NFLX’s Upcoming Content to Fend Off Competition

Netflix has been focusing on quality content for a long time now. In the rest of 2024, NFLX is going to release a huge content slate to keep viewers excited.

Upcoming content from the company includes movies, series and regional content. Movies include Bionic, Colors of Evil: Red and A Part of You. Highly anticipated series are Eric and Geek Girl. Regional content like All the Love You Wish For, Doctor Climax and Hierarchy are also expected to fend off competition from giants like Amazon AMZN Prime Video, Apple AAPL TV+ and Disney DIS.

Amazon Prime Video offers a larger library compared with NFLX, but the latter excels with a vast collection of original content and highly-rated shows. Additionally, it provides more subtitles, enhancing accessibility for viewers. Both services stream in 1080p HD and 4K UHD, but Netflix has a more extensive selection of 4K content, making it a preferred choice for higher video quality. To attract new subscribers, Amazon is working on exciting projects like the debut season of The GOAT and the second seasons of Outer Range and Them: The Scare.

Apple TV+ and NFLX are both prominent streaming services, each offering unique advantages. While the latter has a more extensive content library and broader device compatibility, Apple TV+ focuses on delivering high-quality content rather than a vast quantity. It is also more budget-friendly than Netflix, making it an appealing choice for viewers looking for premium content at a lower cost. Upcoming titles on Apple TV+ include Trying, Presumed Innocent and Fancy Dance.

Disney’s Disney+ offers a more affordable price than NFLX, appealing to budget-conscious viewers seeking a variety of exclusive content. While Netflix has a larger and more diverse content library, Disney+ focuses on exclusive movies and shows from beloved brands like Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic. Its upcoming series include Doctor Who, The Acolyte and Ironheart.

Netflix, a name synonymous with streaming entertainment, has revolutionized how we consume movies and TV shows. In 190 countries and multiple languages, Netflix ensures unmatched accessibility across various devices, including smart TVs, game consoles, smartphones and tablets.

The upcoming shows are expected to aid NFLX’s streaming revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NFLX’s 2024 streaming revenues is pegged at $38.6 billion, indicating 15% growth from the year-ago levels. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $18.3 per share, indicating 52.12% growth from the year-earlier actuals.

Zacks Names “Single Best Pick to Double”

From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.

It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.

This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
