When most other stocks and sectors suffered during the past year owing to market volatility triggered by inflation, socioeconomic factors, and interest rate hikes, how has the entertainment sector fared in the stock market? Has it managed to keep up with its reputation of being a sought-after segment in the US equity market?

Let us explore two US entertainment stocks and their performance in the most recent days:

Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX)

Netflix, Inc. is a US subscription video-on-demand OTT streaming service and production company based out of Los Gatos, California. The OTT behemoth Netflix drew around 2.41 million subscribers in the third quarter of 2022.

The company said its net income plunged to US$ 1.39 billion in the third quarter of 2022 due to the appreciation of the US dollar. In Q3 2021, the net income was US$ 1.44 billion.

Netflix recently mentioned that it will crack down on password sharing in 2023, as it affects their business badly. It will introduce the creation of sub-accounts. It is anticipating net addition to touch 4.5 million in the last quarter of 2022 with a revenue expectation of US$ 7.8 billion.

Netflix achieved a revenue of US$ 7.92 billion in Q3 2022, compared to US$ 7.48 billion in the same period in 2021.

The NFLX stock surged over 4.62 per cent in the last five days.

Bottom line:

In a bearish market, do your stock analysis carefully and do not put bets on any stock until you are very sure. You can take the long-term strategy and diversify your portfolio to deal with the market volatility.
