After making another successful strategic choice, Netflix's new segment is thriving. When Netflix (NFLX 0.84%) gave investors its latest financial update, there weren't really any surprises. The headline metrics, revenue and diluted earnings per share, were up strong double-digit percentages year over year in the fourth quarter (ended Dec. 31). The business has continued to operate at a very high level in recent years. But Netflix looks different from its old self. It's now collecting a sizable amount of ad revenue, which surged more than 150% to over $1.5 billion in 2025. Does this trend make Netflix the best stock to buy today with $2,000? Management deserves credit for making a successful pivot It doesn't matter what industry is being discussed. Netflix's leadership team is one of the best. With a stock price that has skyrocketed nearly 21,000% in the past two decades, it's easy to give credit where it's due. However, executives have a history of making successful strategic moves, like launching internationally and investing in original content. The latest pivot came in November 2022, when the business finally introduced a cheaper ad-supported tier. This was a reversal of the prior intention. Reed Hastings, co-founder and previous longtime CEO, shut down the idea of displaying ads in 2020. Given that its competitors were already offering ad-based options, perhaps Netflix decided it was time to jump in the water. The decision might have been spurred by a rocky start in 2022, when Netflix's subscriber count shockingly shrank by 1.2 million in the first six months of the year. Netflix's ad revenue doubled in 2024, and it rose more than 150% last year. "We expect that business to roughly double again in 2026 to about $3 billion," co-CEO Greg Peters said on the Q4 2025 earnings call. Given that Netflix has long been ahead of the pack in the streaming industry, with top-notch content, a massive user base, strong engagement, and low churn, it might come as no surprise t...

peshkov/iStock via Getty Images Despite a significant drop in petroleum prices lately, Exxon Mobil ( XOM ) managed to beat earnings and revenue estimates handsomely last Friday. ExxonMobil benefited from serious output increases compared to last year, especially in the high-potential Permian Basin: in the fourth-quarter, ExxonMobil boosted its total production to 5.0 MOEBD while the refining segment benefited from stronger refining margins as well, offsetting serious price declines in consumer end-markets. ExxonMobil suffered a 30% drop-off in its free cash flow in the fourth-quarter due to falling petroleum prices, but the energy enterprise is an excellent capital allocator and recently raised its dividend to $1.03/share. I like ExxonMobil chiefly as a capital return play and bank on receiving a higher dividend in the future as well. Data by YCharts Previous rating I rated shares of ExxonMobil a strong buy -- AI Catalyst, Strong Growth, 4% Dividend Raise -- due to the oil and gas company having one of the strongest free cash flows in the producer-focused energy industry. ExxonMobil’s core energy segment delivered robust production growth in Q4'25 as well, allowing the energy enterprise to offset some pricing weakness that emerged in the second half of 2025. I maintain my strong buy rating for ExxonMobil and believe that shares continue have upside revaluation potential, even in a market of falling petroleum prices. Strong profitability ExxonMobil beat expectations for its fourth fiscal quarter on January 30, 2026, on both the top and bottom lines: the oil and gas major published $1.71 per-share in normalized earnings, beating the average Wall Street EPS prediction by $0.02. Revenues were $652.4M better-than-expected and came in at $82.3B. Seeking Alpha ExxonMobil generated $6.5B in total earnings in the fourth-quarter, showing a decline of $1.0B quarter-over-quarter due to rising production in OPEC and non-OPEC countries which in turn lead to falling energy prices....

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Assoc., speaking on CNBC's Squawk Box at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Jan. 20th, 2026. Oscar Molina | CNBC Legendary investor Ray Dalio warned on Tuesday that the world is "on the brink" of a capital war, amid simmering geopolitical tensions and volatile capital markets. Speaking to CNBC's Dan Murphy on stage at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Dalio said we are close to teetering into capital war territory — when money is weaponized using measures like trade embargoes, blocking access to capital markets, or using ownership of debt as leverage. "We are on the brink," Dalio said. "That means not in, but it means we are quite close to [capital war], and it would be very easy to go over the brink into a capital war, because there are mutual fears." He pointed to recent escalating tensions over the Trump administration's push to bring Greenland — a Danish territory — under Washington's control. He warned of a "fear" among European holders of U.S.-denominated assets that they could be sanctioned, and that "there could be a reciprocal fear on the part of the United States that it could not get the capital, or not get the buy [from Europe]," he said. watch now VIDEO 4:57 04:57 US-India trade deal is a 'win-win': Economist identifies Indian beneficiaries Inside India European investors accounted for 80% of foreign purchases of U.S. Treasurys between April and November, according to Citi research cited by Reuters. "Capital, money, matters," Dalio said on Tuesday. "We're seeing capital controls … taking place all over the world today, and who will experience that is questionable. So, we are on the brink — that doesn't mean we are in [a capital war now], but it means that it's a logical concern." Since returning to the White House last year, U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed — and walked back from — a swathe of punitive tariffs on trading partners and political adversaries. Those decisions have sparked volatili...

With a market cap of $472.9 billion , Oracle Corporation ( ORCL ) is a global enterprise technology company that provides cloud software, infrastructure, databases, hardware, and consulting services to businesses, governments, and educational institutions worldwide. It delivers solutions spanning cloud applications, industry-specific platforms, and advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, and autonomous databases. Shares of the Austin, Texas-based company have lagged behind the broader market over the past 52 weeks. ORCL stock has declined 5.9% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ( $SPX ) has gained 15.5% . In addition, shares of Oracle have decreased 17.9% on a YTD basis, compared to SPX's 1.9% rise. Looking closer, shares of the software maker have underperformed the State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF's ( XLK ) 25.9% return over the past 52 weeks. Oracle reported strong fiscal Q2 2026 results on Dec. 10, including adjusted EPS up 54% to $2.26, total revenue increasing 14% to $16.1 billion, and cloud revenue up 34% to $8 billion. The company reported a $2.7 billion pre-tax gain from the sale of its stake in Ampere and highlighted robust growth in its Multicloud database business, which surged 817% in Q2. However, the stock tumbled 10.8% the next day. For the fiscal year ending in May 2026, analysts expect ORCL's EPS to grow 36.8% year-over-year to $6.02. The company's earnings surprise history is promising. It beat or met the consensus estimates in the last four quarters. Among the 41 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on 29 “Strong Buys,” one “Moderate Buy” rating, 10 “Holds,” and one “Strong Sell.” On Feb. 3, Piper Sandler lowered Oracle’s price target to $240 while maintaining an “Overweight” rating. The mean price target of $304.03 represents a 89.9% premium to ORCL’s current price levels. The Street-high price target of $400 implies a potential upside of 149.9% from the c...

Sven Piper SpaceX's ( SPACE ) announcement about acquiring xAI ( X.AI ) saw mixed reactions from analysts, with some pondering about benefits and challenges, while others wondered about the future of Elon Musk's car company Tesla ( TSLA ). "The combination of SpaceX and x.AI provides a fascinating combination for investors as AI and space are both growing and individually capture a lot of interest from investors. At the same time, this may also be a drawback for investors who do not want the AI exposure on their space stock. SpaceX may become a public company this year and the acquisition means that SpaceX is no longer a pure-play on space," said Dhierin Bechai , Investing Group Leader for The Aerospace Forum. The analysts noted that Musk believes that the future of AI is in space, due to "infinite access" to solar. "However, the reality is that this brings substantial challenges in terms of power budgets, thermal budgets, maintenance and likely will also result in legal complications. The argument brought forward by Musk for the combination intuitively makes sense, but from an engineering perspective it is more complicated than it appears on the surface," said Bechai. On Monday, Musk said SpaceX has acquired xAI to form the most ambitious, vertically-integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth, with AI, rockets, space-based internet, direct-to-mobile device communications, and the world’s foremost real-time information and free speech platform. "This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI's mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars!" Musk added. Musk intends to establish space-based data centers. "The basic math is that launching a million tons per year of satellites generating 100 kW of compute power per ton would add 100 gigawatts of AI compute capacity annually, with no ongoing operational or maintenance needs. Ultimately, there is a path to launching 1 ...

Svitlana Hulko/iStock via Getty Images TransDigm Group ( TDG ) reported fiscal first-quarter results that topped Wall Street expectations, but the company’s outlook for the full year disappointed investors. Shares of the aircraft parts maker fell 3.6% in premarket trading Tuesday. For fiscal 2026, TransDigm Group ( TDG ) said it expects net sales of $9.85 billion to $10.04 billion, compared with $8.83 billion in fiscal 2025. The midpoint of the range implies growth of 12.6%, and straddles the $9.93 billion consensus estimate. Adjusted earnings per share are projected at $37.42 to $39.34, compared with $37.33 in fiscal 2025 and the $38.62 consensus. Quarter beats on earnings and revenue In the first quarter ended December 27, TransDigm Group ( TDG ) posted revenue of $2.29 billion, up 14% from a year earlier and above analyst estimates of $2.25 billion. Adjusted earnings per share rose to $8.23, beating the Wall Street consensus of $8.04 a share. Net income fell to $445 million, or $6.62 a share, from $493 million, or $7.00 a share, in the year-earlier period. The company said the decline reflected higher interest expense tied to increased debt, partially offset by higher sales. Margins and cash generation TransDigm Group ( TDG ) reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $1.20 billion for the quarter, up 13% from a year earlier. Ebitda margin was 52.4%. On a comparable basis, ebitda increased to $1.15 billion from $1.09 billion in the prior-year quarter. “We are pleased with our team’s performance and operating results for the first quarter,” Chief Executive Mike Lisman said in the earnings release. “Total revenue ran ahead of our expectations.” Updated 2026 view TransDigm Group ( TDG ) raised portions of its fiscal 2026 forecast following the quarter but maintained assumptions that pointed to slower profit growth than analysts had expected. The company said higher interest expense related to prior financing activity would weigh on ne...
