Netflix Lifted Guidance. Is the Stock a Buy Following Its Drop?
Key Points Netflix turned in strong results and upbeat guidance. However, the stock fell as expectations were high going into the recent report. The Netflix story remains unchanged, but the stock's valuation has gotten pricey. 10 stocks we like better than Netflix › Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) once again delivered strong revenue and earnings growth when it reported its Q2 results on July 17, but the stock nonetheless fell on the news. The video streaming company has been a strong performer this year, with the stock up 38% year to date as of market close July 21 despite the pullback. As such, expectations were high going into the report. A huge market winner over the years, let's see if this pullback could be a buying opportunity, especially after the company raised its guidance. Solid growth and upbeat outlook Netflix said the key to its success is offering a wide array of quality series and films that resonate with its viewers. It noted that a hit show or film typically only accounts for about 1% of total viewing, so it looks for a continuous stream of quality content across regions and genres to keep viewers and bring in new ones. As an international company, Netflix is also using a "local for local" content strategy to appeal and connect with audiences in their home countries. It said non-English content now makes up more than one-third of its viewing hours. Meanwhile, these shows can also become hits with American audiences, such as Squid Game from Korea, or Japan's Alice in Borderland. Netflix's investment in local content has been helping drive its results, as international revenue growth has been outpacing U.S. and Canadian growth. This continued in Q2. Asia-Pacific growth led the way, with revenue climbing 24% to $1.3 billion, while EMEA (Europe, Middle East, & Africa) revenue jumped 18% to $3.5 billion. Latin American revenue rose 9% to $1.3 billion, but was up 23% in local currencies. U.S. and Canada revenue, meanwhile, grew 15% to $4.9 billion. Netflix's overall revenue rose 16% to $11.08 billion, which was just ahead of the $11.07 billion analyst consensus, as compiled by LSEG. Earnings per share (EPS) soared 47% to $7.19, surpassing the $7.08 analyst consensus. Most of Netflix's revenue growth currently appears to be coming from price increases and membership additions. However, growing its ad business is a priority. Its ad revenue is expected to double this year, and it recently rolled out its new adtech platform to all of its ad markets. The company also continues to expand its live programming, including boxing matches and two scheduled NFL games on Christmas. It also has weekly live programming through its broadcast of WWE's Monday Night Raw. Looking ahead, Netflix guided for Q3 revenue to climb 17% with a 31% operating margin. It said its second-half operating margin will be lower than the first half due to higher content amortization and sales and marketing costs related to its larger second-half content slate. For the full year, it raised it revenue guidance, taking it to a range of $44.8 billion to $45.2 billion, up from a prior outlook of between $43.5 billion to $44.5 billion. It also increased its operating margin outlook from 29% to 30%. Currency rates are responsible for about half the operating margin increase. Should investors buy the pullback? Netflix stock had a strong year leading up to earnings, so expectations were high. The company turned in solid results and boosted its outlook, although that was not enough for investors to continue to push the stock higher. The stock is down about 1.6% after the report. That said, nothing has fundamentally changed with Netflix's story. The company is still benefiting from price increases, while its membership numbers continue to grow, especially in international markets. Meanwhile, advertising should become the company's largest growth driver over time when its ad-tiered plans and live content gain more scale. However, with the stock trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 47 times analyst estimates for 2025, even after the pullback, I would not be a buyer at current levels. I think the stock has solid potential over the long term, but I'd still want a cheaper valuation before I hop on board. Do the experts think Netflix is a buy right now?

Former hostages meet Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot
Gal Gadot met with former hostages Doron Steinbrecher, Liri Albag, Naama Levy, Moran Stella Yanai, and Ilana Gritzewsky. Several female former hostages met Israeli actress Gal Gadot on Tuesday, according to a press release from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. Gadot met with former hostages Doron Steinbrecher, Liri Albag, Naama Levy, Moran Stella Yanai, and Ilana Gritzewsky in Israel. In the meeting, the women shared their stories of captivity and expressed their gratitude for her activism. 'You've all been through incredibly difficult things, and I can't believe you're standing here today, continuing your lives and fighting for others," Gadot said. 'You are an inspiration, you are strength' "Watching you carry the weight for those still in captivity — you are an inspiration, and you are strength. I hope with all my heart they all come home soon.' The hostages emphasized the importance of continuing to speak out about those still remaining in captivity. 'Don't stop. We must keep talking and keep them in people's hearts and minds," said Doron Steinbrecher. At the Jerusalem Film Festival, Gadot called for an end to the Israel-Hamas War. 'The most important thing all of us wish is that we can breathe again calmly, and we will be able to do that when the hostages return home." Their meeting comes as Israeli and Palestinian delegations hold talks about a ceasefire and hostage deal. Israel and its negotiating partners are still waiting for Hamas's response to the proposed deal presented by mediators last week. N12 reported that Hamas is stalling talks, and that American mediators believe that "if there is no agreement this time, the blame will lie fully with Hamas." Solve the daily Crossword

9 worst 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' performances, ranked from Ozzy Osbourne to Jeff Gordon
Singing performances are part of the environment of an MLB game. From the national anthem before the matchup gets under way, to the seventh-inning stretch and "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," fans can always expect to sing along to some well-known American songs. Every once in a while, though, performances at baseball games don't go so well, becoming well-known for the wrong reasons. Everybody remembers the ... interesting rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" that came from Ingrid Andress at the 2024 Home Run Derby. However, it's "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" that usually draws the more high-profile performers, whether they're singers or from other genres of entertainment. When a celebrity is in the building, chances are, they could get invited to perform during the seventh-inning stretch. Sometimes, those performances are oddly thrilling, like Bill Murray singing as Daffy Duck during the 2016 World Series. Other times, things go south for varying reasons, like the performer forgetting the words. Here are the nine worst performances of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at MLB stadiums — most of which are from Wrigley Field, a historic site for the seventh-inning stretch anthem. MORE: 16 NFL stars you didn't know were drafted by MLB teams 9. William Hung, Rogers Centre, May 2004 William Hung's fame spawned in 2004, when he auditioned for the third season of "American Idol" and drew heavy criticism from the judges. Still, he built a significant following and became somewhat of a celebrity despite not having the best singing skills. By May 2004, he had already appeared on everything from "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to "Dateline NBC," and he was even brought back for a special "American Idol" episode at the request of fans. In the prime of his brief music career, Hung took his talents to Toronto for an MLB game. Singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" in front of Blue Jays fans, Hung didn't stumble ... for the most part. English was not Hung's first language, as he's from Hong Kong and moved to the U.S. when he was young. But he happened to mispronounce perhaps the most important word to get right in the traditional baseball song: Peanuts. You get the idea. Otherwise, Hung put on a nice show for the Canadian crowd, even throwing in a "it's time to" in front of "root, root, root." MORE:Complete list of every MLB All-Star Game MVP by year 8. Mr. T, Wrigley Field, May 2009 In May 2009, former actor and occasional pro wrestler Mr. T took the stage at Wrigley Field for the seventh-inning stretch. "Alright Cubs fans, let me hear it!" he said. Mr. T did not butcher any lyrics, so this one isn't too bad. In fact, the way he yells "One, two, three strike you out," was pretty funny. But he also didn't have much of a tune throughout the song, seeming to just scream his way through each word. MORE:What are the longest blasts in Home Run Derby history? 7. Conor McGregor, Wrigley Field, September 2021 Even non-UFC fans are familiar with Conor McGregor's loud, outgoing personality. He's hard to ignore. In 2021, "The Notorious" took a trip to Wrigley Field, throwing out a first pitch and stepping up to the mic for the seventh-inning stretch. "What's up, Chicago?" McGregor began. "Let's go Chicago Cubs." The Irishman didn't have a terrible start to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," but the more time that passed, the more out-of-tune he got. It sounded like Conor never heard the rhythm of the song before he decided to sing it in front of thousands of people. MORE:Ranking the 13 greatest Home Run Derby performances of all time 6. Scottie Pippen, Wrigley Field, October 2016 Scottie Pippen is a Chicago sports legend. You would think that at least once or twice throughout his Hall of Fame basketball career, he stopped over at Wrigley Field for a Cubs game. But when he began to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the 2016 NLCS, poor Scottie sounded like he was a newbie to the song. Pippen kept a smile on the whole time he sang during the Cubs playoff game, but when he got to the second line, it went south. "Take me out to the ball game, take me out to the ball game," Pippen repeated. "I don't care if I never ..." The Bulls Hall of Famer took a few lines off from there, although Pippen did get back into the song and went mistake-free the rest of the way, to his credit. MORE:Who are the oldest players to see action in an MLB game? 5. Alex Cooper, Wrigley Field, July 2025 Alex Cooper, the host of the popular podcast "Call Her Daddy," also took the mic at Wrigley Field for "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." And to be fair, she at least put some effort into trying to have a good performance. With two of her friends acting as "background dancers" while she was on the camera, all wearing sunglasses, Cooper initially sang the tune in a deep voice, laughing along the way. The crowd's reaction to her performance was pretty bad, though. Boos rang through Wrigley Field so loud that it was hard to hear Cooper sing. No, Cooper didn't mess up the words, and she also incorporated more choreography than most performers. But getting the crowd to sing along is part of the fun of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," and Cooper certainly did not do that. MORE:Ranking the 11 most memorable Subway Series moments of all time 4. Jeff Gordon, Wrigley Field, May 2005 Jeff Gordon is one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history, but nobody should credit him as a great performer when it comes to singing. In 2005, Gordon appeared at a Cubs game, asking the crowd, "You guys ready to do this?" before his rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Maybe he's not completely to blame for this, but Gordon could barely get through the first line before he was no longer lined up with the organ player. By the time he was at "buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks," the crowd was singing a completely different part of the song than Gordon. Eventually, he got booed as he stopped for bits of the song.

So you'd think he knows the basic lyrics to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," right? Wrong. "Cubbie fans!" he said to the crowd, then began singing. "Take me to the ballgame." No, he didn't say "out" at the beginning, removing one of the main words in the title of the song. That turned the crowd off from the start, and Warren G got a few boos in Chicago.

Mike Ditka, Wrigley Field, July 1998 Chicago fans certainly enjoy Mike Ditka, a longtime Bear and NFL champion with the team in 1963, prior to the Super Bowl era, also bringing the team a title in 1986's Super Bowl XX as a head coach. But on July 5, 1998, the fans in Chicago had a legitimate reason to boo Ditka. He was tabbed to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," and not only was Ditka late to the mic, causing fans to wait impatiently as he eventually scrambled into the booth, but his performance was sub-par. The former football player and coach sped through the song at a rapid pace, so much so that the organ player couldn't keep up with the song. Maybe he just wanted to get out of Wrigley Field, but Ditka barely made the song last longer than 20 seconds as he yelled. MORE:Ranking the 18 greatest Dallas Cowboys players of all time 1. Ozzy Ozbourne, Wrigley Field, August 2003 Ozzy Osbourne was a rock legend, but he was also quite the character. One of the all-time moments from Ozzy came in August 2003, when he sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" in front of Cubs fans. He knew how to put on a show, at least. "I want to hear a real crazy crowd, start singing with me. Are you ready?" Ozzy asked thousands at Wrigley Field. With Sharon Osbourne by his side, Ozzy then proceeded to mumble his way through the entire middle portion of the song. He got out, "Take me out to the ball game" and "Two, three strikes you're out at the old ball game," but that was about it. To give him some credit, Ozzy got the whole tune right, but it was almost all gibberish. MORE:Is there a Home Run Derby curse that really ruins swings?
