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 280 million subscribers globally. Netflix has exposure to nearly the entire global population outside of China. The firm has traditionally avoided live programming or sports content, instead focusing on on-demand access to episodic television, movies, and documentaries. The firm recently began introducing ad-supported subscription plans, giving the firm exposure to the advertising market in addition to the subscription fees that have historically accounted for nearly all its revenue.

Netflix Inc

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) recently streamed a live boxing event featuring a match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson which led to difficulties for consumers trying to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42042640/netflix-crash-hits-jake-paul-mike-tyson-fight-can-streaming-platform-handle-christmas-day-nfl-action">watch the fight.</a>
The company's co-CEO Ted Sarandos highlighted the success of the fight and what's ahead for live sports events in a recent interview.
What Happened: Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/41985523/paul-vs-tyson-boxing-match-how-to-watch-betting-odds-what-the-stats-say-and-more">saw unprecedented demand </a>for the Nov. 15 boxing match between Paul and Tyson with 109 million people watching the fight globally, according to Sarandos.
"We were pushing the (internet service provider), every ISP in the world, right to the limits of their own capacity. We were stressing the limits of the internet itself that night," Sarandos said at a UBS conference earlier this week, as <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/ted-sarandos-jake-paul-mike-tyson-glitches-1236083094/">reported </a>by The Hollywood Reporter.
Sarandos said the company had a control room in Silicon Valley that worked on fixing internet issues due to the "unprecedented demand that was happening."
The Netflix co-CEO highlighted the combined efforts of the content team, marketing, publicity and social media teams to help make the fight as big as it was.
"It's really phenomenal. It's a Super Bowl-like audience that we were able to draw for this fight."

What's Next: Netflix has a quick turnaround to prepare for huge demand for its next live sporting event.
The company hosts two National Football League games on Christmas Day. While the NFL games might not have as big of an audience as the boxing match, the fact the Kansas City Chiefs play in one game and Beyoncé is performing at halftime in the other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42354185/nfl-games-set-thanksgiving-day-records-why-this-is-good-and-bad-news-for-streaming-giant-netflix">could increase the audience</a> compared to normal NFL games.
"It is Christmas Day. So you will be aware that it is Christmas Day, the show and the broadcast itself, and all the entertainment that's wrapped around it will all be very special and very unique, and I think, bigger than the game itself," Sarandos said.
The Netflix executive said the company is preparing to offer more "big-scale live events" and do them more frequently. This means the company will likely need to make sure the NFL games see fewer issues than the boxing event to keep customers happy as at least <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42094958/netflix-faces-class-action-lawsuit-over-streaming-crashes-during-jake-paul-mike-tyson-fight">one class-action lawsuit</a> hit the company over the buffering issues during the boxing match.
For Netflix, live sports events offer a way to gain subscribers and diversify its content. The events also allow the company to grow its advertising revenue with the ad-supported plans a growing focus.
Sarandos said the NFL games and upcoming WWE events have brought "a lot of demand" from advertisers. The Netflix executive said the company may have left money on the table with advertising revenue for the Paul-Tyson match.
"If we knew the audience would be that big, we probably would have done a lot more selling on that fight."
Netflix begins broadcasting WWE events in January as part of an agreement with the company's owner TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>). Sarandos said WWE fits into the mold of a younger audience and treats sporting contests like big events.
"We also liked it because for a sport, it also has a 40-person writer room, so it's much closer to our current wheelhouse of creating and storytelling."
While Netflix has bid on media rights for sports leagues in the past, comments from Sarandos suggest the company would prefer to push for unique events instead of a full season.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock is down 1% to $918.07 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $461.86 to $941.75. Netflix stock is up 96% year-to-date in 2024.

Netflix CEO Says Paul-Tyson Fight 'Really Phenomenal,' Strong Demand For NFL Game Advertising

Netflix Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) has witnessed its stock price soar beyond $900, sparking speculation about a potential stock split. This surge aligns with a broader market rally, particularly in Big Tech, driven by advancements in AI software and chips.
What Happened: Netflix&#8217;s shares have increased more than fivefold since hitting a low in 2022. The S&amp;P 500 has risen 70% since the bear market bottomed in October 2022. Companies like&nbsp;Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and&nbsp;Deckers Outdoor Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) have already executed stock splits this year, Barron&#8217;s <a href="https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/netflix-stock-split-nvidia-bull-market-0c81012c">reported</a> on Friday.
Ken Mahoney of Mahoney Asset&nbsp;Management commented, &#8220;Once&nbsp;stocks are worth way into&nbsp;the high hundreds of dollars&nbsp;per share range, a lot&nbsp;of people get in their&nbsp;mind that a stock split&nbsp;could be coming.&#8221;
"It wouldn't surprise us if Netflix followed suit within the next few announcing earnings."
A stock split can attract more investors by making shares more affordable, potentially boosting market value.
Netflix has yet to respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> queries.

Netflix&#8217;s growth, particularly outside the U.S., and increased profit margins have contributed to its rising stock price. Analysts anticipate further revenue growth through higher international subscription prices and advertising. However, Netflix&#8217;s high valuation could deter some investors if earnings expectations are not met.
Why It Matters: The recent surge in Netflix&#8217;s stock price is not an isolated event.&nbsp;Jim Cramer&nbsp;recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42452602/jim-cramer-bullish-in-netflix-as-stock-nears-1000-amid-streaming-success">expressed strong buying conviction</a> for Netflix as its shares traded near $934. This comes amid broader tech market strength and a recommendation from JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth, who raised his price target on Netflix to $1,010 from $850. Anmuth cited robust subscriber growth and expanding ad revenue as key factors.
Netflix&#8217;s recent milestone, the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match, became the most-streamed sporting event ever, with 60 million households watching live. This achievement underscores the platform&#8217;s growing influence in the streaming industry and its ability to attract a massive audience.
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, Netflix was trading slightly higher at $204.60 on Friday during pre-market hours after previously closing at $203.68.
Meanwhile, as per the three most-recent analyst ratings, released by JP Morgan, Citigroup, and Canaccord Genuity the average price target of Netflix is $956.67, with an implied 3.48% upside for the company.

Netflix Surges Past $900. Is Stock Split On The Cards? Analyst Says Such Move 'Wouldn't Surprise Us'

Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is revisiting its parental leave policy, which offered unlimited time off during an employee&#8217;s first year of parenthood.
However, mounting challenges in maintaining the policy have led to internal adjustments and confusion about its application, raising employee concerns, the Wall Street Journal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/netflix-unlimited-parental-leave-roll-back-culture-a962f50e" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
According to the report, Netflix introduced the unlimited leave policy nearly a decade ago as part of its &#8220;freedom and responsibility&#8221; culture, trusting employees to determine their limits.

However, as more employees took extended leave, the company began issuing vague guidance to scale back the benefit, creating widespread uncertainty.
Netflix has transitioned from its original emphasis on unlimited parental leave, opting for informal guidance suggesting six months as a standard timeframe.
WSJ report said that internal communications reveal that managers and human resources staff often encourage employees to discuss leave durations based on what works for the individual and the business.
Recent updates to the company&#8217;s culture memo removed explicit references to unlimited leave, reflecting Netflix&#8217;s broader cultural adjustments as it prioritizes profitability over subscriber growth.
This shift includes cost-cutting measures, such as limiting discretionary spending and realigning salary structures to industry standards, the report added.
Netflix spokespersons told WSJ that the company&#8217;s talent retention metrics remain strong, with a 93% acceptance rate for job offers and just 3% voluntary attrition.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41980010/the-20000-penalty-why-working-moms-are-losing-wages-due-to-child-care-responsibilities" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reportedly, working mothers</a> in the U.S. forgo ~$20,000 annually in potential earnings due to childcare responsibilities.
While women have achieved higher education levels and greater workforce participation, they are still more likely than men to reduce work hours or temporarily exit their jobs to manage child care.
Data from the Federal Reserve reveals this trend is especially pronounced among women in their 30s and 40s. Although this age group represents about 46% of the U.S. workforce, their employment rate falls slightly below men&#8217;s, primarily due to caregiving obligations.
Companies such as Amazon.Com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) have urged employees to return to the office five days a week, marking a shift from the pandemic, which prompted companies to allow their employees to work from home. However, Amazon and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) chief Elon Musk voiced their preference for the return-to-office mandate, which has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41157629/google-assures-employees-its-not-about-to-pull-off-an-amazon-on-them-when-it-comes-to-work-from-" rel="noreferrer noopener">sparked employee concerns</a>.
Price Action: NFLX stock is down 0.98% at $927.36 at the last check on Thursday.

Netflix Adjusts Parental Leave Policy, But There Is A Catch

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
On Wednesday, JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth maintained Netflix with an Overweight and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX/analyst-ratings">price target from $850 to $1,010.</a>
 &#8220;It is absolutely true that they're not doing as well as Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>),&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). &#8220;But can we just remember Lisa Su has built an amazing company?&#8221; He recommended buying the stock, saying that the stock is &#8220;actually cheap.&#8221;
On Monday, AMD named Tim Keating as senior vice president, Government Relations and Regulatory Affairs.
Cramer said he prefers Sempra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRE#NYSE">SRE</a>) over Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>). He added, &#8220;I don't want you to sell Constellation Energy, it has a habit of bouncing back because it's really involved in the data center, but it has got way too much volatility for me.&#8221;
On Nov. 22, Morgan Stanley analyst David Arcaro maintained Constellation Energy with an Overweight and lowered the price target from $323 to $322.
&#8220;Even with the talc litigation, I do want to buy it down here,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>).
On Wednesday, Citigroup analyst Joanne Wuensch maintained Johnson &amp; Johnson with a Buy and lowered the price target from $185 to $175.
Rubrik, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBRK#NYSE">RBRK</a>) is a &#8220;very good&#8221; company, Cramer said. &#8220;The stock has been straight up. And, I've got to tell you, after that last quarter, I understand why it's straight up. It was probably mispriced when it came public.&#8221;
On Dec. 5, Rubrik posted better-than-expected quarterly results.
When asked about JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), he said, &#8220;It's too much of a stretch for me.&#8221;
On Monday, Bernstein analyst Robin Zhu upgraded JD.com from Market Perform to Outperform and raised the price target from $43 to $46.

Jim Cramer Says This CEO 'Built An Amazing Company,' Recommends Buying Netflix

CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer expressed strong buying conviction for Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) during Wednesday&#8217;s Lightning Round on &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; as the streaming giant&#8217;s shares traded near $934 amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42452127/nasdaq-breaks-20000-milestone-as-tech-rally-rate-cut-hopes-fuel-market-optimism">broader tech market strength</a>.

He expressed cautious optimism about Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) &#8220;even with the talc litigation,&#8221; while showing less enthusiasm for JD.com Inc.

<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 280 million subscribers globally. Netflix has exposure to nearly the entire global population outside of China. The firm has traditionally avoided live programming or sports content, instead focusing on on-demand access to episodic television, movies, and documentaries. The firm recently began introducing ad-supported subscription plans, giving the firm exposure to the advertising market in addition to the subscription fees that have historically accounted for nearly all its revenue.

Smart Money Is Betting Big In NFLX Options

Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) shares are trading higher by 2.55% to $936.68 during Wednesday&#8217;s session. JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth raised his price target on the streaming giant from $850 to $1,010.
What To Know: JPMorgan is raising their subscriber growth estimates for the fourth-quarter and beyond, driven by strong content, organic growth and an expanding ad-supported tier. 
Data from Sensor Tower highlights a sharp improvement in global downloads and daily active users, fueled by popular events like the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42042640/netflix-crash-hits-jake-paul-mike-tyson-fight-can-streaming-platform-handle-christmas-day-nfl-action">Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match</a>, the most streamed sporting event ever with 60 million households tuning in live.

For the fourth-quarter, Netflix's subscriber additions are forecasted at 10 million, surpassing its third-quarter performance and near the low end of investor expectations exceeding 10 million. The platform's ad-supported tier is also gaining traction, with 70 million monthly active users, expected to grow to 120 million by the end of 2025. 
JPMorgan additionally says live sports events, including upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42354185/nfl-games-set-thanksgiving-day-records-why-this-is-good-and-bad-news-for-streaming-giant-netflix">Christmas Day NFL games</a>, are enhancing ad monetization and subscriber engagement.
Per JPMorgan, revenue projections for 2025 suggest 15.3% growth on a currency-neutral basis, bolstered by pricing adjustments and ad-tier adoption. Operating income margins are anticipated to expand to 28.4%, with free cash flow reaching $9.3 billion. Content investments, including marquee titles like Squid Game and Stranger Things, are also expected to continue to drive engagement and retention.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NFLX Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Netflix&#8217;s case, it is in the Communication Services sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, NFLX has a 52-week high of $935.47 and a 52-week low of $459.20.

It has the biggest television entertainment subscriber base in both the United States and the collective international market, with more than 280 million subscribers globally.

Crowdsourced encyclopedia Wikipedia has released the lists of its most popular pages for 2024, including some sorted by category. Here's a look at the top items in 2024.
What Happened: When it comes to searching for things online and wondering the who, what, where, when and why, some people <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/wikipedia">turn to Wikipedia</a>.
"When people want to learn about our world – the good, bad, weird, and wild alike – they turn to Wikipedia," site owner Wikimedia Foundation <a href="https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2024/12/03/announcing-english-wikipedias-most-popular-articles-of-2024/">said</a>.
The report said people around the world spent 2.4 billion hours, or around 275,000 years, reading English Wikipedia in 2024.
These were the most visited Wikipedia pages in 2024:
<ol>
<li>Deaths in 2024</li>

List Trends: The biggest trend that stands out from the list is the interest in politics with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance all ranking in the top 10. The 2024 election and 2020 election pages also made the top 25 list with readers likely looking for details on the candidates and key events that shaped these key election years.
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk was one of the only business figures to make the list, ranking 17th. Musk likely saw a spike in interest from people thanks to his growing influence in politics with a public endorsement of Trump and his campaigning in key swing states for the 2024 election.
The electric vehicle company ran by Musk also became a key topic in 2024 with a company event showing off the company's robotaxi ambitions and a growing battle over electric vehicle regulatory credits.
Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) can often influence top searches in a year on Google and shows its presence on the Wikipedia list with Lyle and Erik Menendez, also known as the Menendez Brothers, ranking fourth on the list.
Netflix put out a documentary film in October on the brothers that drew strong interest nationwide and around the world. Netflix also released a series on Griselda Blanco, a figure who ranked 21st on the list.
Movie "Deadpool &amp; Wolverine" ranked eighth on the list. The movie from The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40319102/disneys-deadpool-wolverine-hits-1b-d23-unveils-new-sequels-theme-park-expansions-fortnite-c">set records for R-rated films </a>and is the second highest grossing movie domestically and worldwide at $636.7 million and $1.34 billion respectively.
Global superstar Taylor Swift ranked 11th on the list. In the business world, Swift has been instrumental in the success of several sectors and provided a boost to companies like Live Nation, AMC Entertainment <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42351922/trump-predicted-taylor-swift-sales-would-drop-target-data-shows-over-800k-sold">and most recently</a> Target.

Most Visited Wikipedia Pages In 2024: Trump, Harris, Musk, Swift, Politics And Netflix Dominate List

On CNBC, Jason Snipe Announced Bought More Netflix

The National Football League is enjoying strong viewership for the 2024 season with some records set on Thanksgiving Day, news that streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) likely welcomes as the company may be nervous after struggles with its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42042640/netflix-crash-hits-jake-paul-mike-tyson-fight-can-streaming-platform-handle-christmas-day-nfl-action"> live boxing event.</a>
What Happened: While many people will be opening presents and enjoying time with families on Christmas Day, many will also tune into Netflix for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38850110/netflix-to-stream-2-nfl-christmas-day-games-analyst-sees-strong-growth-potential">two exclusive NFL games</a>, similar to how they celebrated on Thanksgiving.
Netflix will stream its first-ever live NFL games on Christmas with two key matchups that could once again highlight the streaming giant's growth in sports.
At 1 p.m. ET, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs game will stream on Netflix, followed by the 4:30 p.m. ET matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.
NFL viewership has been good for the 2024 season, which could be good and bad for Netflix as the company struggled during its recent live boxing event that featured a headline match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
Netflix reported that over 60 million homes tuned into the boxing event, with a peak of 65 million. That event saw hundreds of thousands of people report issues with the stream and a class action lawsuit filed against the company.
The NFL recently <a href="https://media.nfl.com/news-and-releases/corporate-communications/2024-thanksgiving-day-games-set-viewership-records">reported </a>the three games that aired on Thanksgiving set a new all-time record, with data dating back to 1988. The three games had 141 million viewers, a new record and an average of 34.2 million viewers per game, another record.
The early game between the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears on CBS, a unit of 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>), set a record with 37.5 million viewers, the highest average for the early Thanksgiving Day game.
The midday game between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants on FOX, a unit of Fox Corp (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>), averaged 38.8 million viewers, making it the fourth most watched Thanksgiving Day game ever and fifth most watched regular season NFL game ever.
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41235640/netflix-to-become-default-choice-for-tv-movies-analyst-predicts-more-live-sports-pr">Netflix To Become &#8216;Default Choice&#8217; For TV, Movies? Analyst Predicts More Live Sports, Price Increases</a>
Why It's Important: Thanksgiving Day games have long been highly watched given the event-driven nature of the games on a holiday with people off work and watching games together.
This could be similar on Christmas, which means Netflix could be in store for high viewership for its inaugural NFL games.
For comparison, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has the exclusive streaming rights to Thursday Night Football games and is averaging 13.3 million viewers for those games this season, up 8% year-over-year.
Amazon also streamed an exclusive game on Black Friday for the second straight year. The matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/amazons-nfl-black-friday-game-ratings-up-41-from-2023/">averaged </a>13.51 million viewers, up 41% year-over-year.
The high viewership, which is above Amazon's average, came with a close battle and the Chiefs surviving a last-minute push from the Raiders. The Chiefs are the most-watched NFL team this season, having some of the more popular games and the highest average across national television games.
For Netflix the odds are likely stacked for and against the company to have huge viewership, the big question is if the company can handle the demand and show the games without the same troubles it had during the boxing event.
The Chiefs (11-1), Steelers (9-3), Ravens (8-5) and Texans (8-5) are among the best teams in the NFL with each team ranking first or second in their division and all four teams currently in the NFL Playoffs if the season ended today.
The Texans game will also feature a halftime performance from Beyoncé, adding in potential non-football fan viewership on the holiday.
Add it all up and you have two games with top NFL teams, a holiday where people watch sports together, a halftime performance from a global superstar, a game with the top-watched team in the NFL and the potential of Taylor Swift to be present at the Chiefs game and you have must-see television and sports.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock closed up 0.75% to $917.87 on Thursday after hitting new all-time highs of $927 during the intraday. Netflix stock is up 96% year-to-date in 2024.
