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.

Streaming service provider Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is doubling down on its commitment to Mexico&#8217;s audiovisual industry with a <a target="_blank" href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/ted-sarandos-keynote-mexicos-presidency-press-conference" rel="noreferrer noopener">new $1 billion investment</a>.
In a statement from Co- CEO Ted Sarandos, the company emphasized its continued commitment to local content production.
The investment, set to take place over the next four years, aims to generate employment opportunities and stimulate audiovisual industry development throughout Mexico, underscoring Netflix&#8217;s enduring partnership with Mexican creatives, having been behind acclaimed projects such as Roma and Pedro Páramo.
In his keynote address at Mexico&#8217;s presidency press conference, Sarandos discussed Netflix&#8217;s long history of working with local talent.
&#8220;This country holds a special place in Netflix&#8217;s own history. It was here, 10 years ago, where we produced our first series outside of the United States called Club de Cuervos. We created it in Mexico for Mexico — and it paved the way for our programming strategy, which is all about local production,&#8221; said Sarandos.

Since then, Netflix has earned several Academy Awards for Mexican-produced films, reinforcing its commitment to Mexico&#8217;s thriving creative industry.
Sarandos highlighted that each film and series made in Mexico collaborates with local production companies, providing significant benefits to the national economy.
For example, the production of Pedro Páramo added over 375 million pesos to Mexico&#8217;s GDP, created thousands of jobs, and supported traditional artisan skills.
The company has formed numerous local partnerships, producing hundreds of films and series that engage the community in various ways.
The company plans to collaborate with Churubusco Studios to enhance its facilities.
Price Action: NFLX shares closed lower by 1.80% at $1,024.54 on Thursday.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Netflix 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) could have its eyes on more National Football League games after the successful debut of the company's Christmas Day games that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42711504/lebron-james-vs-nfl-nba-star-says-christmas-is-our-day-2024-ratings-paint-a-different-picture">broke streaming records.</a>
What Happened: For years, Netflix has resisted calls to push further into sports rights, opting instead to do one-off live events or what it called<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/07/33308114/netflix-doesnt-want-to-live-sports-and-chill-were-happy-with-sports-adjacent-programming-ce"> "sports adjacent" content.</a>
The company's sports documentaries and reality series like "Drive to Survive" have helped leagues and athletes get more attention with a surge in viewership and increased fans for Liberty Formula One (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FWONA#NASDAQ">FWONA</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FWONK#NASDAQ">FWONK</a>) owned Formula 1 racing league often <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/09/23071390/could-a-netflix-formula-one-streaming-partnership-reach-the-finish-line">credited to Netflix.</a>
Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria was asked about the pursuit of more NFL games during an appearance on "The Town" podcast.
"I definitely want the Sunday (afternoon) games," Bajaria said, as reported by <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/netflix-shifts-strategy-pursuing-nfl-sunday-rights/">FrontOfficeSports</a>.
The answer came when asked which NFL media rights Netflix would be interested in. Netflix later acknowledged that the comments were informal ones made by Bajaria and not a new content strategy shift.
As reported by FrontOfficeSports, the current Sunday afternoon NFL games are part of media rights packages with CBS, which is owned by 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>) and Fox, which is owned by 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>).
Those deals are set to expire after the 2033 NFL season, but the NFL has an opt-out clause that could see it end the deals early after the 2029 season. A deal with The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) for "Monday Night Football" ends after the 2030 season.
Given strong viewership and demand from media companies to land NFL content, the league could choose to end the deals early.

Why It's Important: While Bajaria's comments were in passing and not an official announcement, they signal interest in adding more NFL content.
Netflix is currently on a three-year deal with the NFL that gets the streaming company at least one game every Christmas Day.
In 2024, Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42711504/lebron-james-vs-nfl-nba-star-says-christmas-is-our-day-2024-ratings-paint-a-different-picture">streamed two games</a> on Christmas with the games having averages of 24.3 million viewers (Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans) and 24.1 million viewers (Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers).
Those games set new NFL streaming records for the regular season, surpassing even the 23.0 million viewers of Peacock's exclusive streaming game during the 2023 NFL playoffs.
Prime Video, which is the streaming platform owned by Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), partnered with the NFL for the rights to "Thursday Night Football." Amazon's weekly broadcast has helped boost the company's streaming subscribers and advertising revenue.
"Thursday Night Football" games averaged 13.2 million viewers during the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43013529/amazon-scores-record-with-steelers-ravens-nfl-playoffs-stream-how-game-stacks-up-with-other-media-streamers"> 2024 NFL season</a>, up 11% year-over-year.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos has often shied away from saying the company wants full sports seasons. In January, he told investors that the economics didn't work and the "live events business" was where the company wanted to be.
Previously, Sarandos said the company wasn't "anti-sports," but rather "pro-profit."
The Netflix Christmas Day games saw huge advertising demand and likely broke even on revenue for the company, not counting the additional subscribers the company gained along the way.
Over the past year, Netflix has launched a live boxing event headlined by Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, had two NFL games on Christmas and launched its new partnership with WWE, which is a unit of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>).
Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42628116/netflix-adds-womens-world-cup-media-rights-from-football-to-futbol-streamer-all-in-on-live-sports">landed the U.S. rights </a>to the Women's World Cup in 2027 and 2031. The company is also said<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43570574/netflix-eyes-formula-one-us-broadcast-rights-starting-in-2026-report"> to be exploring</a> a bid for the U.S. rights to Formula 1. ESPN has had the rights to Formula 1 since 2018 and its deal expires after the 2025 season.
While Netflix previously avoided live sports and full seasons, its new strategy seems focused on acquiring as much sports content as possible to drive advertising and subscriber revenue.
Netflix ended<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43114866/netflix-q4-earnings-record-subscribers-nfl-squid-game-push-past-highest-expectations"> the fourth quarter</a> with 301.63 million global paid subscribers, adding a record 18.91 million in the quarter. The company will no longer break out subscriber figures, which means more attention will be placed on revenue and the company's content.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock was down 0.1% to $1,033.66 on Wednesday, compared to a 52-week trading range of $542.01 to $1,064.50. However, Netflix stock has increased 79% over the last year.

Netflix Wants More NFL Games After Christmas Day Success: Could League Spark Bidding War With CBS, Fox?

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) continues to lead the premium streaming market in South Korea with impressive growth in 2024. However, the domestic platform&nbsp;Tving almost matched Netflix&#8217;s market share.
Korean audiences streamed 131 billion minutes&nbsp;of premium VOD content last year, up &nbsp;18%, Variety cites the data from Media Partners Asia.

Netflix retained its dominance with a&nbsp;35% viewership share, but Tving reached a&nbsp;34% share, up by&nbsp;10 points. Together, the two streaming firms accounted for&nbsp;70% of premium VOD viewership&nbsp;and 80% of new subscriptions&nbsp;in 2024.
In the fourth quarter, Netflix secured&nbsp;39% of viewership, backed by&nbsp;&#8220;Squid Game,&#8221; &#8220;Culinary Class Wars,&#8221;&nbsp;and licensed titles.&nbsp; Netflix&#8217;s partnership offering free, ad-supported viewing to&nbsp;Naver Plus members posed an additional tailwind.
Tving ended 2024 with 5.2 million subscribers, trailing Netflix&#8217;s 7.8 million Korean subscribers.
E-commerce giant Coupang Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPNG#NYSE">CPNG</a>) Coupang Play clocked 3.2 million subscribers, backed by its investments in local series and sports content.
Netflix stock surged over 80% in the last 12 months. It reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43114866/netflix-q4-earnings-record-subscribers-nfl-squid-game-push-past-highest-expectations" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $10.25 billion, up 16%, topping the Street consensus estimate of $10.11 billion.
The EPS of $4.27 beat the Street consensus estimate of $4.19.
Netflix added 18.91 million paid subscribers in the quarter, up 15.9%. The company ended the quarter with 301.63 million paid subscribers.
The average revenue per member was up 1%. Gary Black of the Future Fund LLC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/43150781/netflix-crushed-q4-thanks-to-sports-squid-game-says-gary-black-analyst-highlights-low-attrition-despite-price-hikes-predicts-stock-upside" rel="noreferrer noopener">credited the performance</a> to live sports strategy, including Mile Tyson–Jake Paul&nbsp;fight and&nbsp;Beyoncé&#8217;s&nbsp;Christmas show, original content, and price hike.
Netflix expects first-quarter revenue of $10.42 billion (below consensus of $10.50 billion) and EPS of $5.58 (below consensus of $5.72).
Netflix estimated 750 million+ broadband households, excluding China and Russia, with the streaming giant capturing ~6% of the $650 billion revenue opportunity in its four key geographical markets.
It expects to account for less than 10% of TV viewing in every country it operates in, implying a long runway for growth.
Bernstein&#8217;s&nbsp;Laurent Yoon projected upside for Netflix, citing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43763406/analyst-stays-bullish-on-netflix-sets-1200-price-target-formula-1-racing-and-video-podcasting-to-expand-total-addressable-market" rel="noreferrer noopener">potential from&nbsp;live events</a>, sports broadcasting, and possible forays into Formula 1&nbsp;racing and podcasting.
Netflix is a holding in 346 U.S.-traded&nbsp;ETFs.&nbsp;It&nbsp;has around 48.1 million shares in the U.S.&nbsp;ETF&nbsp;market. Investors can gain exposure to the stock through Invesco Next Gen Media and Gaming ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GGME#NYSE">GGME</a>) and MicroSectors FANG ETNs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNGS#NYSE">FNGS</a>).
Price Action: NFLX stock is down 2.22% at $1,035.13 at last check Tuesday.

'Squid Game' Fuels Netflix's Dominance in South Korea's Booming Streaming Market: Report

In a career that constantly seems to be scaling new heights, broker and reality T.V. star <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/01/43134231/ryan-serhant-describes-an-exodus-from-la-to-new-york-for-home-seekers-will-the-east-coast-pick-up-the-slack">Ryan Serhant</a> just hit a new one: &#8220;Sold and closed the most expensive home of my entire career today for just under $200M,&#8221; he wrote in a<a href="https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/ryan-serhant-sells-200-million-dollar-property"> Instagram story</a> on Feb. 4.&nbsp;
If that wasn&#8217;t enough, the star of Netflix&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) "Owning Manhattan" secured the deal while giving new meaning to the mile-high club.

It marks a notable coup for Serhant—an out-of-town broker swooping in to land a coveted deal under local luxury brokerages&#8217; noses. He&#8217;s made it a signature move, pulling off the same play in<a href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/local/delray/2023/10/06/million-dollar-listing-new-york-star-ryan-serhant-in-south-florida-selling-luxury-homes/70989273007/"> Delray Beach</a> two years ago.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Dizzying Year Of Milestones</h2>
It&#8217;s been a dizzying year of milestones for the former out-of-work actor and hand model who decided to trade careers, selling real estate instead of<a href="https://www.bravotv.com/million-dollar-listing-new-york/lookbook/ryan-serhant-hand-modeling-career-reflection"> cell phones</a>. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43700767/netflix-stock-attractive-at-all-time-highs-for-analyst-virtuous-circle-of-strong-subscriber-growth-more-revenue-and-growing-profit">Netflix</a> reality series "Selling Manhattan" was a game changer.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Net Worth That Keeps Rising</h2>
While multiple websites have put Serhant&#8217;s net worth to be about $40 million, it&#8217;s hard to put an exact number on his wealth because with each deal, his agents close his brokerage, and thus, he makes a commission. A 6% broker&#8217;s fee of $200 million is $12 million. If SERHANT nets 50% of that, it would be $6 million, from which he would need to pay agents and funnel some of the money back into the costs of running his business. Assuming his agents are doing multiple high-end deals daily, the commissions returning to the brokerage owner could be considerable.&nbsp;
That doesn&#8217;t include the money he stands to make from Season 2 of "Owning Manhattan," his rabid social media following, books, new<a href="https://www.realtor.com/advice/reality-tv/ryan-serhant-ai-investment-millions/"> AI platform, S.mple,</a> live appearances, and his luxury Brooklyn Heights brownstone, which cost $7.6 million when he purchased it in 2018 before undergoing a<a href="https://www.bravotv.com/million-dollar-listing-ryans-renovation/style-living/ryan-serhants-townhouse-renovation-before-after#:~:text=How%20to%20Watch,photos%20of%20the%20stunning%20renovation!"> $2.6 million renovation</a>.

Ryan Serhant Closed The Biggest Deal Of His Career For $200 Million. This Is How The Celebrity Broker Elevated His Business

Bernstein SocGen Group&nbsp;has reiterated its positive stance on&nbsp;Netflix Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), maintaining&nbsp;an Outperform rating and a&nbsp;price target of $1,200
What Happened: Bernstein SocGen Group&#8217;s analyst, Laurent Yoon highlighted the recent 40% price increase for Netflix&#8217;s standard tier in the U.S., which translates to a 7% CAGR in pricing since Q1 2020. Despite this hike, user consumption has remained relatively stable, according <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/bernstein-keeps-their-buy-rating-on-netflix-nflx-1034347297">to</a> a report by Business Insider.
Although the average revenue per membership (ARM) has remained steady due to currency exchange fluctuations and the launch of an ad-supported tier, the analyst believes that average revenue per user (ARPU) could be a significant factor in driving future profit growth, reinforced by an increase in subscribers.
The analyst also highlighted Netflix&#8217;s ventures into live events, sports broadcasting, and possible forays into new content areas like Formula 1 racing and podcasting. Bernstein analysts suggest that this action is in line with the company&#8217;s wider strategy to grow its total addressable market (TAM) and increase user engagement.
Netflix is reportedly securing exclusive agreements with popular podcasters or providing ad-free versions of existing shows for paying subscribers.
According to Bernstein, these efforts provide a sustainable approach for Netflix to validate future price increases. Yoon&#8217;s analysis expresses confidence in Netflix's ability to adjust its content strategy to uphold its status as a leading value provider in the streaming industry.

Analyst Stays Bullish On Netflix, Sets $1,200 Price Target: Formula 1 Racing, Video Podcasting To Expand Total Addressable Market

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas">many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
The S&amp;P 500 rose about 1.5% this week, while the Dow gained 0.6% and the Nasdaq climbed 2.6%. Inflation remains a concern, but Wall Street stayed resilient as optimism grew around Ukraine peace talks and President Donald Trump's tariff proposal, which appeared less severe than initially expected. 
January's Consumer Price Index rose 3% year-over-year, exceeding forecasts, with energy and food prices—particularly eggs—driving the increase, while core inflation also came<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43692996/inflation-fears-mount-as-producer-prices-soar-to-35-put-fed-interest-rate-cut-on-ice"> in hotter than anticipated. </a>
Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled no urgency to cut interest rates, prompting investors to push back expectations for the first rate cut to December, with some economists even suggesting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43748007/inflation-spikes-in-january-wall-street-rallies-on-ukraine-peace-talks-delayed-tariffs-this-week-in-the-markets">hike could be on the table.</a>

<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.

What the Options Market Tells Us About Netflix

A wave of full-shopping boycotts has taken hold in parts of Europe, with consumers in the Balkans leading the charge against skyrocketing grocery prices. Now, a movement in the U.S. is adopting a similar strategy—but for an entirely different reason.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">European Consumers Push Back Against Rising Costs</h2>
Shoppers across the Balkans recently organized supermarket boycotts to protest soaring food prices and a worsening cost of living crisis. Under the leadership of the consumer rights organization Hello, Inspector, the campaign began in Croatia and swiftly expanded to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Serbia.

</ul>
The boycott had an immediate impact. In Croatia alone, supermarket transactions dropped by 44%, and total sales plunged by 53%, according to tax authorities. In response, the Croatian government increased the number of price-capped essentials from 30 to 70. In an attempt to regain customers, grocery chains such as Kaufland and Konzum announced price reductions and frozen prices on a few products.

Full-Shopping Boycotts Sweep Europe Over High Prices—Now, One US Community Is Following Suit But For A Different Cause

A Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) analyst says investors are focused on advertising growth opportunities and price hikes after the recent fourth-quarter financials that saw record membership growth. 
The Netflix Analyst: JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth reiterated an Overweight rating on Netflix with a $1,150 price target.
The Analyst Takeaways: Netflix's fourth-quarter financial results showed confidence in 2025 revenue growth and a strong content slate, Anmuth said in a new investor note.
"We expect NFLX's 2025 revenue growth to be driven by strong engagement &amp; organic sub growth, along with ARM growth through recent price increases," Anmuth said.
The analyst highlights strong engagement of Netflix content with around 200 billion hours of content viewed in 2024 or around two hours per member per day.
Price hikes are likely to be a key catalyst for the company going forward, Anmuth added.
"We estimate the US &amp; UK price hikes will increase annualized revenue by ~$2B in the US &amp; ~$370M in the UK, which gives us increased confidence in NFLX's revenue guidance, with room for potential upside."
The analyst predicts there will not be much pushback on the price increases with a strong content slate and Google Trends data showing search interest for "Cancel Netflix" has normalized.
Anmuth said investors are shifting their focus to Netflix's advertising business, which could be related to the successful rollout of the first-party platform in Canada in the fourth quarter. The platform will be rolled out to the United States in April.
The analyst expects Netflix to balance its content spending with its goal of margin expansion.
"We believe the backdrop for content acquisition remains favorable, &amp; we expect a healthy mix of original/licensed content into 2025."
Anmuth sees Netflix pushing deeper into live sports over time.
The analyst highlights a strong first-quarter content slate of series and movies along with weekly WWE Raw content that debuted on Jan. 6, "which we believe should drive weekly appointment viewing."

The restaurant is <a href="https://mgmgrand.mgmresorts.com/en/restaurants/netflix-bites.html">located </a>in the Las Vegas MGM Grand Hotel &amp; Casino, which is operated by MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>).
Open to the public, customers do not have to be staying at the hotel or going to the casino to take part in the restaurant dining <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/netflix-bites-is-now-open-302373916.html">options</a>.

The streaming company has ventured further into experiences that can provide diversification opportunities and ways to expand on the company's original brands.
This includes having experiences for "Bridgerton," "Stranger Things" and "Squid Game" previously.
Netflix is also opening "experiential entertainment venues" at Texas and Pennsylvania <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39439112/will-netflix-save-shopping-malls-new-experiences-a-potential-game-changer-for-retail-center">shopping malls this year </a>that will offer restaurants with food inspired by Netflix shows and sell merchandise from the company's shows and movies.
The company said it has reached 7.5 million fans across 170 openings in 100 cities around the world for its various experiences.

For a second straight year, the Super Bowl has broken a viewership record with 126 million viewers watching the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/02/43583513/eagles-fly-over-chiefs-40-22-as-super-bowl-lix-tests-potential-137-million-viewership-for-fox">Kansas City Chiefs.</a>
What Happened: A lopsided victory for the Eagles over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX appears to have had a minimal impact on viewership for media rights partner 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 was able to secure $7 million to $8 million for most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43324031/super-bowl-lix-commercials-hit-record-8-million-how-fox-corporation-can-win-from-nfl-championship">30-second ad slots</a>.
New <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/fox-projects-super-bowl-lix-averaged-record-126-million-u-s-viewers#:~:text=Fox%20Sports%20is%20projecting%20a,as%20the%20NFL's%20digital%20platforms.">data </a>from Fox and Nielsen says an average of 126 million viewers watched Super Bowl LIX, up 2% from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/02/37109382/super-bowl-lviii-sets-modern-day-viewership-record-how-did-nfl-championship-compare-to-apollo-11-mo"> last year's record 123.7 million.</a>
Viewership peaked at 135.7 million average viewers around the 8 p.m. ET to 8:15 p.m. ET time slot, which was in the second quarter.
The game was shown on Fox, Fox Deportes, Telemundo and streamed on Tubi and NFL digital channels.
Super Bowl LIX set a Super Bowl record for streaming with 14.5 million average viewers, including 13.6 million on Tubi.
This marks the second straight year with a viewership record for the Super Bowl if the figures hold in the final Nielsen and internal figures. This would also mark the third straight year of an average of 100 million or more viewers.
Several years ago Super Bowl viewership dipped below 100 million viewers, but new tracking for streaming and out-of-home viewership has inflated the numbers to likely more accurate figures.

Why It's Important: The record average viewership and peak audience indicate that fears of viewers dropping off were exaggerated.
The Eagles held a commanding 24-0 lead at halftime before winning 40-22. There was some concern that the companies spending millions on advertisements in the second half of the game could see fewer viewers.
Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance also drew criticism on social media from many people who would have preferred musicians from genres other than rap to perform. The viewership figures likely indicate that the halftime show was among the most watched parts of the game. The final viewership figures will be released later this week, and more game details will be provided.

The record Super Bowl viewership comes as 2024 NFL viewership was down overall, but saw several records set. Overall NFL viewership averaged 17.5 million viewers per game, down 2% year-over-year. This total marked the sixth highest in NFL history.
NFL Playoffs viewership averaged 35.2 million, not including the Super Bowl, which was down 9% year-over-year.
Streaming companies like Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) owned Prime Video set records <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43013529/amazon-scores-record-with-steelers-ravens-nfl-playoffs-stream-how-game-stacks-up-with-other-media-streamers">for streaming viewership</a> with games during the season. 
Netflix's two Christmas Day games averaged 24.1 million and 24.3 million viewers, marking the most-streamed regular season NFL games. Amazon saw an overall boost to its viewership during the season with its NFL Playoffs game breaking company records.
FOX Price Action: Fox stock is up 0.5% to $50.62 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $25.82 to $52.54. Fox stock is up 9.5% year-to-date in 2025 and 80.7% over the last year.

What Happened: Last week, Similarweb posted its latest desktop traffic rankings for January 2025.&nbsp;
The latest rankings reveal that Alphabet Inc.'s (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>) Google continues to dominate with a 29.21% traffic share, followed by YouTube at 20.40%.
Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Facebook holds the third spot with 5.08%, while WhatsApp and Instagram are fourth and fifth, respectively.

ChatGPT follows closely with a 2.33% traffic share, showing a notable month-over-month increase of 5.91%.
X, formerly Twitter ranks seventh with a 1.92% traffic share, and Yahoo is eighth at 1.88%. Reddit Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) and Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) complete the top ten list.
Reacting to the ranking, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took to X, and said, "Man, still a long way to go to run down Google."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Why It&#8217;s Important: In December 2022, almost a month after ChatGPT had its public release, it was reported Google had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/12/30170477/chatgpt-popularity-reportedly-leads-to-google-declaring-code-red-as-sundar-pichai-increases-involvem-1">declared a &#8220;code red,&#8221;</a> seeing it posing a threat to its search dominance.&nbsp;
In October 2024, OpenAI further challenged Google by unveiling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41663190/openai-rolls-out-chatgpt-search-google-shares-slide">ChatGPT Search</a>, enabling users to access real-time information, a feature traditionally dominated by search engines.
By December, OpenAI expanded this feature to all users, including those on the free tier, enhancing its accessibility and reach.
Meanwhile, Musk, who co-founded OpenAI and then left in 2018, has reportedly made a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43609104/elon-musk-co-founded-openai-now-hes-bidding-974b-to-take-back-the-company">$97.4-billion bid</a> to regain control of the company.

Today, at 11:16 AM on February 7th, a significant trading signal occurred for Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $1012.80. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Netflix&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

TRADEPULSE POWER INFLOW ALERT: NETFLIX INC., NFLX, RECEIVES ALERT AND MOVES UP 1.4% AFTER TRADEPULSE ALERT

When most people hear Hasbro Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) they think of the company's toys and games like Transformers, G.I. Joe, Monopoly, Nerf and Play-Doh. Thanks to a new entertainment announcement, investors could soon focus more on the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/02/25725395/100-upside-what-a-wizards-of-the-coast-spinoff-could-mean-for-hasbro">Wizards of the Coast division.</a>
What Happened: Hasbro Entertainment is launching a film and television universe based on the Magic: The Gathering game, which comes as the brand saw strong growth in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41515616/monopoly-maker-hasbro-inventory-falls-39-in-q3-cfo-vows-to-finish-2024-with-improved-profitability"> the third quarter</a>.
Magic: The Gathering, launched in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast, was the world's first trading card game and became a staple in the sector over the years. Hasbro acquired Wizards of the Coast in 1999 and in recent years has seen increased growth from the sector thanks to digital gaming.
Hasbro is teaming up with Legendary Entertainment, a leading entertainment company that counts Apollo Global Management (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) as its co-owner with Legendary.
Legendary Entertainment and Hasbro plan to launch a movie first and then expand into television, following a similar path of the "Dune" franchise, which Legendary Entertainment also worked on, as <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/magic-the-gathering-film-tv-universe-1236129132/">reported </a>by The Hollywood Reporter. 
"We pride ourselves on being thoughtful caretakers of singular, beloved IP, and no property better fits that description than Magic: The Gathering," Legendary's Chairwoman of worldwide production Mary Parent said.
Legendary has worked on turning brands into franchises before with Dune, Godzilla Vs. Kong and the upcoming "Minecraft" movie.
Hasbro has a Magic: The Gathering TV show in the works for Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). A planned movie was in the works for years but never was created.
"This is an exciting and complementary partnership, uniting one of the world' most iconic brands with a powerful and proven steward," Hasbro Entertainment head of film Zev Foreman said.

Why It's Important: Magic: The Gathering has been played by 50 million people around the world and has a strong built-in fan base that could translate to a strong reception for the movies and TV shows.
Not all game adaptations work out successfully as several Dungeons &amp; Dragons movies did not perform strongly at the box office. Wizards of the Coast also owns Dungeons &amp; Dragons.
Hasbro has played a key role in adapting its brands into movies and TV shows, including the popular Transformers franchise.
The partnership with Legendary could be the key here as the company has successfully turned Dune into a strong movie and TV franchise.
Hasbro's Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment continues to be a strong performer for the company and with the latest entertainment news could provide more upside for shareholders.
In 2022, an activist shareholder pushed for Hasbro to spinoff Wizards of the Coast, suggesting there could be significant upside for Hasbro's share price by unlocking the key growth segment.
HAS Price Action: Hasbro stock trades at $58.92 versus a 52-week trading range of $46.10 to $73.46.

Hasbro Moves To Expand Magic: The Gathering Into Film & TV — Why Legendary Matters

Subscription video-on-demand over-the-top streaming service provider Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is considering bidding for the U.S. live broadcasting rights for Formula One, with the rights set to begin in 2026.
ESPN has held the rights since 2017 and will see its agreement end after the 2025 season. ESPN is a unit of&nbsp;The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>).
The rising appeal of Formula One in the U.S., partly driven by the success of Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;Drive to Survive&#8221; series, has led to a resurgence of interest in airing the sport, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6120990/2025/02/07/formula-1-netflix-tv-espn/" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Athletic</a> reports.
ESPN&#8217;s existing agreement, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/06/27850945/espn-beats-out-amazon-comcast-and-netflix-for-formula-1-rights-here-are-the-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">extended in 2022, grants them the F1 broadcasting </a>rights until 2025. Now that ESPN&#8217;s exclusive period has ended, other broadcasters, including major streaming services, are competing for the rights.

Netflix&#8217;s expansion into sports and live programming is gaining momentum, highlighted by the high demand for the recently aired <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42653325/exclusive-netflix-to-have-merry-christmas-with-nfl-games-will-viewers-tune-in-60-say" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match</a>.
The streaming service recently announced that it will exclusively broadcast the 2027 and 2031 Women&#8217;s World Cups for American audiences.
Last December, Netflix streamed two NFL games, marking the beginning of a multi-year agreement. Under this deal, the streaming platform will air at least one game each Christmas in 2024, 2025, and 2026, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/12/42701434/netflixs-nfl-debut-brings-record-streams-but-lags-traditional-tv-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">valued at $150 million annually</a>.
The games attracted an average viewership of more than 26 million U.S. viewers. Nielsen reported that these games were the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42783613/65-million-nfl-views-propel-netflix-toward-long-term-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener"> most-streamed in NFL history</a>.
The success of these games has further strengthened Netflix&#8217;s reputation as a live-streaming platform and propelled interest in increasing sports content.
The pursuit is not without competition, though. Netflix&#8217;s rival Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), in partnership with Walt Disney Co. and Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>), secured an 11-year, $77 billion agreement to air NBA games last July.
Amazon dedicates around $3 billion each year to sports content, covering broadcasting rights for major leagues such as the NBA and NFL.
Historically, Formula One has collaborated with network broadcasters in the U.S., having previously worked with Fox and NBC before ESPN acquired the broadcasting rights.
Apparently, Netflix&#8217;s market value now surpasses the combined worth of the media firms owning the four major U.S. broadcast networks, including CBS, owned by&nbsp;Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>), NBC owned by&nbsp;Comcast Corporation, FOX owned by&nbsp;Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>) and ABC, owned by&nbsp;The Walt Disney Company.
In the fourth quarter, Netflix added 18.9 million new paid subscribers, setting a company milestone. By the end of the quarter, the company reached 301.6 million global paid subscribers, solidifying its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/43145703/netflix-worth-more-than-disney-paramount-comcast-fox-combined" rel="noreferrer noopener">lead in the streaming industry</a>.
Price Action: NFLX shares are trading higher by 0.23% at $1,018.11 at the last check Friday.

Finally -- what's the point of all this? The key insight to take from this article is to note how much of a difference compounded returns can make in your cash growth over a period of time.
This article was generated by Benzinga's automated content engine and reviewed by an editor.

Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) CEO Bob Iger believes that ESPN gives the company a significant edge over streaming rivals like Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Prime Video.
What Happened: During Disney's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43494650/disney-q1-earnings-powered-by-moana-2-and-mufasa-theme-parks-loses-streaming-subscribers">first-quarter earnings</a> call, Iger highlighted ESPN's year-round, 24/7 sports coverage as a key differentiator.
Other streamers are getting into the sports game Disney has the advantage of a menu of sports programming that no one else has, Iger said. "We're on 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. So, if you're a sports fan, it's not about one day of boxing or one day of football, it's about sports every single day of the year."

He also addressed Disney's broader strategy of making ESPN available across multiple platforms, including skinny bundles and a dedicated flagship streaming service set to launch later this year.
Some will want to consume ESPN as part of a linear channel, others will migrate in the direction of skinnier bundles or sports bundles, he said, adding, "We plan to take advantage" of all of these opportunities.

Why It Matters: Disney&#8217;s first-quarter earnings report revealed a 5% year-on-year revenue growth to $24.70 billion, surpassing analyst expectations.
However, Disney experienced a decline of 0.7 million in Disney+ Core paid subscribers, ending the quarter with 125 million subscribers. Sports revenue, primarily driven by ESPN, stayed the same compared to last year, totaling $4.85 billion.
Last month, Netflix posted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43114866/netflix-q4-earnings-record-subscribers-nfl-squid-game-push-past-highest-expectations">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $10.25 billion, a 16% increase from the previous year.
At the time, Gary Black highlighted the Mike Tyson&#8211;Jake Paul fight and Beyoncé&#8217;s Christmas show as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/43150781/netflix-crushed-q4-thanks-to-sports-squid-game-says-gary-black-analyst-highlights-low-attrition-despite-price-hikes-predicts-stock-upside">key drivers for Netflix's 18.9</a> million net subscriber gains, exceeding the expected 9.2 million.
Amazon is also reportedly shifting its Prime Video focus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43215631/amazon-prime-video-shifts-focus-to-live-sports-looks-to-become-profitable-by-end-of-2025">toward live sports</a>, investing heavily in sports content to achieve profitability by the end of 2025. The company is scheduled to report its earnings on Feb. 6.
Price Action: Disney&#8217;s stock fell by 0.22% in after-hours trading, ending at $110.30. Earlier on Wednesday, it closed at $110.54, reflecting a 2.44% drop, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

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。
なぜ重要なのか：「ミリオン・ダラー・シークレット」の発表は、Netflixが強い第1四半期の収益を発表した直後にもたらされました。この四半期、このストリーミング大手では、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38278466/netflix-q1-earnings-preview-subscriber-growth-potential-price-increase-ad-tier-plan">総収益927.5億ドルを計上</a>しました（<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/feature/newsfeed?gspk=bHVrZWphY29iaTUzNDg&amp;gsxid=tdEE0VrK8Jeg&amp;ref=lukejacobi5348" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Proのデータによる）。</a> Netflixはまた、第4四半期に1312万人の新規加入者を獲得し、累計2602万8000人となりました。
4月には、同社は同じくシェアアカウントのモニタリングにより、1,000万アカウントが利用されていることが報告されました。つまり、1つのアカウントを複数の家族が利用しているという状況です。 この問題に対処するため、Netflixは同じ家族でないユーザーにアクセスできないように制限をかける方針です。
