In this video, I will be talking about Walt Disney (DIS 0.16%) and Netflix (NFLX -9.09%) and which one might be worth buying today.
- Netflix stock crashed after it reported that for the first time in over a decade, it had lost subscribers.
- Netflix's management announced that it will be adding an ad-supported tier sooner rather than later. This will attract more subscribers and advertising dollars to the leading streaming platform.
- Disney+ added 7.9 million subscribers last quarter, but the majority came from its Disney+ Hotstar bundle, which has an average revenue per user of $0.76.
- Disney's management also reiterated that it would reach its goal by 2024 of having between 230 million and 260 million Disney+ subscribers. By then I predict that it will again be paying a dividend.
- With high inflation, users might consider cutting nonessential costs such as streaming services. This is why Disney might be better a better choice than Netflix currently since you get exposed to much more than Disney+.
- That said, Netflix's move toward advertising could accelerate its growth and fund future projects.
