NETFLIX INC

Netflix

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

10 Communication Services Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Technology companies using a subscription-based business model are more likely to weather economic uncertainty amid the ongoing big-tech selloff, according to CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer. The charts of both Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) showcase a bullish trend based on the <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
What Happened: Chartist Bob Lang&#8216;s analysis, reviewed by Cramer, indicates positive outlooks for Spotify and Netflix, with potential for Roku Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>). Cramer highlights their subscription models&#8217; resilience amidst macroeconomic uncertainty.
"If I were to do this, I would buy common stock Spotify, I would buy common stock Netflix, and I would buy calls on Roku – that way I cut off my downside," said Cramer on his Mad Money <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/24/jim-cramer-chart-shows-how-netflix-spotify-can-weather-uncertainty.html">show</a> on Monday.
Why It Matters: Here&#8217;s an analysis of Netflix and Spotify&#8217;s daily charts.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix</h3>
Netflix was higher by 9.62% on a year-to-date basis, outperforming many tech peers, highlighted Cramer. He says that its daily charts reveal a recent rebound with high volume and the MACD exhibits a bullish crossover, a significant positive signal.
According to the data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, NFLX&#8217;s share price of $971.99 apiece as of Monday&#8217;s close was trading above its short and long-term trading averages, whereas its relative strength index of 54 was in the neutral zone.
However, the momentum indicator MACD indicates that the stock is in a bearish trend as the score of its MACD line was -2.52, showing that its 12-period exponential moving average is below the 26-period EMA.
However, the histogram has a positive number of 6.14, meaning that the MACD line is rising and getting closer to the signal line. This is a bullish sign within a bearish trend. It shows that the bearish momentum is decreasing.

Netflix, Spotify Can Weather Economic Uncertainty Because Of Subscription-Based Models, Says Jim Cramer: Here's What Their Charts Indicate

J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth reiterated an Overweight rating on Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $1,150.</a>
The analyst writes that the company&#8217;s shares are outperforming the SPX, thanks to 2025 revenue growth outlook of 12% to 14% (reported) and 14% to 17% (FX-neutral), strong content slate, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43114866" rel="noreferrer noopener">leadership position in the streaming platform</a>.
Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/03/44428025/netflix-to-launch-first-mmo-video-game-is-it-the-streaming-companys-biggest-gaming-bet-yet" rel="noreferrer noopener">Netflix To Launch First MMO Video Game: Is It The Streaming Company&#8217;s Biggest Gaming Bet Yet?</a>
Anmuth previously noted that Netflix is well-positioned to withstand macroeconomic challenges on strong user engagement (around two hours per household per day) along with its affordability and high entertainment value.
He also emphasized that the low-cost ad-supported tier ($7.99/month in the U.S.) enhances accessibility, making the service appealing to a broad audience.
The analyst says that with Netflix no longer reporting subscriber figures, market attention is expected to shift toward revenue growth, with projections appearing reasonable ahead of first-quarter earnings in April.
Anmuth projects revenue expansion in 2025 on high engagement, organic subscriber gains, and ARM lift following recent price adjustments in the U.S. and U.K., which could generate over $2 billion in additional annual revenue.
Furthermore, the weaker U.S. dollar since fourth-quarter earnings may contribute around ~140bps to revenue, with ~75%-80% expected to benefit operating income, adds the analyst.
Also, the analyst expects the street to focus on Netflix's advertising sector, as Netflix Ads Suite is set to launch in the U.S. in April.
Additionally, the analyst anticipates an updated disclosure on ad-tier monthly active users (MAUs), likely exceeding 100 million, along with the expansion of first-party ad technology into international markets and confirmation of a second NFL Christmas Day game this year.
Going forward, Anmuth estimates Ad Tier subs to be 60 million+ by the end of 2025 and Advertising revenue (ex-subscription) to be $3.2 billion in 2025 (vs. $1.4 billion in 2024).
Also, the analyst remains optimistic about Netflix's 2025 content lineup, highlighting key releases such as The Residence, Harlan Coben's Caught, Devil May Cry, The Clubhouse: A Year with the Red Sox, Black Mirror Season 7, and You Season 5.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;T-Rex 2X Long NFLX Daily Target ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLU#BATS">NFLU</a>) and First Trust DJ Internet Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDN#NYSE">FDN</a>).
Price Action: NFLX shares are up 0.83% at $968.28 at the last check Monday.

Live On CNBC: Steve Weiss Buys More Netflix

Streaming giant Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is launching a new reality competition set in the familiar world of Willy Wonka. The company continues to bet on reality series to attract new subscribers and keep its large base <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39213738/netflix-reality-show-games-and-chill-streaming-giant-sees-success-from-interactive-games-ba">of existing subscribers.</a>
What Happened: In a move that could follow the success Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) had with "Beast Games"<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42657482/mrbeast-dominates-prime-video-how-youtuber-could-help-amazon-boost-streaming-presence"> from content creator</a> MrBeast, Netflix is launching a reality competition in the spirit of the literary classic "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
Netflix is currently <a href="https://us.castitreach.com/ag/realcasting/thegoldenticketcasting/welcome.html">casting </a>U.S. residents aged 18 or older in a competition called "Wonka: The Golden Ticket."
"For the first time ever, the doors of Wonka's Chocolate Factory are opening for you," Netflix <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/the-golden-ticket-season-1-release-date-news">said </a>in an announcement.
The series says people are "invited to a competition beyond imagination" as the signature "Pure Imagination" song from the Willy Wonka movies plays in the trailer's background.
Netflix said players who get the "golden ticket" to be in the competition will have to adapt and strategize in the "high-stakes social experiment" as their ticket will take them only so far.
Players will compete in games, tests and temptations throughout the series. The series announcement promises a huge prize for the winner of the series, which will take place in an immersive factory.
Netflix said a premiere date for the reality competition will be announced later.

Why It's Important: Netflix continues to add more original content to its streaming library, which includes added efforts for live sports and reality competitions in recent years.
"We are thrilled to bring the magic of The Chocolate Factory to life like never before," Netflix Vice President of Unscripted Jeff Gaspin said. "This one-of-a-kind reality competition blends adventure, strategy, and social dynamics, creating an experience that is as captivating as it is unpredictable."
Gaspin said the lucky few participants in the competition "won't just have to imagine the experience – they'll get to step inside the factory."
The reality series could attempt to mirror the success of Beast Games, which saw MrBeast offer huge prizes for contestants in competitions, group decisions, and more social experiments. MrBeast previously released a Willy Wonka-themed video that featured competitions and has over 335 million views on YouTube.
Willy Wonka comes with huge brand recognition thanks to several big screen movie adaptations of the literary character including the recent 2023 Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) motion picture "Wonka," which starred Timothee Chalamet in the title role.
"Wonka" grossed $218.4 million domestically and $634.5 million worldwide.
Netflix acquired the Roald Dahl Story Company in 2021, one of its largest acquisitions to date. The acquisition gives the company additional rights to several books and IP based on Roald Dahl characters. Dahl is the author of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
The streaming company has released "Matilda the Musical" and "The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar" in recent years, which are based off of Dahl characters. Netflix will also release the animated movie "The Twits" later this year, based on a 1980 book from Dahl.

$1000 Invested In Netflix 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The streaming service of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Apple TV+, is reportedly incurring annual losses exceeding $1 billion.
What Happened: Since its 2019 launch, Apple has been allocating over $5 billion annually to content for Apple TV+. However, this budget was cut by around $500 million last year. However, the losses are crossing $1 billion a year, the Information revealed on Thursday. 
Despite its original shows like &#8220;Ted Lasso&#8221; and &#8220;The Morning Show&#8221;, Apple TV+ has found it challenging to rival industry leaders such as Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), Disney Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) Disney+ and Amazon.com&#8216;s Prime Video (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) in subscriber numbers.
Recent data indicates that Netflix leads with 301.63 million subscribers, followed by Disney+ with 124.6 million, and Warner Bros Discovery with 116.9 million. A Visible Alpha poll estimates that Apple TV+ will have reached 40.4 million subscribers by the end of 2024.
Despite these losses, Apple TV+ productions have received over 2,500 nominations and 538 wins, as announced by CEO Tim Cook in a post-earnings call in January. Amid escalating competition in the streaming industry, Apple TV+ is included in a Comcast (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) package that includes the service along with Peacock and Netflix for $15 per month.

Why It Matters: Apple's streaming business falls under its Services segment, which also encompasses Apple Music, the App Store, and other ventures. For the fourth quarter, the Services segment generated $26.3 billion in revenue, reflecting a 14% year-over-year increase. Reportedly, Apple TV+ is the only segment of Apple&#8217;s services business that remains unprofitable. According to Arstechnica, limited viewership and small marketing efforts for Apple TV+ are some of the reasons behind these annual losses. 
Notably, the Information reveals that the original concept of Apple TV+ was not focused on gaining the highest number of streaming subscribers but rather on strengthening users&#8217; connection to the iPhone and the broader Apple ecosystem. Moreover, an Apple TV+ employee told the publication that the streaming service is projected to incur losses ranging from $15 billion to $20 billion within its first decade since launching in 2019.
That being said, Apple has been making strategic moves to boost its subscriber base and expand its ecosystem. In February, Apple <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43885302/apple-expands-apple-tv-to-android-eyes-subscription-growth-and-ecosystem-expansion-analyst-says">expanded its Apple TV+ </a>app to Android mobile devices, aiming to increase subscription growth.
Furthermore, Apple&#8217;s services chief Eddy Cue, during a panel at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, highlighted Apple TV+&#8217;s selective content strategy and wants to focus on it. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/03/44212936/eddy-cue-praises-severance-for-breaking-through-the-noise-globally-says-apple-tv-isnt-going-to-throw-20-shows-on-the-wall-hoping-one-will-stick">praised the global success</a> of &#8220;Severance,&#8221; considering it one of the most culturally impactful shows of recent years.
Apple Stock lost 12.20% year-to-date stock as it grapples with broader market challenges.

Apple TV+ Bleeding Over $1 Billion Yearly As Streaming War Heats Up: Report

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) has launched many video games over the years. It has its first MMO coming soon, adding to the company&#8217;s library of games based <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39213738/netflix-reality-show-games-and-chill-streaming-giant-sees-success-from-interactive-games-ba">on its own series </a>and external characters.
What Happened: Netflix recently announced it will launch Spirit Crossing, adding to its lineup of content and exclusives for subscribers<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/41821069/netflix-stock-hits-all-time-highs-company-confirms-stranger-things-season-5-for-2025"> later this year.</a>
"Prepare to adventure into a joyful world with Spirit Crossing, a massively cooperative life sim designed to encourage friendship and make the world feel a little less lonely," the company <a href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/spry-foxs-spirit-crossing-comes-to-netflix-later-this-year">said </a>of the new game.
The game comes from Spry Fox, which Netflix acquired in 2022. The studio has previously released games like Triple Town, Alphabear and Cozy Grove.
Netflix says Spirit Crossing will be the biggest game ever released by Spry Fox.
An MMO, which stands for massively multiplayer online, is an online video game that allows gamers to take part in the same virtual world. Netflix said players will be encouraged to work together with other players to build and decorate their homes and villages, explore the wilderness, follow friends and make new friends to gather resources together.
Interested gamers can<a href="https://playspiritcrossing.com/"> sign up</a> for a closed alpha of the game ahead of its full release.

 Why It's Important: Netflix has launched games for years and acquired several gaming companies. This could mark one of the streaming company's most ambitious projects in the gaming space to date.
The launch of an MMO game might keep players interested for longer if done correctly and could provide valuable minutes in game for Netflix's engagement statistics as players customize their world and adventure together.
Cozy games — which are non-violent, emphasizing relaxation — have grown in popularity and Netflix entered the market with a launch from a company that had success in the space. While this game won&#8217;t get as many headlines as its game based on &#8220;Squid Game,&#8221; this could be a storyline to watch for the streamer in 2025.
Since this game isn&#8217;t based on existing Netflix property, the streaming giant has the opportunity to go in reverse order and launch future shows and movies if the game is successful and could also launch consumer products and licensed goods around the game.
Along with announcing Spirit Crossing, Netflix also announced several other upcoming games.
<ul>
<li>The Electric State &#8211; Kid Cosmo: a puzzle game based on the recently released movie "The Electric State" that is available now.</li>
<li>Steel Paws: adventure game from Japanese game developer Yu Suzuki, known for his work on Out Run, Shenmue and Virtua Fighter. The game is scheduled for a March 25 release.</li>

Shares of technology companies are trading higher in sympathy with overall market sentiment after the Fed policy decision to keep rates unchanged.

Stocks were little moved during midday Monday trading in New York, as a mixed retail sales report failed to generate a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">bullish response from investors.</a>
Retail sales rose 0.2% month-over-month in February, rebounding from a concerning 1.2% decline in January but falling short of the 0.6% forecast. Yet, when excluding volatile categories, the picture looked slightly brighter.
The control group measure — which strips out sales from auto dealers, building materials, gas stations, office supply stores, mobile home dealers and tobacco retailers — rose 1% in February, fully offsetting January's 1% decline and significantly surpassing the expected 0.2% increase.
Despite this, concerns over a broader economic slowdown remain, with traders now looking ahead to Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech on Wednesday for reassurance that the U.S. economy is not headed for a recession.
Major indices remained broadly flat, though small caps outperformed. Energy led sector gains, while consumer discretionary lagged.
In currency markets, the U.S. dollar index softened 0.3%, heading towards six-month lows. Gold continued to edge higher, hovering around the symbolic all-time high of $3,000 per ounce level.
Oil prices rebounded 0.8%, as crude rallied following President Donald Trump's vow to strike the Houthis in the Red Sea. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) climbed 1.4%, recovering some ground after a 2% drop on Sunday.

This Netflix Analyst Turns Bullish; Here Are Top 5 Upgrades For Monday

Netflix shares are trading higher after MoffettNathanson upgraded the stock from Neutral to Buy and raised its price target from $850 to $1,100.

MoffettNathanson analyst Michael Nathanson upgrades Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) from Neutral to Buy and raises the price target from $850 to $1100.

MoffettNathanson Upgrades Netflix to Buy, Raises Price Target to $1100

Netflix Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) new high-budget film &#8220;The Electric State&#8221; has received a tepid response from critics, despite the streaming service reportedly investing hundreds of millions in its production.
What Happened: The sci-fi movie, which premiered on Friday, has garnered a score of a mere 17% from 69 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie features Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, and is directed by the Russo brothers, who are renowned for their contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Estimates indicate that the film&#8217;s budget could have reached $320 million, positioning it among the most costly movies ever produced. 
This figure significantly surpasses the combined budgets of the 10 most recent Oscar winners for best picture, which collectively amount to less than $230 million, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-electric-state-netflix-budget-critics-reviews-2025-3">report</a>I Insider.
The Russo brothers have previously achieved success with high-budget films, including&nbsp;&#8220;Captain America: The Winter Soldier,&#8221;&nbsp;which grossed $714 million worldwide&nbsp;on a reported $170 million&nbsp;budget.

 However, their recent endeavors&nbsp;outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly on streaming platforms, have not been as fruitful.
&#8220;The Electric State&#8221; is an adaptation of Simon Stålenhag&#8217;s 2018 illustrated novel of the same title, but critics have labeled the film as &#8220;derivative&#8221; and &#8220;soulless,&#8221; with &#8220;mind-numbingly repetitive&#8221; action sequences.
Netflix and the Russo brothers&nbsp;have not yet issued any comments in response to these critiques.
Why It Matters: The lukewarm reception of &#8220;The Electric State&#8221; raises questions about the sustainability of high-budget productions for streaming services. Despite the massive investment, the film&#8217;s poor critical response could impact its viewership and return on investment. 
This could potentially influence Netflix&#8217;s future decisions regarding the allocation of its budget for film productions. 
The Russo brothers&#8217; recent lackluster performances&nbsp;outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe&nbsp;also suggest a need for a strategic reassessment of their projects.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/14201718/Screenshot-2025-03-14-at-4.16.53%E2%80%AFPM-1024x970.png" alt="" class="wp-image-7968" /></figure>
Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions. 
Today, at 10:07 AM on March 14th, a significant trading signal occurred for Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $908.18. 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. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Netflix&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
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

That is why it is important to have a trading plan that includes Profit Targets and Stop Losses that reflect your risk appetite.

Live On CNBC, Jason Snipe Announces Bought More Netflix

Steaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) could add another sports league to its growing lineup of sports content that includes NFL games, women's soccer and <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">World Wrestling Entertainment.</a>
What Happened: Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42492251/netflix-ceo-says-paul-tyson-fight-really-phenomenal-strong-demand-for-nfl-game-advertising">saw huge demand </a>with a boxing card featuring Mike Tyson and Jake Paul last year and for its first-ever NFL games on Christmas Day.
In January, Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42827316/netflix-brings-wwe-monday-night-raw-to-streaming-starting-january-6">added WWE matches </a>to its content of live sports.
Another sport could be in the mix with Netflix among the interested media outlets in getting the rights to UFC fights, which like WWE is also owned by TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>).
UFC has had an exclusive rights deal with ESPN, a unit of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), since 2019.
Disney has an exclusive negotiating window with the UFC through April for the rights that kick in after the 2025 year. With the UFC looking for around double what ESPN is currently paying and recent technical issues for a UFC fight, the negotiating window could turn tense and leave things open for other interested parties.
Sources said that UFC management, including Dana White, were not happy with ESPN's handling of UFC 313 which suffered from streaming issues, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/09/sports/tko-brass-furious-with-espn-after-ufc-313-streaming-issues/">reported </a>by the New York Post.
The UFC is looking for $1 billion or more annually in a new rights deal according to a report from <a href="https://www.sportspro.com/news/ufc-broadcast-media-rights-espn-amazon-netflix-wbd-tko-january-2025/">SportsPro</a>.
Along with Disney's interest in renewing the rights, other interested parties named in the report include Netflix, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>).

Why It's Important: With ESPN potentially out of the picture, Netflix could emerge as a favorite given its strong showing of the boxing match last year and its deal with TKO-owned WWE.
While the Paul and Tyson fight also saw technical glitches, the number of people watching and Netflix's fix were viewed as positives for the overall demand and strength of Netflix's platform.
The UFC remains a powerhouse with pay-per-view and streaming exclusive fights on ESPN+. Netflix would likely get rights to offer some fights for free to its existing streaming subscribers while other fights would remain pay-per-view only.
Netflix also recently announced that it will stream a rematch of a boxing match between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, which was part of the Tyson and Paul boxing card. A unanimous decision win for Taylor proved to be controversial in what Netflix called the "most-watched professional women's sports even in U.S. history."
The third match between the two boxers will stream live on Netflix on July 11, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/katie-taylor-amanda-serrano-rematch-netflix-last-year-controversial-bout-1236328982/">Variety</a>. Netflix said the fight taking place at Madison Square Garden will be an all-women boxing card and stream for free to existing Netflix subscribers worldwide.
With or without the UFC, Netflix continues to be mentioned as a potential bidder on many sports rights and continues to add to its library of live and library sports content, a move that could boost subscribers and help with churn.
Price Action: TKO Group Holdings stock trades at $147.27 versus a 52-week trading range of $79.32 to $179.09. The stock is up 3.2% year-to-date in 2025 and up 81.2% over the last year.
Netflix stock trades at $919.68 versus a 52-week trading range of $542.01 to $1,064.50. The stock is up 3.7% year-to-date in 2025 and up 50.5% over the last year.
