The unofficial start of the third-quarter reporting season for megacap tech stocks kicks off Thursday with results from Netflix . The stakes are high following a rapid year-to-date jump in the media streamer's shares. Netflix shares have powered to all-time highs in recent weeks, surging 44% in 2024, twice the return on the S & P 500.
Wells Fargo analyst Steven Cahall also believes that next year's estimates need to move up to support Netflix's high valuation and warned investors to brace for a "less favorable" near-term backdrop.
