Disney or Netflix: Which Stock Is Better Amid Market Volatility?

As the stock market faces turbulence, investors are debating between Disney (DIS) and Netflix (NFLX) as potential buys. Disney’s stock surged by 11.89% today, closing at $91.44, driven by optimism surrounding its upcoming earnings announcement and Bob Iger’s strategic focus on theme parks and streaming profitability. Netflix, on the other hand, rose by 8.62%, ending at $945.47, buoyed by strong subscriber monetization despite slowing growth projections.

 

Disney offers stability with its diversified business model spanning media, parks, and merchandise. Meanwhile, Netflix’s high valuation (PE ratio of 47.63) reflects its dominance in global streaming and advertising tiers but carries risks tied to subscriber engagement trends.

 

Experts suggest Disney may be better suited for conservative investors seeking steady recovery post-pandemic, while Netflix appeals to those banking on digital innovation amid market volatility.
