Netflix Beats Q2 Expectations, Raises Full-Year Forecasts
Netflix has reinforced its position as the global streaming leader after reporting strong second-quarter results that surpassed expectations across all key company posted revenues of USD 11.1 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of USD 7.19, driven by solid international performance and the impact of a weaker US dollar. Netflix also revised its full-year guidance upward, with projected sales reaching up to USD 45.2 billion and an operating margin of 29.5%, highlighting a business that is scaling efficiently and delivering strong financial leverage. Net income is on track to exceed USD 10 billion for the first time in company the impressive numbers, Netflix shares dipped slightly in after-hours trading, likely a result of the stock's nearly 90% rally over the past 12 to Josh Gilbert, Market Analyst at eToro, "These results reinforce Netflix's dominance in the streaming sector. The company is successfully combining international growth with innovation in advertising and technology, all while continuing to deliver premium content."A key highlight for investors is the rapid growth of Netflix's ad-supported tier, which now boasts over 94 million monthly active users. The company expects to roughly double its advertising revenue in 2025, marking a significant step in building a powerful new growth engine. Netflix is also leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline production processes and enhance viewer targeting—initiatives that are expected to further support margin expansion in the long term.'As Netflix continues to grow, it's clear that the company's strategy is firing on all cylinders,' said Josh Gilbert, Market Analyst at eToro. 'The focus on diversifying revenue—through advertising, live sports, and localized content—puts Netflix in a strong position to capture even more market share globally.'As always, compelling content remains at the heart of Netflix's strategy. The company's robust pipeline includes highly anticipated new seasons of global hits like Stranger Things and Wednesday. In addition, its flagship series Squid Game has already broken viewership records within its first three days of release—setting the stage for strong subscriber growth and engagement in the second half of the year. While competition from major players such as Disney, Apple, and Amazon persists, Netflix continues to lead the industry. Its strategic focus on innovation and global expansion ensures it remains uniquely positioned to drive sustainable, long-term growth.

eToro partners with BridgeWise to launch AI-guided US mid-cap portfolio
Trading and investing platform eToro has partnered with BridgeWise, a global leader in AI-powered investment intelligence, to launch 'MidCapDiverse', a portfolio designed to capture long-term growth opportunities in US mid-cap stocks. Constructed using BridgeWise's proprietary stock analysis model, MidCapDiverse is the first eToro Smart Portfolio focusing on mid-cap stocks. It consists of 30 US-listed stocks with a market capitalisation of up to $50 billion. The model analyses publicly available data, then scores and ranks companies based on a comprehensive set of fundamental metrics. The goal is to identify top-performing mid-cap companies with strong fundamentals and diverse sector representation. Gil Shapira, Chief Investment Officer at eToro said: 'We're excited to leverage BridgeWise's AI-driven fundamental analysis to introduce this new portfolio. Mid-cap stocks are gaining interest at the moment as investors seek to diversify away from tech mega-caps. With interest rates coming down, mid-caps are set to benefit from lower borrowing costs, enhancing their potential for innovation and market share expansion. 'Focusing on the mid-cap segment, the selected stocks are large enough to demonstrate proven business models, yet small enough to have room to grow. The US-listed stocks within this portfolio are also less exposed to global risks as the majority of their revenue is generated domestically. As mid-caps are often under-researched by analysts, this portfolio gives investors a simple and automated way to potentially uncover some hidden gems.' Ayush Khatri, General Manager, MENAT at BridgeWise, said: 'This collaboration with eToro reflects the accelerating demand for institutional-grade intelligence in segments often overlooked by traditional research. By integrating BridgeWise's AI-driven analytics into the MidCapDiverse portfolio, we're giving UAE and regional investors the kind of data clarity and precision they need to spot new opportunities, along with the opportunity to improve liquidity in the overall financial markets.' eToro's range of Smart Portfolios offer long-term exposure to various market themes. They provide long-term investment solutions that offer diversified exposure. Initial investment starts from $500 and any investor can access tools and charts to track the portfolio's performance, while eToro's social feed will keep them up-to-date on developments in the sector.
