Netflix shares rise as rosy outlook calms investors' nerves amid tariff fears
Netflix shares
rose about 3% in premarket trading on Monday as the streaming giant's upbeat annual revenue outlook reassured investors that it could withstand any economic downturn amid a tariff laden economic climate.
The company's co-CEO
Greg Peters
noted that the entertainment sector, and Netflix specifically, had proven resilient during previous downturns.
Peters said they had not seen any significant shifts in customer behavior, after the company reported first-quarter earnings above analysts' expectations on Thursday.

Netflix also reaffirmed its 2025 revenue forecast of between $43.5 billion and $44.5 billion.
These remarks offered some respite to investors who were worried that President
Donald Trump
's tariff policies could likely lead to a recession, forcing consumers to rein in spending on streaming services.

"Even in a global recession scenario, Netflix is likely to be highly resilient given the price-to-value of the service remains very attractive," said Jeffrey Wlodarczak, an analyst at Pivotal Research Group, who is five-star rated for both estimate accuracy and recommendation performance, as per LSEG data.

"Their advertising business should demonstrate strong growth in any scenario given its nascent state," Wlodarczak said.
The lower-priced, ad-supported tier accounted for 55% of new sign-ups in countries where it is available, Netflix said.
"While advertising is a small portion of the business today, the longer-term prospects are notably robust...while investments in ad-tech capabilities should drive healthy growth for years to come", BofA Global Research analysts said.
Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Netflix aims to double revenue from $39 billion in 2024 and earn about $9 billion in global ad sales by 2030.
The company has upped the ante on delivering steady revenue growth as it ceased reporting subscriber data from this year, leaving Wall Street with fewer metrics to gauge its health.
Peers
Walt Disney
and
Warner Bros Discovery
shares were down under 1% each in premarket trading.
At least seven brokerages raised price target for Netflix following its results, bringing the median target to $1,147.50, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Kangana Ranaut recently embraced a quieter and more introspective journey as she paid a visit to the 30-year-old Shivoham Shiva and Mata Vaishno Devi temple in Bengaluru. Home to a majestic 65-foot Shiva statue and a tranquil meditation sanctuary, the temple stands as an epitome of serenity. Kangana's recent visit to these two iconic spiritual places reflects on her deep-rooted faith and devotion. O ne of the major highlights of her visit was her heart-to-heart conversation with AiR-Atman in Ravi, the Happiness Ambassador, spiritual leader, and founder of Shivoham Shiva Temple. Reflecting on her experience, Kangana Ranaut shared, 'This temple is not just a place of worship, but a powerful centre of spiritual energy. I was truly in awe of its divine beauty and serenity. The vibrations here are incredibly uplifting—it's the kind of place that calls you to sit, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

He continued, 'Our conversation was a beautiful exchange of thoughts on life, consciousness, and the pursuit of inner peace. It's heartening to see public figures embrace and encourage spiritual growth—a path that ultimately leads us to our true self, the Atman. Realising that 'I am not the body; I am the Divine Soul' is the beginning of true bliss. This realisation is the ultimate goal of life.'' In a world that's constantly moving, Kangana's spiritual stopover appears like a much-needed pause.
