Could Netflix Stock Help You Become a Millionaire?
There aren't many businesses that have rewarded shareholders as much as Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has. The entertainment giant has seen its share price catapult 49,590% higher in the past two decades (as of June 19). A $2,020 investment in the company in June 2005 would be worth $1 million today, which is surely a wonderful outcome. Netflix is now worth $520 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable businesses. If you buy this streaming stock today, could it help you become a millionaire in the future? Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Growing at a double-digit pace As a disruptor to the media industry, Netflix has achieved impressive growth historically. The company launched its streaming service in the U.S. in 2007. And by the end of 2024, it had eclipsed 300 million global subscribers. The business has a presence in more than 190 countries across the globe, highlighting its broad reach. Netflix no longer reports its quarterly subscriber metrics. However, the business continues to grow at a double-digit pace. Revenue was up 12.5% in the firset quarter. Management expects a 15.4% year-over-year jump in the current quarter. It's not a surprise that the U.S. and Canada are Netflix's two most mature markets. Naturally, the business might be close to reaching a saturation point in these countries. But there's still potential to penetrate less-developed international markets, particularly in Asia-Pacific and Latin America. As the middle class in these areas keeps growing while broadband internet access expands, Netflix can capture more customers. The leadership team isn't shying away from testing new waters. For example, Netflix no longer allows accounts that share passwords. What's more, the company finally launched an ad-supported streaming option in November 2022, something management said previously that it wouldn't do. This cheaper subscription tier should drive a doubling of ad revenue in 2025, a clear indication of the strong demand and monetization of the lower-cost plan. And more recently, we've seen Netflix cover live sports. The business has rights to show the National Football League's Christmas Day games through 2026. And it has the U.S. rights for the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2027 and 2031. Investors should be realistic about expectations Netflix has become a dominant enterprise. It has built up durable competitive strengths that make it hard to disrupt and that raise the chances of long-term success. Consider the Netflix brand. It's undoubtedly a leader in the media and entertainment space on a worldwide basis. Netflix is also used interchangeably as a verb, showcasing how much consumer mindshare the brand has. Netflix generated $40 billion in trailing-12-month revenue, and as previously mentioned, it has more than 300 million members. This gives it tremendous scale, allowing the business to invest heavily in content at a pace that its competitors can't match. Consequently, Netflix's scale has resulted in huge profits. The financial forecast calls for a 29% operating margin in 2025, with free cash flow of $8 billion planned as well. With so many wonderful qualities, investors might be inclined to buy shares in the hopes that Netflix can one day make them millionaires. But it's best to keep expectations in check. Netflix is a mature company, so it's likely that the pace of growth will continue to slow in the years ahead. That's a reasonable expectation to have. The valuation also doesn't help the cause. As of June 19, the stock trades at an expensive price-to-earnings ratio of about 58. To be fair, Netflix is an outstanding company, but it no longer has the massive upside it did when it was at an earlier stage of its lifecycle. It's worth pointing out that investors shouldn't put all their hope in a single business. Building wealth in the stock market requires a diversified approach.

4 Undeniable Factors That Could Push Bitcoin to New All-Time Highs This Summer
Some moments in the market don't need dramatic catalysts; they just quietly build up momentum until something gives. For Bitcoin, (CRYPTO: BTC) the stars are aligning with uncanny precision in ways that are likely to have a stunning result. Four macro forces, each with a history of preceding major rallies in the coin, are once again in play. Here's what's unfolding, and why it might matter more than most investors realize. 1. Surging global liquidity When central banks turn on the liquidity tap and ensure there's more money sloshing around the financial system, that new money generally flows toward riskier assets, such as cryptocurrency, as greater liquidity emboldens investors to take riskier bets. Furthermore, safer asset classes would have already been bid up to the point of being fairly expensive from the perspective of institutional allocators. The global M2 money supply hit roughly $108.4 trillion in April, climbing at a pace last seen right before Bitcoin's 2021 breakout to new highs. The coin's performance tends to lag that liquidity gauge by about one quarter. Liquidity waves eventually peak, but the cash they inject never fully drains from the financial system. If part of that additional base money ends up permanently sequestered in Bitcoin wallets -- as happened after prior monetary easing cycles -- holders will enjoy a higher floor even after central banks commence with new tightening cycles. 2. A weaker dollar When the value of the dollar drops, investors often opt to park their capital in stronger assets that are retaining or increasing in value, like, potentially, Bitcoin. The dollar index is down roughly 10% year to date, its worst six-month slide since 1986. Fund managers are the most underweight to the currency in two decades, per a recent survey conducted by Bank of America. For investors, dollar weakness is more than a near-term tailwind for Bitcoin. A softer greenback often coincides with looser financial conditions abroad, fostering new demand from countries where Bitcoin offers a liquid alternative to depreciating local money. That incremental global bid tends to stick around, because reversing currency weakness usually requires policy shifts that take years to perform. 3. Lower Treasury yields Similar to money supply, interest rates significantly influence Bitcoin's price. As yields on government-backed debt like U.S. Treasury bills drop, and along with it, the cost of borrowing passed on to the financial system, capital needs to flow to riskier assets to secure a return. On that note, benchmark 10-year yields on Treasury bonds have fallen from 4.81% in late January to the low 4% range this week. Every notable Bitcoin surge since 2017 has arrived shortly after real or nominal yields were slipping. That matters for the long haul, because each yield dip trains allocators to view the coin as a portfolio diversifier when bonds offer less income. The habit can persist even after rates rise again, much as gold ownership remained commonplace after real yields recovered in the 1980s. The longer Bitcoin proves able to offset low-yield stretches, the more likely it becomes a fixture in strategic asset mixes rather than a tactical punt. 4. The post-halving supply squeeze Bitcoin's supply situation is also very permissive for the coin to make another run at new all-time highs. The 2024 halving cut miner rewards, decreasing daily issuance to about 450 coins. Demand from institutional investors stemming from their offering of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) holding Bitcoin is running far higher than that flow. Plus, the supply shock math compounds with time. Assuming the price rises even a little, Bitcoin miners will eventually sell even fewer coins to cover their operating costs, and at the same time, new issuance keeps shrinking every four years. That structural throttle on float effectively hands long-term holders an ever-growing share of total outstanding supply, increasing their pricing power, as long as they resist the urge to trade around short-term volatility. The lesson here is that long-term-oriented investors should keep buying Bitcoin, and buckle up, because it has a lot of room to run during this summer and beyond.
