In this article, I explore the key factors that investors need to focus on in the company’s Q1 report. A Recap of Q4 Results NFLX had a strong finish to the year, comfortably beating on both the top- and bottom-line estimates. More specifically, Q4 revenues came in at $12.05 billion , up 17.6% y/y and beating analyst estimates by $83.91 million. Diluted EPS came in at $0.56, up 27.3% and beating analyst estimates by $0.01. For the first quarter, management projected revenues to come in at $12.16 billion, which would translate to a growth of 15.3% y/y. Diluted EPS is expected to come in at $0.76, which would translate to a y/y growth of 15.1%. Finally, the company’s operating margins are projected to come in at 32.1%, which would represent an expansion of 40 bps y/y [or 0.4%]. Q1 Expectations According to LSEG Data, analysts expect Q1 revenues to come in at $12.18 billion, which would represent a y/y growth of 16%. Non-GAAP EPS is expected to come in at $0.76, which would imply a y/y growth of 15%. The company, according to LSEG data, has had a strong track record when it comes to beating revenue estimates, as evidenced by the fact that the stock has beaten revenue estimates in nine of the last ten quarters, with the magnitude of positive surprise coming in at a decent 0.63%, on average. Even in the quarter that it missed estimates, revenues were largely in line with analyst estimates. I expect NFLX to continue its track record of beating analyst estimates in Q1 given the strong content slate, driven by the likes of Season 7 of Black Mirror .

Silicon Valley startup SiFive said on Thursday it has raised a $400 million round of funding from Atreides Management, Nvidia and others to enter the booming market for data-center central processor chips. The round brings SiFive's valuation to $3.65 billion, and CEO Patrick Little told Reuters he expects it to be the firm's last round of funding before filing for a public offering, though he did not say when SiFive plans to do so. SiFive does not sell chips but instead sells blueprints that customers such as Alphabet's Google can customize for their own internal chip designs.

Akanda ( AKAN ) announced on Thursday that it expects to implement a 1-for-4.5 reverse stock split of the company's common shares effective April 13, 2026. The reverse stock split was previously approved by the company's shareholders on November 28, 2025, and the Board of Directors on March 23, 2026, and will begin trading on an adjusted basis, giving effect to the reverse stock split at the opening of the market on April 13, 2026, under the existing ticker symbol "AKAN". In accordance with the proposal approved by the company's shareholders on November 28, 2025, the company said it may effect one or more future consolidations of its issued and outstanding common shares based on a consolidation ratio to be selected by the Board within a range between two pre-consolidation common shares for one post-consolidation common share and 100 pre-consolidation common shares for one post-consolidation common share. Since then, the Board has determined to approve a reverse split within the 2-for-100 aggregate ratio approved by shareholders by fixing the split ratio at 4.5:1 so that every five common shares of the company would be automatically combined into one common share. This will reduce the number of outstanding common shares of the company from approximately 2.4 million to approximately 534.4 thousand. Source: Press Release More on Akanda Corp.
