Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) , a provider of on-demand streaming of movies and TV shows globally, closed Wednesday at $85.36, down 2.18%. The stock moved lower as investors weighed a Q4 earnings beat and a new all-cash bid for Warner Bros. Discovery . Trading volume reached 124.8 million shares, more than double the three-month average of 48.1 million. Netflix IPO'd in 2002 and has grown 71,247% since going public. S&P 500 rose 1.16% to finish Wednesday at 6,875, while the Nasdaq Composite added 1.18% to close at 23,225. Among entertainment rivals, Walt Disney closed at $113.23, up 2.62%, and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) finished at $28.53, gaining 1.03%, as investors assessed evolving streaming strategies and deal speculation across the entertainment landscape. Shortly after the company announced a new potential all-cash bid for WBD yesterday, Netflix reported Q4 earnings that beat Wall Street’s expectations, but were ultimately deemed underwhelming. While sales and earnings per share jumped 18% and 30%, respectively, management’s “conservative” 2026 guidance for 14% revenue growth and $6 billion in free cash flow (FCF) — down from $9 billion in 2025 — left the market slightly disappointed.

Trump Right About Arctic Security, NATO's Rutte Says In what could have been the starting gun of Trump's de-escalation, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that the US President was right about security in the Arctic. “When it comes to the Arctic, I think President Trump is right. Other leaders in NATO are right. We need to defend the Arctic,” the former Dutch prime minister said. “We know that the sea lanes are opening up.” Rutte said that China and Russia were becoming increasingly active in the Arctic Circle, and acknowledged that this posed a problem for the alliance. “There are eight countries bordering on the Arctic. Seven are members of NATO. That’s Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Canada, and the U.S.,” Rutte said. “And there’s only one country bordering on the Arctic outside NATO, and that’s Russia. And I would argue there is a ninth country, which is China, which is increasingly active in the Arctic region. So, President Trump and other leaders are right, we have to do more there, we have to protect the Arctic.” Furthermore, as Guy Birchall reports for The Epoch Times , Rutte also praised Trump for upping the contributions from many NATO member states to the alliance’s budget. “Do you really think that without Donald Trump, eight big economies in Europe, including Spain, Italy, and Belgium, Canada, by the way, also outside Europe, would have come to 2 percent in 2025 when they were only on 1.5 percent at the beginning of the year?” Rutte said. “No way. Without Donald Trump, this would never have happened. They are all on 2 percent now.” NATO's Rutte: I know many of you criticize Trump. But do you really think that, without Trump, eight big economies in Europe—including Spain, Italy, and Belgium—and Canada would have reached the two-percent defense spending target in 2025? At the beginning of the year, they… pic.twitter.com/KVmv0J6hXO — Clash Report (@clashreport) January 21, 2026 Rutte’s...

By the time your 50s roll around, it's time to get serious about retirement savings if you haven't been prioritizing your nest egg already. That's because you may only have about another decade of earning years ahead of you. The good news is that retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s let you make catch-up contributions if you're 50 or older. That's a great way to boost savings and make up for years when you perhaps weren't able to contribute toward your nest egg. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Braskem SA is aiming to present an out-of-court restructuring plan to creditors by March as it moves to address its mounting debt woes, according to people familiar with the matter. That timeline would require asset manager IG4 Capital — which last month advanced on a deal to buy Novonor’s stake in the petrochemicals giant — to be in place at Braskem to negotiate terms, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing a private matter. Discussions are ongoing and could still fall through or hit snags, they added. Novonor, the conglomerate formerly known as Odebrecht, and a fund advised by IG4 signed a binding agreement with creditor banks to buy all of Novonor’s debt backed by Braskem shares. The parties also struck a 60-day exclusivity period to negotiate a transaction involving Braskem shares which, if completed, would give IG4 control of the petrochemicals firm, with just over 50% of its voting stock and about a third of its total capital. The deal still requires approval from Brazilian, Mexican, European and US regulators. Camille Faria, former CFO at Americanas SA, is among names to take on a C-suite job after the stake sale is completed, people familiar with the matter said. Braskem declined to comment. IG4 declined to comment, and Faria didn’t immediately reply to a message seeking comment. Prices on the company’s debt slumped last year after Braskem hired advisers to review its capital structure amid a prolonged industry slump and an environmental disaster in one of its salt mines that forced it to set aside billions in compensation and cost its investment grade score. Fitch Ratings has flagged “heightened” refinancing risk and liquidity pressure, downgrading the company’s debt to CC late last year.
