1. Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX)

Netflix, Inc. is an entertainment services provider. It provides games, television (TV) series, feature films, and documentaries in different languages and genres. The company enables members to receive streaming content through digital video players, mobile devices, TVs, and TV set-top boxes.

The firm is expected to announce its Q1 earnings later today. Based on 35 different analysts’ estimates, Netflix is anticipated to grow its revenue by 12.14% year-over-year. Analysts also project EPS growth of 8.80% for the quarter. With the combined contribution of popular returning franchises and original hits, the company’s subscriber engagement remained strong during the quarter.

The firm’s NFL games were a success as the games received 65 million viewers in the U.S. At the start of this month, Amazon announced joining NFLX in airing NFL games on Christmas. The league has not yet announced the schedule for the 2025 season, as it is likely to be released in May. However, sports streaming in the US is becoming a powerful commodity for streaming giants and Netflix is positioning itself well to be a major stakeholder in this area.

According to a recent Bloomberg report, the streaming media giant has now started testing new search technology. The OpenAI-powered search engine allows users to search for shows based on specific terms, including the customer’s mood. The new search engine is currently available in New Zealand and Australia on iOS devices. However, it is anticipated to launch in several markets soon, including the United States.

While we acknowledge the potential of NFLX as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that has gone up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks have lost around 25%. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than NFLX but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
