We recently published 10 Trending Stocks This Week. Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) is one of the trending stocks this week.

Jessica Inskip from StockBrokers explained in a recent program on Schwab Network why she’s picking Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX). The analyst said the stock showed up in her “growth scan” and that she likes the company’s fundamentals.

“I’m looking at forward PE ratios relative to growth expectations in comparisons to the company’s benchmarks and the overall market and I’m looking for something that stands out. And Netflix was something that showed up on that list. So that’s where this came from. And then diving deeper, you said the ad supported that’s coming from Netflix. That’s just expected to be material by 2026. And they’re expanding into live events. And I’m noticing there is a lot of chatter around sports and gaming. If we’re looking at event contracts, well, if not necessarily everyone is utilizing that, but Netflix is also getting into that game. So that seems like that’s going to be a larger ad opportunity that will materialize and help with additional growth within Netflix.”

Macquarie Core Equity Fund stated the following regarding Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) offers a subscription-based streaming service. We expect the company’s growth momentum will continue while investments in content and licensing grow at a slower rate, allowing for higher margins over the coming two to three years.”
