Netflix (NFLX) stock soared to new heights on Monday as the streaming giant continued to make headlines with its latest announcements. Two major events captured the attention of investors and consumers alike – a record-breaking boxing match featuring Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, and an upcoming NFL game halftime performance by the one and only Beyonce.
The livestreamed boxing match that took place on Friday drew in a staggering 60 million households worldwide. The main event between boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTube sensation Jake Paul reached a peak of 65 million concurrent views, making it one of the most-watched sporting events in recent memory. The co-main event featuring Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor also drew a substantial audience of around 50 million households. The fights, held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, showcased the immense popularity of live sports content on the Netflix platform.
Despite the success of the event, Netflix faced some technical difficulties, with reports of over half a million users experiencing streaming issues during the live broadcast. The company assured customers that they were working to resolve these issues and improve the overall viewing experience for future events.
In addition to the boxing match, Netflix also made headlines with the announcement of Beyonce’s halftime performance at the upcoming Christmas Day NFL game between the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens. Beyonce, known for her electrifying performances and genre-defying music, will be showcasing songs from her latest album “Cowboy Carter” in what promises to be a memorable show.
The NFL games scheduled for Christmas Day will feature the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Kansas City Chiefs in the early afternoon, followed by the Baltimore Ravens facing off against the Houston Texans later in the day. With Beyonce’s halftime performance adding an extra element of excitement to the day’s festivities, fans are eagerly anticipating the action on the field and the entertainment on the sidelines.
Following these announcements, Netflix stock experienced a significant boost, closing at $847.05 on Monday, representing a 2.8% increase for the day. The stock hit a new record high of $848.45 earlier in the trading session, signaling strong investor confidence in the company’s future prospects.
Netflix’s success in capturing a diverse audience with its mix of sports, entertainment, and original content has helped solidify its position as a leader in the streaming industry. The company’s inclusion in prestigious lists such as the IBD 50 and the Big Cap 20 underscores its status as a top performer in the stock market and a favorite among investors looking for growth opportunities.
As Netflix continues to innovate and expand its content offerings, the company is poised to attract even more viewers and solidify its position as a dominant force in the entertainment industry. With influential figures like Mike Tyson and Beyonce lending their star power to the platform, Netflix is well-positioned to capitalize on its momentum and deliver value to both shareholders and consumers alike.
