Netflix notches a record quarter and signals more growth ahead
Netflix posted record-setting revenue and earnings for the second quarter on Thursday. The streamer also raised its forecast for the year. Analysts are eyeing the platform's plans to scale through live sports and TV, and grow its ads business. The streaming giant's revenue rose 15.9% year over year to $11.08 billion, and earnings hit $7.19 per share. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expected quarterly revenue of $11.06 billion and earnings of $7.09 per share. Netflix shares rose slightly in after-hours trading following the earnings release on Thursday. The company also raised its revenue forecast for 2025 to $44.8 billion to $45.2 billion, in part because of its momentum in growing subscribers and its advertising business. Wall Street has long crowned Netflix as the streaming king. The streamer's latest win comes on the heels of the success of "Squid Game." The show's third and final season debuted at No. 1 in every country where it debuted during its premiere week in late June. Netflix stopped reporting specific subscriber figures last quarter, which makes it difficult to gauge the platform's user growth. But estimates from third-party data firm Antenna suggest Netflix's gross monthly subscriber additions in the US have fallen from their peak. Analysts are focused on how the platform continues to scale through live sports and TV, as well as creator-driven partnerships. So far, Netflix has announced a return of a Christmas Day NFL game, a September fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terrence Crawford, and a forthcoming reboot of the late-80s hit "Star Search," among other live programming.

Dubois says Alvarez can kiss goodbye to his cash after bet on Usyk
Daniel Dubois told Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez to kiss goodbye to his cash after the Mexican said he bet half a million dollars on Oleksandr Usyk beating the Briton in Saturday's undisputed heavyweight world title fight. Undisputed super-middleweight world champion Alvarez posted on social media this week that he was backing Usyk to add Dubois's IBF belt to the WBC, WBA and WBO ones that the Ukrainian holds. "It means nothing to me," Dubois, 27, told a press conference at London's Wembley Stadium on Thursday with Usyk, 38, also in attendance and with all his belts laid out on his side of the stage. "He's going to lose his money. I'm just focused now. Let's get it on." Dubois (22 wins and two losses) promised he would be writing his own script for the fight, a rematch of one he lost in Poland in 2023, while his camp assured the unbeaten Ukrainian (23 fights, 14 by knockout) that he was up against a changed fighter. "I'm on a different level now and ready to come through whatever on Saturday to get them belts," said Dubois. "This is history-making. I've got to do a real demolition job. I'm hungry and ready for it." Usyk's manager Egis Klimas said Usyk had beaten Dubois once and would do it again and doubted the Londoner was really any different. "It's the same guy. What can he change in a couple of years? You cannot train your mind and that is I think where his weakness is," he said. Usyk said he expected to stop Dubois and brushed aside questions about his age. "I respect this young guy. He is motivated but I am too. I am not old guy. 38 is not old. We will see. It's Saturday," he said. Usyk also responded to some fighting talk from his opponent's team with the repeated expression "don't push the horses". "I think he's trying to gee you up," commented fight promoter Frank Warren, who also manages Dubois. Dubois lost his previous fight against Usyk by a controversial ninth-round knockout after the champion was given time to recover from what the referee ruled was a low blow. The Briton took the IBF title after Usyk relinquished it last year and can become his country's first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. The pair went face-to-face for the cameras after the highly-staged press conference, with Dubois first to look away. Usyk, wearing a Cossack hat, then stared down a smiling Warren. The Briton admitted there were still some tickets available for the fight, describing it as "nigh-on sold out". The weigh-in and final face-off is scheduled for Friday.
