting at just $0.60 per month.

According to Sanjog Gupta, CEO of Sports at JioStar, about 450 million people have watched IPL matches on both television and digital platforms since the season began in March, the report noted.
Gupta added that the IPL "pretty much delivered on all four vectors of growth," digital and TV advertising, and subscription revenue across both formats.

Why It's Important: The surge makes JioHotstar the largest streaming platform in India and a serious global contender. However, monetization remains a challenge, the report said.
Experts warn that while cricket delivers unmatched reach in India, converting that into long-term profit is difficult. A 2023 report by Jefferies said IPL's ad revenue didn't cover broadcasting costs, though it helps them create an "immense subscriber base."
Looking ahead to the 2027 rights renewal, analysts believe the Disney-Reliance alliance may dominate the bidding process, potentially bringing media rights pricing back to more sustainable levels.
Price Action: Disney shares dipped slightly by 0.20% in after-hours trading, reaching $109.50 at the time of writing. This followed a 1.20% drop during Friday's regular session, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Disney holds a robust growth score of 92.49%, highlighting the company's strong market momentum. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other stocks</a> like Netflix.

8 Communication Services Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Epic Games&#8216; popular battle royale game &#8220;Fortnite&#8221; has returned to Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) App Store in the United States after a nearly five-year absence, marking a significant shift in the mobile app ecosystem following a federal court ruling against Apple&#8217;s payment practices.
What Happened: Fortnite became available again on Apple&#8217;s iOS systems in the U.S. on Tuesday, ending a ban that began in 2020 when Apple removed the game from its platform amid a dispute over in-app payment commissions, as reported by Reuters. 
The return follows an April 30 ruling by a federal judge stating that Apple violated a U.S. court order requiring the company to allow greater competition for app downloads and payment methods.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney celebrated the return on social media platform X, posting &#8220;We back fam.&#8221; Sweeney has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/04/45123864/apple-ordered-to-ease-app-store-rules-in-us-epic-games-ceo-tim-sweeney-proposes-peace-deal-saying-well-return-fortnite-and-drop-all-litigation-only-if">proposed a peace deal</a>, offering to return Fortnite to the App Store worldwide and abandon all litigation if Apple relaxes its App Store rules globally. He revealed that battling Apple over the past five years has cost Epic Games over $1 billion, but he believes it was worth it.

Why It Matters: Apple has expressed apprehension over the potential financial consequences of the contempt ruling, warning it could lead to &#8220;substantial&#8221; financial losses estimated at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45277610/apple-warns-of-hundreds-of-millions-to-billions-dollar-losses-over-epic-games-ruling-seeks-stay-amid-app-store-shakeup">&#8220;hundreds of millions to billions&#8221;</a> of dollars annually.
The decision effectively prevents Apple from charging its usual commission of up to 30% on in-app payments for developers who direct users to alternative payment methods.
For Epic Games, this victory comes after a lengthy legal battle that began in 2020 when both Apple and Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google banned Fortnite from their stores over in-app payment disputes. The game had already returned to Android devices worldwide and iPhones in the European Union last year.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman&#8217;s past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene's past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Bitcoin ETF&nbsp;</a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President&nbsp;Donald Trump.
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;brushed aside the criticism.</a>
"I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades," Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared&nbsp;</a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
"I don't place my buys and sells,&#8221; Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. "He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that's what anybody that has financial sense does.&#8221;
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn't a secret.
Sen.&nbsp;Josh Hawley&nbsp;(R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House&nbsp;Nancy Pelosi&nbsp;(D-Calif.). &nbsp;
"Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents," Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. "Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public."
Hawley said the bill will help "restore Americans' trust in our nation's legislative body."
Hawley's bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
"Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it," Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it's important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.

The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) has been on a tear, rallying 20.53% over the past month and pushing into its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/technical-analysis">most overbought zone</a> since last July.

Powering this surge are tech juggernauts like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which soared nearly 40%, and Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), up over 20% in the same period. 
With investor enthusiasm running hot, QQQ now trades at $520.20, reflecting both momentum and mania.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">All Signals Point To Bullish</h2>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0520"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="631" height="486" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/20120911/Screenshot-2025-05-20-at-6.42.21-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-921603" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/20120911/Screenshot-2025-05-20-at-6.42.21-PM.png 631w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/20120911/Screenshot-2025-05-20-at-6.42.21-PM-300x231.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" /></a></figure>

Technically, the trend remains strongly bullish. QQQ trades above its five, 20, and 50-day exponential moving averages, while its eight-day simple moving average (SMA) of $514.13, 20-day SMA of $492.02, and 50-day SMA of $474.66 all flash bullish signals. 
Even the longer-term 200-day SMA sits well below at $493.11, underscoring the ETF&#8217;s sharp upward break. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reading of 14.66 and a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 70.17 confirm that QQQ is in overbought territory.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Caution: Euphoria Zone Ahead</h2>
While bulls are firmly in control, QQQ's RSI suggests we may be entering euphoria territory, where rallies can exhaust themselves. 
With many of the big names already logging massive gains, investors now face the classic question: Is this the breakout before a breather, or the setup for a sharper reversal?

From Nvidia To Netflix, QQQ Is On Fire - But Will It Burn Out?

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is adding more family entertainment in a push that could land the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44877995/netflix-crushes-q1-says-its-working-hard-to-improve-and-expand-its-offering">more paid subscribers </a>in the future.
What Happened: Long-running children's program "Sesame Street" is headed to Netflix, a deal announced months<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/03/44482913/sesame-street-faces-financial-struggles-as-hbo-deal-ends"> after a deal </a>with Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) ended.
Netflix also <a href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-welcomes-sesame-street-and-the-world-of-peppa-pig">announced </a>it is adding content from "The World of Peppa Pig."
"Today, we're excited to announced the new destination for these beloved titles is Netflix. Whether you love learning the letter of the day with Elmo or jumping in muddy puddles with Peppa, we have something for every kind of kid and every kind of family," Netflix said.
The deal will bring 90 hours of previous episodes from previous "Sesame Street" seasons to Netflix along with the upcoming all-new, reimagined 56th season later this year.
Netflix said the new season of "Sesame Street" will feature new segments and the return of fan-favorite segments like Elmo's World and Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck. The new episodes are expected to center on an 11-minute story, which allows for more character-driven development, "Sesame Street" parent Sesame Workshop <a href="https://sesameworkshop.org/about-us/press-room/sesame-street-is-coming-to-netflix/">said</a>.
New episodes of "Sesame Street" will also be available same day in the U.S. on PBS stations and PBS KIDS digital platforms for free.
New episodes of "Peppa Pig" Season 7 are available to stream now on Netflix in the United States.

Why It's Important: In the announcement, Netflix says that kids and family entertainment makes up 15% of its total viewing.
The company has well-known kids programming including "Ms. Rachel," "Gabby's Dollhouse," "CoComelon Lane," "Blippi" and more.
Netflix also said it is working on new animated series and films including "Stranger Things: Tales From '85," "Motel Transylvania," "Minecraft," "Ghostbusters," "Dr. Seuss" and more.
The company also said more games for kids are on the way. Netflix has the rights to develop video games based on "Sesame Street" and "Sesame Street Mecha Builders" as part of the deal with Sesame Workshop.
"So if you're looking for an entertaining new game or something to watch together, Elmo and Peppa think you and your family are going to have a great time on Netflix!"
The deal with Netflix is unusual for the streamer as it won't have as much exclusive control over new content, sharing the rights with PBS in the United States.
Sesame Workshop has been working to find a new partner after Warner's HBO Max streaming platform chose not to renew. The children's programming company and PBS have been the subject of negative attention from the Trump administration with a loss of funding.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock traded at $1,182.90 on Tuesday, compared to a 52-week trading range of $587.04 to $1,196.50. Netflix stock is up 33.4% year-to-date in 2025.

<h3>About Netflix</h3>
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.

A Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) analyst is downgrading shares of the streaming giant with the stock near all-time highs following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44877995/netflix-crushes-q1-says-its-working-hard-to-improve-and-expand-its-offering">first-quarter financial results.</a>
The Netflix Analyst: JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth downgraded Netflix stock from Overweight to Neutral and raised the price target from $1,150 to $1,220.

The Analyst Takeaways: With Netflix stock gaining significantly over the last year, the risk/reward in shares could be more balanced now, Anmuth said in a new investor note.
"To be clear, there's no change to our long-term bullish view on NFLX's streaming leadership position and the company's potential to effectively become global TV over time," Anmuth said.
The analyst said Netflix upside may already be factored into guidance and the summer months are typically slower for the streaming company.
"If tariff &amp; macro concerns continue to ease, we would expect rotation into other Internet names and parts of the market that have been more vulnerable &amp; pressured."
Anmuth recognizes that the downgrade could end up being wrong with Netflix having a strong slate of content for the back half of 2025. The analyst also said Netflix has several drivers, such as pricing power and advertising strength, that could make the 2026 and 2027 estimates higher.
Among the titles coming in the second half of 2025 include the return of the company's three most popular series of all time with new seasons of "Squid Game," "Stranger Things" and "Wednesday."
The analyst said Netflix stock deserves a premium, but investors may have too high of expectations for the second half of 2025.
"Since October 2022, NFLX shares have appreciated nearly 400% — or 5x — compared to the SPX up 60%. We move to the sidelines."
Long-term, Anmuth sees Netflix as one of the leaders in the disruption of linear television.
"With 300M+ global subs, Netflix has a strong leadership position in a rationalizing streaming industry and we expect NFLX to benefit."
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock is down 0.65% to $1,183.80 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $588.43 to $1,196.50. Netflix stock is up 33.9% year-to-date in 2025 and up over 85% in the last year.

Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)は、2024年7月から加入者向けに毎月新しいゲームをリリースする計画を発表した。
この野心的な戦略は、同社の最新決算電話会議で発表され、共同最高経営責任者（Co-CEO）および社長であるGregory K. Peters氏がNetflixのゲームポートフォリオを拡大すると宣言したと、GamesIndustry.Bizは報じている。
関連リンク: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39865226/netflix-analysts-praise-q2-earnings-but-are-cautious-on-advertising-growth-slower-t">Netflix、2024年7月から新しいゲームをリリースへ</a>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ゲームへの関心が高まって</h1>
Peters氏はゲーム市場の可能性を強調し、「広告収益を依存せずに中国とロシアを除いたゲーム市場の規模は約1500億ドルに達する」と述べた。
&#8220;我々はゲーム事業に向けて3年に近づいており、進捗に大変満足している。我々はかなり積極的なエンゲージメントの成長目標を設定してきた。そして多くの場合、それを達成し、むしろ超過してきた。 2023年にはそのエンゲージメントを3倍に拡大させた。我々は2024年にもエンゲージメントの成長が良好であり、2025年、2026年にはより積極的な成長目標を設定している」とPeters氏は語った。
これらの成功にもかかわらず、Peters氏はNetflixのゲームコンテンツへのエンゲージメントは依然として比較的小さいものであると認めた。また、同氏はNetflixのゲーム事業に対する支出は、同社の全コンテンツ支出と比較して控えめなものであることを指摘した。
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Netflixの将来の計画</h1>
Netflixはすでに100以上のゲームを発売しており、Peters氏は同社が開発中である80以上のゲームについても語った。同氏によると、焦点は成功を収めた事業に基づく提供の改良にある。
&#8220;私たちは何がうまくいき、何がうまくいかないかを知っています。私たちは現在開発中の80以上のゲームにおいて、うまくいくところをもっと増やすためのプログラムを改良し続けています。そしてそのうちの 1 つとして、我々のメンバーが愛する特定のNetflix IPに基づくゲームとの接続ということが、実際にはうまくいっているのです」とPeters氏は付け加えた。
Netflixが特に成功を収めている分野の 1 つは、インタラクティブストーリーゲームの分野である。これらのゲームはNetflix Storiesと呼ばれる物語のハブに組み込まれており、人気のあるNetflix番組に基づいた魅力的な体験を提供するために開発されている。
2024年4月から6月にかけて、Netflixは「バージン・リバー」と「Perfect Match」に基づいたゲームを発売した。同社は7月からは「翌月に 1 つずつ新しいタイトルをリリースする」と計画しており、今後の四半期や年にはさらに多くの多様なゲームがリリースされる予定だ。
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">リーダーシップからの刺激</h1>
Co-CEO兼社長であるTheodore A. Sarandos氏は、ファンとのエンゲージメントを深めるためにゲームが持つ可能性について興奮を表明した。
&#8220;私はゲームを使用してスーパーファンにサービスを提供する機会が本当に楽しく、また素晴らしいものだと思います。私は番組を提供し、そのプログラムを通じてシーズンの間や、それ以上にもスーパーファンに活躍の場を与えるというアイデアについても興奮しています。また、新しいキャラクターや新しいストーリーライン、あるいは新しいプロットの出来事を紹介するために、ゲームプラットフォームを使用できるというアイデアも非常にワクワクしているんです」とSarandos氏は語った。 次のリンクもお読みください:

Taipei（台北）で開催されたComputex（コンピューテック

ネットフリックはは、新たにリアリティ番組「ミリオン・ダラー・シークレット」を立ち上げるに当たり、「スカッドゲーム」の成功を手本にすることを計画しています。
出来事：2023年下半期のNetflixで15番目に視聴されたTV番組であり3,300万以上の視聴回数を記録している「スカッドゲーム」の人気を受けて、この新番組はイギリス人俳優でありコメディアンでもあるPeter Serafinowiczがホスト役を務め、11人の出場者が1,000万ドルの賞金を受賞した12番目の参加者を見つけるためのクエストに出ます。 最後に残った出場者が賞金を獲得することになります。
この番組は全8エピソードで構成され、同じような視聴者層にアピールできるように設計されています。これは「スカッドゲーム」のリメイクを企画するNetflixにとって重要なことです。
Netflixはこの新シリーズについて、戦略的な要素を持つと説明しています。「8つのエピソードにわたり、運の悪いプレイヤーたちは100万ドルを持つ富豪を見つけ出し、自分たちのために現金を確保するために彼を追い詰めていかなければなりません。富豪がゲームから離脱するたびに、新しい誰かに賞金が移動します。」
「もし富豪が良い状況になると、彼らは競争の中で1日もう少し生き残るために賞金を捨てることができます」と、Netflixはゲーム番組のフォーマットについて説明しています。
1,000,000ドルの賞金は、現在の保有者を見つけ出し、排除する出場者に移され、リスクと報酬のダイナミクスを生み出します。 この番組について、どのような日付にプレミアが開かれるかは、Netflixからまだ発表されていません。
