Key Points After a terrible second half of 2025, Netflix stock has continued to tumble in 2026. Netflix capped off 2025 with an impeccable balance sheet, high margins, and record earnings. Its planned acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery makes its financial health and profitability less certain. 10 stocks we like better than Netflix › Since reaching an all-time high on June 30, 2025, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) stock has been under pressure -- falling 30% in the second half of 2025. In December, I predicted that Netflix would crush the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) from 2026 through 2030. But the streaming stock is already down 12.3% year to date while the S&P 500 is up 1.3%. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Here's what's driving the sell-off in Netflix stock and if it's still a buy now. Netflix's valuation has plummeted Netflix finished 2025 with an ultra-strong balance sheet -- consisting of just $4.4 billion in long-term debt net of cash and cash equivalents. It produced $13.3 billion in 2025 operating income and $11 billion in net income on $45.2 billion in revenue -- good for an operating margin of 29.4% and an after-tax net profit margin of 24.3%. Netflix is a financially healthy, high-margin cash cow with predictable recurring revenue and a global audience. Despite challenges with consumer spending, Netflix continues to grow -- coming off a record $2.53 in 2025 earnings per share. These qualities make Netflix the kind of company long-term investors dream about -- and that was reflected in its valuation. At its peak, Netflix was trading at over 60 times trailing earnings and over 50 times forward earnings. The sell-off has pushed Netflix's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio down to just 32.5 and its forward P/E down to 26.3. In just seven months, Netflix has gone from an expensive growth stock to commanding only a slight premium to the S&...

Nearly half of Pershing Square Capital Management's $14.6 billion in invested assets can be traced to two trillion-dollar stocks and a runaway market share leader in a rapidly growing industry. No investment trend has been hotter on Wall Street over the last three years than artificial intelligence (AI). Giving software and systems the capacity to make accurate, split-second decisions without human intervention represents a technological leap forward that can benefit most industries around the globe. This is a multitrillion-dollar opportunity that isn't lost on Wall Street's most successful investors. Based on quarterly Form 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, several well-known billionaire money managers have piled into an assortment of promising AI stocks, including Pershing Square Capital Management's boss, Bill Ackman. Ackman is best known as an activist investor who identifies undervalued assets and often pushes for corporate change or board seats to unlock shareholder value. His fund closed out the third quarter with $14.6 billion in assets under management, spread across 11 holdings. Portfolio concentration is a relatively common trait among activist investors. But what's noteworthy about Ackman's investment portfolio is his favoritism of artificial intelligence stocks. Approximately 48% of Pershing Square Capital Management's invested assets can be traced back to just three brand-name AI stocks -- one of which is at the forefront of an exceptionally fast-growing addressable market. Alphabet: 19% of invested assets Perhaps it's no surprise that the favorite artificial intelligence stock of billionaires, Alphabet (GOOGL 1.77%)(GOOG 1.79%), is one of Bill Ackman's largest holdings. As of Sept. 30, Pershing Square held 4,843,973 shares of Alphabet's Class A shares (GOOGL) and 6,342,031 of its Class C shares (GOOG). Collectively, 19% of the roughly $14.6 billion Ackman was overseeing at the end of the third quarter was tied to this member of ...

A series of office towers in Paris’s financial district are being taken over by lenders or are set for cut-price sales as the area grapples with a soaring vacancy rate and collapsing valuations. Cale Street Partners , a lender backed by the Kuwait Investment Authority , has taken control of the Tour Hopen building in the La Defense district to the west of central Paris, people with knowledge of the process said, asking not to be identified as the details aren’t public. The building was owned by a group of investors led by Praemia REIM France. Last month “shareholders of the fund that owned the Hopen Tower sold all of their shares to Cale Street Investments, which became the sole shareholder of the fund,” a representative for Praemia wrote in a statement in response to questions. Praemia remains the manager of the fund, while Generale Continentale Investissements has taken over as the building’s asset manager, it said. The office towers of La Defense, about five kilometers west of central Paris, have been hit by the rise of home working, the end of the zero interest rate era and volatile French politics that have undermined business confidence. Demand for office space has focused on Paris’ central districts, causing vacancy rates in the area to soar. “A high level of uncertainty, driven by both international factors and domestic political tensions, has significantly constrained occupier demand,” Knight Frank researchers wrote in a report due to be published this month. Vacancy rates across Paris vary significantly, from about 5.5% in the center to 31.8% in the suburbs around La Defense, the report said. There was about €455 million ($542 million) of debt, including unpaid interest, secured against the recently completed Tour Hopen as of December 2024, according to the latest available filings. Further loans were taken out post reporting period, the filings show. Accounts for the company that owns the building show that the terms of the loans had been breached as of 3...
Euro-area pay growth is set to quicken in the second half of the year, supporting the European Central Bank ’s view that interest rates can remain steady.

Euro-area pay growth is set to quicken in the second half of the year, supporting the European Central Bank ’s view that interest rates can remain steady. The ECB’s wage tracker, published Wednesday, predicts salaries will rise by an annual 2.7% in the fourth quarter after advancing 2.6% in the third. While far below the peak of more than 5% in 2024, that’s stronger than the projection for the first six months. “The rise in the wage path over the course of the year is related to the dissipation of the mechanical downward effect of large one-off payments that were made in 2024 but not in 2025,” the ECB said in a statement . “These mechanical effects are expected to virtually disappear over the course of 2026.” Confidence among officials that inflation will stabilize at 2% hinges on slower salary gains cooling price pressures in the labor-intensive services sector. President Christine Lagarde has said she’s “very attentive” to salaries amid lingering uncertainties. The ECB, which has kept interest rates steady since last June, lists wages as a potential upside inflation risk due to their influence on the services component.

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images I wrote about Kimberly-Clark Corp. ( KMB ) in October here just days before the Kenvue Inc. ( KVUE ) merger announcement. My bullish view was based on an unusually high dividend yield from this defensive consumer product leader. Of course, the initial reaction to the takeover news was a nice hit (about -20%) to KMB's share quote, paying a sizable premium to the prevailing KVUE share quote. I have maintained Kimberly as a Buy with or without the business combination. It appears that the marriage is going to happen at this stage, with shareholder approval reached in late January . Kimberly-Clark - Q4 2025 Earnings Presentation The value proposition remains just as good with the merger vs. Kimberly as a standalone enterprise. There will be added debt, but some synergies and cost savings balance out things in my view. For sure, owning one of the largest OTC healthcare and wellness-focused consumer staples in the world will be an attractive long-term hold for all kinds of investors. Plus, a nearly 5% dividend yield is still available for new KMB investors. In this story, I wanted to put out a quick review of the improving chart momentum pattern in recent weeks. I am guessing KMB has reached its bottom under $100 and will now find flight-to-safety buyers as money flows toward defensive names and away from Big Tech AI-bubble winners. Believe it or not, most indexes outside of the technology space have bested the popular Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 ETF ( QQQ ) for several months already. So, the rotation of dollars out of growth into value/income ideas could be the main investing theme of 2026. I actually increased my KMB position last week, based on the strengthening momentum picture. Let me explain some of the datapoints I am looking at, both technical and fundamental reasons to buy Kimberly. Bottoming Momentum Pattern The main difference for KMB's investment setup in February, which has not existed in nearly a year, is ample tradi...
