"Roku Stock Sinks Despite Beating Earnings Expectations"

Streaming video platform Roku exceeded expectations for new user accounts and sales in the fourth quarter, with 4.2 million new accounts and $984.4 million in sales. However, the stock fell in extended trading as the sales outperformance was lower than anticipated, and the average revenue per user dropped 4% year over year. Despite predicting higher revenue for the current quarter and achieving positive adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow for 2023, Roku stock dropped more than 13% in after-hours trading.

"Netflix Stock Surges as Analysts Predict Path to $500 and More Growth"

Netflix's stock rallied after Oppenheimer analyst Jason Helfstein raised his price target to $500, citing the streaming giant's growth outlook as it phases out its lowest-priced ad-free subscription tier. Helfstein believes that discontinuing the lowest-priced plan would boost revenue per subscriber and unlock about $4.4 billion in annual revenue. He also noted that an extended strike by Hollywood writers could drive subscribers to Netflix, given the company's deep backlog of shows unaffected by the strike. Netflix's shares of the TV viewership market have continued to grow, reaching 2.6% this quarter.
