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.

The past weekend was a rollercoaster ride for the financial world. From China&#8217;s potential strategy to bypass trade talks with the U.S., to Warren Buffett&#8216;s disappointment over the depreciating U.S. dollar, and the bold economic predictions by Cathie Wood, there was no shortage of intriguing developments. Here&#8217;s a quick recap of the top stories.
China&#8217;s Potential Trade Strategy: Economist Craig Shapiro, the macro strategist at Bear Traps Report, suggests that China might employ &#8220;geopolitical game theory&#8221; to avoid trade talks with the U.S. By selling its U.S. stocks and bonds, China could potentially force the U.S. to retract tariffs without any negotiations.

Buffett&#8217;s Dollar Disappointment: During the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting, Buffett expressed his concern over the depreciating U.S. dollar. He stated that no one would want to hold assets in a currency that was falling in value, indicating his worry about the future of the U.S. currency.

Trade War Impact: Despite ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, experts anticipate minimal impact on future economic growth and corporate earnings. This consensus comes after the U.S. and China agreed to hold high-level trade talks in Switzerland.

Cathie Wood&#8217;s Economic Prediction: Cathie Wood, the CEO and CIO of ARK Investment Management, predicts an end to the prolonged &#8220;rolling recession&#8221; that has gripped the U.S. economy for the past three years. She anticipates a productivity-led economic boom and a healthy, broader-based bull market.

Peter Schiff&#8217;s Take on Trump&#8217;s Tariff: Economist Peter Schiff criticized President Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed 100% tariff on foreign-produced movies, suggesting that Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) subscribers would ultimately bear the cost.

10 Communication Services Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Actor Seth Rogen stood his ground against Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) executives, insisting on a surprising Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) cameo in his Apple TV+ comedy series despite the company's push for its own CEO.
What Happened: Rogen's The Studio is packed with celebrity cameos, but one guest star raised eyebrows even inside Apple's own boardrooms. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos appears as himself in episode eight of the series, which aired on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-studio-ted-sarandos-cameo-apple-wanted-tim-cook-seth-rogen-2025">reported</a> Business Insider.
"They asked if we could use Tim Cook instead, and we said no," Rogen told the publication at the red carpet premiere of The Studio during the SXSW Film &amp; TV Festival in March.

Discovery Pulling Back From &#8216;More Is Better&#8217; Streaming Strategy, Bets Big On Premium Content — And Letting Scooby-Doo Sniff Out New Fans On Netflix</a>
Why It's Important: Rogen's decision to feature Sarandos, a top executive at Apple's biggest streaming rival, speaks volumes about the current streaming landscape.
While Netflix has soared past 300 million subscribers and turned a once money-losing operation into a profitable empire, Apple TV+ remains a costly experiment, the report said.

Reports suggest Apple is losing over $1 billion per year on the streaming service, with an estimated 45 million subscribers — a fraction of Netflix's audience.
Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44877995/netflix-crushes-q1-says-its-working-hard-to-improve-and-expand-its-offering">reported first-quarter revenue</a> of $10.54 billion, marking a 12.5% increase compared to the same period last year. The figure came in slightly above the Street consensus estimate of $10.52 billion.
Apple, on the other hand, posted fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45152493/apple-reports-strong-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-all-time-high-across-all-segments-100-billion-buyback-and-more">second-quarter revenue</a> of $95.36 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $94.53 billion.
Price Action: According to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Apple shares have declined 19.01% year-to-date, while Netflix shares have gained 29.06% over the same period.

Tim Cook's Apple TV+ Cameo Rejected By Seth Rogen, Opts For Netflix's Ted Sarandos Instead: 'We Said No'

Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) reported first-quarter 2025 earnings, where the company highlighted significant progress in its advertising business, securing brand campaigns with major players like Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), Crypto.com, and Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>).
What Happened: CEO Chris Pawlowski expressed optimism, stating, &#8220;While it is still very early, I can now confidently say we are starting to see traction [in advertising].&#8221; He specifically noted the successful completion of a campaign with Netflix and ongoing campaigns with Crypto.com and Chevron, spanning various media formats on the platform.
The company also reported a 34% year-over-year revenue growth, driven by audience monetization. Despite this, the platform maintained over 50 million monthly active users for the seventh consecutive quarter, with an 87% user retention rate from the previous quarter.

Why It Matters: Rumble&#8217;s Chief Financial Officer, Brandon Alexandroff, noted a 14% improvement in adjusted EBITDA loss to $22.7 million compared to the previous year, reiterating the goal of reaching EBITDA breakeven in 2025. 
Looking ahead, Rumble aims to launch its &#8220;RumbleWallet&#8221; in the third quarter of 2025, intending to compete with platforms like Coinbase in the cryptocurrency space and facilitate international monetization. The company is also exploring crypto exchange partnerships.
Price Action: Rumble&#8217;s stock closed at $7.78 on Thursday, up 2.37% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose further to $7.95, gaining an additional 2.19%. Year to date, however, the stock is down 37.26%.
Rumble shows positive momentum and strong long-term price trends, but the stock lags in growth metrics and short- to medium-term performance, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Ranking. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up to learn more</a>.

Rumble Touts Ad Traction With Netflix, Crypto.com, Chevron As Q1 Revenue Jumps 34%

Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) is reshaping its streaming strategy, cutting back on sheer content volume and doubling down on premium franchises, all while striking licensing deals like sending Scooby-Doo over to Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
What Happened: On Thursday, during the company's first-quarter earnings call, WBD CEO David Zaslav explained how the company is moving away from the old "more is better" streaming mindset.
He praised the success of Warner Bros. Television Group CEO Channing Dungey's team, noting a strong performance with high-profile projects such as "Ted Lasso" and "Presumed Innocent" for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
Zaslav highlighted that Presumed Innocent originated as a WBD title and was transformed into a compelling series before being sold to Apple — a deal he described as &#8220;very good business&#8221; for the company.
He also pointed to other notable titles like Shrinking, Bad Monkey, and Abbott Elementary—the latter being sold to Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)—as evidence of WBD&#8217;s reputation as a high-quality content provider.

However, he made a clear distinction when it comes to certain intellectual properties. Core franchises like "Wonder Woman," "Batman," "Superman" and "Supergirl," currently being developed under James Gunn and Peter Safran's 10-year DC roadmap, are being cultivated as global asset builders exclusive to Warner Bros. Discovery.
The WBD CEO said the same applies to "Harry Potter," noting a decade-long commitment with author JK Rowling and "Game of Thrones" as part of the studio's long-term strategy to develop and retain premium, globally recognizable IP.
&#8220;Those belong to us and they'll only belong to us forever because we're building big assets and a global differentiated strategy around that,&#8221; he stated.
However, Warner Bros. isn't locking up every piece of its massive library. Zaslav pointed to the recent example of Scooby-Doo, where the company sold a new show to Netflix to reach a broader audience.&nbsp;
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
"In some cases, we'll find with Scooby-Doo, we can sell something to Ted [Sarandos] and Netflix, and that can get very broad acceptance in the marketplace," Zaslav said. "And then we can follow it with a Scooby-Doo movie — that would be a real win-win for us."
WBD CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels added that this strategy shift does not mean Warner Bros. will dramatically ramp up or slash spending.
"We have significant growth ambitions for the streaming service and for the studio," he said, noting the company will support those goals with moderate increases in content spending over time.
Why It's Important: Warner Bros. posted a 9% year-over-year revenue decline (excluding foreign exchange impacts) to $8.98 billion, falling short of the analyst consensus estimate of $9.60 billion.
Streaming revenue rose 9% year-over-year (excluding foreign exchange effects) to $2.66 billion. The growth was driven in part by an 8% increase in distribution revenue, fueled by a 23% surge in subscribers thanks to Max's ongoing global rollout and new domestic distribution agreements.
Price Action: WBD shares rose 0.43% to $9.05 in Thursday's after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Warner Bros. Discovery Pulling Back From 'More Is Better' Streaming Strategy, Bets Big On Premium Content — And Letting Scooby-Doo Sniff Out New Fans On Netflix

Analyst Ratings

Live On CNBC, Steve Weiss Announces Bought More Netflix

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) continues to dominate the sector and its stock keeps <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44995039/netflix-ceo-says-streaming-company-saved-hollywood-as-stock-hits-new-all-time-highs">hitting all-time highs.</a>
Netflix isn't slowing down and is launching a major overhaul to its home page that could help user engagement.
What Happened: While Netflix didn't break out its subscriber figure in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44877995/netflix-crushes-q1-says-its-working-hard-to-improve-and-expand-its-offering"> latest quarterly results,</a> revenue growth likely led to more than 300 million paid subscribers and a gain from the end of 2024.
Netflix is ready to help those hundreds of millions of users remain engaged on the streaming platform and get better recommendations for what to watch.
The platform homepage on mobile will provide a TikTok-style vertical feed of clips and trailers from movies and shows, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/new-netflix-homescreen-coming-soon-vertical-video-openai-1236208893/">according </a>to The Hollywood Reporter. Clicking on one of the clips takes a user to that movie or show.
"We've been constantly improving it over the last 12 years, mostly behind the scenes, but now, thanks to a combination of new technology and the expansion of our entertainment offerings, we think it's time to take a giant leap forward," Netflix Chief Product Officer Eunice Kim said of the home page.
Netflix is also using OpenAI to help with search recommendations for users in an effort to be "more responsive to your moods and interest in the moment.&#8221;
Chief Technology Officer Elizabeth Stone said the goal is for users to get recommendations using phrases like "I want something funny and upbeat" or "I want something scary, but not too scary" rather than just searching for a comedy or horror film.
Users will see popular titles and award-winning features more prominent on the platform home for TVs. Shortcuts to different categories will be moved from the left side of the screen to the top.
According to the report, the new home page is expected to be launched in the next few months.
Kim said the new experience will give the company more flexibility in the future.
"We are always going to keep sight of what we think is the best experience for our members, particularly driving discovery and engagement with all of the movies and shows and live events and games that they love."

Why It's Important: Netflix continues to dominate the streaming space and sees strong engagement. The changes to the home page across mobile and TV will be a good test to see if user engagement increases.
Netflix already features its top-watched TV shows and movies in users&#8217; feeds, but the top hits could see a more prominent placement.
The streaming giant will also be able to show viral clips from shows and movies via the TikTok-style feed, which could see people clicking through to watch full episodes or the full movie, increasing overall minutes on the platform.
As Netflix builds out its live content, the streamer can also find new ways to highlight live content at the top of a feed and highlight events as they are currently happening.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock closed up 1.6% to $1,155.41 on Wednesday. The stock hit a new all-time high of $1,164.00 during Wednesday's trading session. Netflix stock is up 30.3% year-to-date in 2025 and up over 90% in the last year.

9 Communication Services Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) isn't just producing binge-worthy series — it's quietly become a heavyweight in the U.S. economy. Speaking at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Trdrc26MBk">Semafor's World Economy Summit</a> late last month, co-CEO Ted Sarandos said, "Netflix alone, I think, from 2020 through 2024 contributed $125 billion to the U.S. economy."
"People forget this is a real business," Sarandos emphasized, highlighting the entertainment sector&#8217;s overlooked economic clout in trade talks and federal policy.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">140,000 Jobs, 50 States, One Giant Footprint</h2>
According to<a href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/made-in-america-how-netflix-contributes-to-the-us-economy"> Netflix's official blog</a>, the $125 billion impact included over 900 productions and 140,000 jobs across all 50 states during those four years. The platform's physical presence is just as robust — with 9,000 U.S.-based employees and five million square feet of office and studio space, most of it anchored in California.
Despite these numbers, Sarandos told Semafor the industry is often left out of national economic strategy. "You hardly ever see a sitting president photographed on a studio lot," he said, alluding to the manufacturing-first spotlight in policy talks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix Invests $1 Billion South of the Border</h2>
During a Feb. 20 event with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Sarandos announced a $1 billion investment plan aimed at expanding the company's production capabilities in Mexico over the next four years, according to multiple media reports.
Trending: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">Invest by May 8, before it's too late.</a>
<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/netflix-invest-1-billion-mexico-over-next-4-years-2025-02-20/">Reuters</a> reported that Netflix will produce around 20 films and TV series annually in Mexico over the next four years, a move expected to boost local employment and strengthen its collaboration with Mexico City&#8217;s historic Churubusco Studios.
Sarandos also compared the investment in Mexico to major manufacturing expansions. "If we were building a plant to build a billion dollars worth of cars there, the president would certainly announce that," he said.
The investment also taps into adjacent industries — fashion, tourism, and hospitality — further reinforcing Netflix&#8217;s goal to embed itself into Mexico's broader creative economy. As<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/netflix-1-billion-dollars-mexico-production"> Wired</a> highlighted, it's a model designed to grow local ecosystems alongside content pipelines.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Netflix Walked Away From China</h2>
Netflix once tried cracking the Chinese market with a 2017 licensing deal through iQiyi (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IQ#NASDAQ">IQ</a>), a domestic streaming platform. However, Sarandos said during the Semafor summit that "not a single episode of a single Netflix show cleared" the government's censorship board over three years.
The attempt was eventually scrapped — a move that accidentally future-proofed Netflix from exposure as U.S.-China trade tensions escalated. The licensing strategy had potential but never got past regulatory barriers.

Netflix is now one of the few major U.S. entertainment companies with no operational risk tied to China — a significant detail as Beijing recently reduced film imports in retaliation to the Trump administration's 145% tariff on Chinese goods.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix House And The $1 Trillion Vision</h2>
As Netflix eyes a market cap target of $1 trillion by 2030, Sarandos stressed that the growth focus remains within its core business.&nbsp;
"The things that we do are just $650 billion in consumer spending," Serandos said at the Semafor summit. "We&#8217;re about 5% of that now and about 10% of total TV watching time in our most penetrated, most mature markets."
While theme parks aren't in the immediate future, Netflix will debut two massive "Netflix House" locations this year — one in Dallas, the other in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. These 100,000-square-foot experiences will blend themed dining, shopping, and immersive activities tied to hit shows like "Bridgerton" the company <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/netflix-house">said</a> last June.

Ted Sarandos Says Netflix Pumped $125 Billion Into The U.S. Economy — 'People Forget This Is A Real Business'

As President Donald Trump pledged 100% tariffs on foreign-made films, Alphabet Inc.&#8216;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 has launched &#8220;100 Zeros,&#8221; a film and TV production initiative aimed at influencing Hollywood and reconnecting with younger audiences.
What Happened: The multiyear partnership with Range Media Partners seeks to fund and produce an array of scripted and unscripted content promoting Google products and positive tech culture, particularly to Gen Z viewers increasingly abandoning Google Search for platforms like TikTok, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-tv-movie-hollywood-boost-tech-image-hundred-zeros-2025-5">reported</a> Business Insider.
&#8220;Through our continued partnership with Range, we aim to collaborate with the Hollywood creative community in a thoughtful and productive way,&#8221; a Google spokesperson said in a statement.
Unlike YouTube Originals, 100 Zeros aims to sell projects to traditional studios and streamers like Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), which has seen its stock drop amid Trump&#8217;s tariff threats. The initiative&#8217;s early moves included backing Neon&#8217;s horror film &#8220;Cuckoo&#8221; starring &#8220;Euphoria&#8221; actress Hunter Schafer.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs could significantly disrupt Hollywood&#8217;s global production model, potentially impacting companies like Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) and Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>), which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45201601/trump-wants-movies-made-in-america-again-heres-what-tariffs-on-films-could-mean-for-disney-netflix-stock">frequently film blockbusters overseas</a>.
Peter Schiff warned that Netflix subscribers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45187710/peter-schiff-says-trumps-100-tariff-on-foreign-films-pointless-without-targeting-streamingwarns-netflix-subscribers-would-bear-cost">would ultimately bear tariff costs</a>.
The initiative, led by Range&#8217;s Penny Lin with Google&#8217;s Jonathan Zepp as point person, represents a strategic move in an increasingly crowded entertainment landscape where consumer brands seek Hollywood partnerships to reach audiences resistant to traditional advertising.
Trump called foreign film production &#8220;a National Security threat&#8221; and &#8220;propaganda&#8221; while demanding &#8220;Movies Made In America Again!&#8221; as 2025 box office revenues <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45201601/trump-wants-movies-made-in-america-again-heres-what-tariffs-on-films-could-mean-for-disney-netflix-stock">show a 15.8% year-over-year increase</a>.

Amid Trump's Movie Tariffs, Google Launches '100 Zeros' To Influence Hollywood And Promote Tech Culture To Gen Z

President Donald Trump&#8216;s decision to levy a 100% tariff on foreign films resulted from a proposal by&nbsp;actor Jon Voight and his&nbsp;manager, Steven Paul.
What Happened: Voight and his manager had a meeting with Trump and they submitted a &#8220;comprehensive plan&#8221;, following which, the president declared on Truth Social that he was directing the Commerce Department and the U.S. Trade Representative to &#8220;immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands,&#8221; as per a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/05/trump-tariff-hollywood-movies.html">report </a>on CNBC. 
Voight, designated by Trump as a &#8220;special ambassador&#8221; to Hollywood, expressed optimism about collaborating with the administration, streamers, studios, and unions to form a plan to strengthen the American film industry.
The proposal put forward by Voight and his manager, Steven Paul, featured federal tax incentives, revisions to tax codes, co-production agreements with foreign nations, and infrastructure subsidies for theater owners and production companies.
Voight stated, &#8220;&#8230;we can ensure that American production companies thrive, more jobs stay here at home, and Hollywood once again leads the world in creativity and innovation.&#8221;
Paul's company, SP Global Media, stated, "The proposal also includes a focus on job training, and tariffs in certain limited circumstances."

Marjorie Taylor Greene &#8216;Frustrated And Upset&#8217; With The Trump Administration, Questions US Foreign Policy: &#8216;You Better Be Clear, The Base Is Not Happy&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs have caused a stir in the film industry and among investors. This announcement led to a temporary drop in share prices for companies like Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) and Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). However, Trump as well as the White House later clarified that the tariffs were not guaranteed to be adopted.
Economist Peter Schiff criticized the proposed tariff, suggesting that it would be a new kind of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45187710/peter-schiff-says-trumps-100-tariff-on-foreign-films-pointless-without-targeting-streamingwarns-netflix-subscribers-would-bear-cost">federal excise tax </a>on Americans who watch movies filmed abroad, and that&nbsp;Netflix subscribers would ultimately bear the cost.
Trump&#8217;s move is seen as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45201601/trump-wants-movies-made-in-america-again-heres-what-tariffs-on-films-could-mean-for-disney-netflix-stock">threat </a>to the &#8220;dying&#8221; movie industry, as he aims to bring back movie production to America. However, the President later clarified that he would speak to the Hollywood studios seeking their feedback and told reporters, "I'm not looking to hurt the industry, I want to help the industry,"
Meanwhile, California Governor Newsom&#8217;s spokesperson stated, "If the President announces a proposal with more details, we will review it."
Trump&#8217;s proposal and its potential impact on the film industry and streaming services continue to be a topic of heated discussion.
The shares of Netflix dropped 1.94%, while those of Disney slipped 0.4%, following the news on Monday.

S&P 500 Stocks That Defy 'Sell In May' Myth: 5 Companies With Strong Historical Gains

President Donald Trump has his sight set on a new sector with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs"> threats of tariffs</a> to keep more things made in America.
Here's a look at what's Trumps comments on the "dying" movie industry mean.
What Happened: On social media, Trump threatened the movie industry with tariffs on movies produced "in foreign lands," a move that could impact companies like Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), which generates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42603589/disney-hits-2-billion-domestic-box-office-wins-top-honors-global-box-office-2025-to-grow-8-to-33b-analyst-says">billions of dollars</a> at the box office annually.
"The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States," Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114452117143235155">posted </a>on his Truth Social account recently.
Trump called this a "National Security threat" and "propaganda."
"I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands."
In all caps, Trump said "We Want Movies Made In America, Again!"
The latest tariff threat has sent shockwaves across the movie industry with much uncertainty about what Trump could actually do and what the tariff plans would mean if imposed, as reported by Variety.
Trump's comments that the movie sector is dying in America may be premature with 2025 box office up 15.8% year-over-year, according to <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/trump-tariff-foreign-film-national-security-1236386566/">Variety</a>.
That could be a positive for movie theater companies like AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) as the 2025 and 2026 content slate will see many blockbuster films hit theaters.
Threats of tariffs could slow down the movie theater sector and those stocks and also impact big movie companies like Disney, 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>), Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>), Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>), Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) and more.
While Trump's comment on the movie industry has that sector rattled, there is also <a href="https://variety.com/2025/biz/news/trump-tariff-foreign-films-six-major-questions-1236386590/">fear</a> the tariffs could extend to television series and the streaming sector, impacting Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), which produces numerous series outside of America.
Tariffs on films and TV shows could impact margins for entertainment companies, which of course, would welcome the question of whether those higher costs would be passed on to consumers via higher movie ticket prices.

 Why It's Important: At this point, Trump's tariff threat appears to be in the exploratory phase and not ironed out yet. While Trump claimed films being made outside America are a "national security threat," he may have to prove this is the case to be able to authorize tariffs.
Trump's comments are also rather vague, with many movies having filming locations outside of the U.S., but maintaining production credits by American companies.
One of the likely early examples that could show how the sector will be attacked is Paramount film "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning." The film was already filmed prior to Trump's tariff threat, but counts the United Kingdom as its primary filming location.
With a May 23 opening date, the film's tariff status could be closely monitored by the sector.
Top film franchises like "Avengers" and "Avatar" have filming locations outside the U.S. Famous film franchises like "Star Wars" and "The Lord of the Rings" famously had filming locations outside the U.S.
Often times, franchises include foreign locations as part of the plot such as in James Bond films. The threat of tariffs could have film studios questioning those moves depending on what the tariff would apply to as far as production locations.
Industry veterans warn the decision for tariffs could significantly harm the sector.
"It's insane. So U.S. companies can only make U.S. films? James Cameron can't make Avatar overseas? Who pays the tariffs? Leading independent distributors would all be out of business if it's them," a veteran U.K. producer told Deadline.
A French distributor told <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/05/trump-movie-tariffs-hollywood-independent-film-destroy-1236385169/">Deadline </a>the move could "kill the U.S. industry quicker."
While Trump is seeking to punish films not made in America, others have ideas to reward films and TV shows made in America. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is pushing for a plan to have $750 million in annual incentives for content filmed in the state, as reported by Deadline.
"We believe he has no authority to impose tariffs under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, since tariffs are not listed as a remedy under that law," Newsom senior advisor for communications Bob Salladay told <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/05/trump-movie-tariffs-gavin-newsom-response-1236385079/">Deadline</a>.

Trump Wants 'Movies Made In America Again': Here's What Tariffs On Films Could Mean For Disney, Netflix Stock

Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) ended 2024 with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43114866/netflix-q4-earnings-record-subscribers-nfl-squid-game-push-past-highest-expectations">over 300 million</a> paid subscribers, ranking as one of the most-watched platforms around the world.
A new Benzinga reader survey shows that customers are keeping their plans and are excited for a strong 2025 content lineup.
What Happened: Netflix no longer breaks out its subscriber totals in quarterly results. This could put an emphasis on the company's content slate as investors and analysts predict<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"> what new shows,</a> movies and live content could mean for subscriber totals and for revenue.
In 2025, Netflix has new seasons of some of its biggest recent hits, including a fifth and final season of "Stranger Things," a third and final season of "Squid Game" and a highly anticipated second season of "Wednesday."
These new shows, along with others and original movies, could keep Netflix subscribers from cancelling their streaming plans.
Benzinga recently asked readers about their Netflix subscriptions.
"Netflix recently reported first-quarter financial results. Which describes you best for 2025 as a Netflix customer?" Benzinga asked.
Here are the results:
<ul>
<li>I don't plan on cancelling my Netflix account in 2025: 49%</li>
<li>Was not a Netflix subscriber in 2025: 24%</li>
<li>I might cancel my Netflix plan in 2025 based on price increases: 11%</li>
<li>I already cancelled my Netflix account in 2025: 9%</li>
<li>I might cancel my Netflix plan in 2025 based on the content library: 7%</li>
</ul>
The poll shows that a near majority of readers don't plan on cancelling their Netflix subscription in 2025, even with a recent price increase.
In the poll, nearly a fourth of readers say they do not subscribe to Netflix, which could indicate some potential monetization opportunities for the streaming giant as they offer new content like live sports and grow deeper into video games and other ventures.

Netflix Content Library: In the initial poll, 7% say they might cancel their Netflix plan based on the content library, which was the lowest vote getter.
Content has been incredibly important for Netflix over the years and one of the key reasons why they are a leader in the streaming space. Netflix started with acquired content from others before branching out into original content that includes shows and movies.
Netflix could have a perfect storm in 2025 with new seasons of "Stranger Things," "Squid Game" and "Wednesday" for the first time, three of the company's biggest hits of all time.
The streamer has also pushed deeper into live sports with its WWE partnership, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/04/44615929/nfl-gets-3-christmas-day-games-in-2025-how-netflix-amazon-will-both-benefit">rights to two</a> NFL games on Christmas Day and more. To round out content, Netflix also releases original movies every month with hits such as "Carry On" and "Hit Man" among the company's 2024 hits.
Benzinga asked readers which content is most important for 2025.
"Which Netflix 2025 content are you most excited about (of the following options)?" Benzinga asked.
<ul>
<li>Netflix Original Movies: 60%</li>
<li>"Wednesday" Season 2: 17%</li>
<li>"Stranger Things" Season 5: 11%</li>
<li>"Squid Game" Season 3: 8%</li>
<li>NFL Games/Live Sports content: 4%</li>
</ul>
The poll found Netflix original movies are the content readers are most excited for in 2025, which might be a surprise given the return of three hit shows. Of the hit shows, "Wednesday" ranked highest at 17%, ahead of the final seasons of "Stranger Things" and "Squid Game."
Ranking last were NFL games and live sports, which could show how Netflix's current strategy of minimal sports content is the big bet and the company doesn't need full seasons of sports content.
The company said its priorities for 2025 include improving the core business with more series and films, developing new initiatives like live programming and games and sustaining healthy growth.
&#8220;We maintain a leadership position in engagement, revenue and profit. We&#8217;re focused on improving all aspects of our service and, combined with the return in 2025 of our biggest shows (&#8216;Squid Game,&#8217; &#8216;Wednesday&#8217; and &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217;), we&#8217;re optimistic heading into the new year,&#8221; the company said.

</ul>
The study was conducted by Benzinga from April 28, 2025, through April 30, 2025. It included the responses of a diverse population of adults 18 or older. Opting into the survey was completely voluntary, with no incentives offered to potential respondents. The study reflects results from 106 adults.
