Broadcom Q2 Earnings: Revenue, EPS Beat Estimates Driven By 'Robust Demand' For AI Networking, Company Sees Acceleration In AI Revenue Ahead

No one is disputing the utter dominance of content streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). Since the beginning of this year, NFLX stock has gained about 40%, absolutely clowning the Nasdaq Composite index, which is up less than 1% during the same period. Over the past 52 weeks, the security has nearly doubled in value, again putting on a clinic. Still, bullishness is linear — until it's not.
To be crystal clear, Netflix represents a fundamentally stout enterprise. In April, the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/04/44898402/investors-are-buying-netflix-stock-following-q1-earnings-whats-going-on">first-quarter earnings</a> and it was more of the same — in the best possible sense of the phrase. On the top line, the company generated revenue of $10.54 billion, beating the consensus target of $10.52 billion. Further, it posted adjusted earnings per share of $6.61, exceeding analysts' view of $5.74.
Following the earnings disclosure, several Wall Street experts reiterated their bullish ratings, with most raising their 12-month price targets. In a show of force, NFLX stock has now exceeded these upgraded expectations.
At the same time, it's possible to have too much of a good thing. What investors should be aware of is that currently, NFLX stock is on course to print nine consecutive up weeks. An up week is defined as Friday's closing price being higher than Monday's opening price.
Going back to January 2015, there has only been a single time when NFLX stock has printed nine consecutive up weeks. That lone incident resulted in a reversal, with a one-week loss of 2.64%. Granted, this is a sample size of one so investors shouldn't overreact to the data.
Nevertheless, it's also important to consider the underlying psychology. Netflix doesn't pay a dividend, which makes NFLX stock more susceptible to early investors locking in profits. While very few are adamantly bearish on NFLX, the reality is that 10-year Treasuries <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/05/45604132/10-year-yield-tops-455-despite-trumps-eu-tariff-delay-as-bond-market-signals-fiscal-concerns">offer a risk-free yield of 4.55%</a>. There's no reason for investors to ride out volatility with this kind of alternative safe haven.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Elevated Correction Probabilities Pose Challenges For NFLX Stock</h2>
Sample sizes are crucial in statistics, meaning that the above sample size of one requires a huge grain of salt. Still, the practice of streak analysis carries a distinct advantage over traditional methodologies of fundamental and technical analysis: stationarity.
At it core, streaks represent discrete, binary events — investors are looking for streaks of accumulation or distribution, up weeks or down weeks. As a result, streak analysis can be conducted across time because the metric of comparison is static. In colloquial terms, the analysis is speaking the same language.
On the flipside, it's practically impossible to conduct a similar assessment using continuous scalar signals such as stock prices or earnings. These metrics often change dramatically over time and can also shift due to regime changes. As well, administrative factors such as share dilution or buybacks can easily distort the signals, making statistical analysis either overly complex or nonsensical.
Adding to the remarkable win-streak argument for NFLX stock, it should be noted that in the past decade, the security has only witnessed nine occasions where it posted nine up weeks (in any order) across a 10-week period. From a market breadth perspective, NFLX is currently on track to print a "9-1" sequence.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/05150616/NFLX-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-940257" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/05150616/NFLX-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/05150616/NFLX-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/05150616/NFLX-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/05150616/NFLX-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
On six occasions (66.67%), the following week's price action results in downside, with a median loss of 2.73%. Assuming that NFLX stock closes at $1,250, the implication is that it's possible the security could temporarily correct to around $1,216.
Interestingly, last week, NFLX stock printed an 8-2-U sequence. Historically, this pattern carries a following week downside risk of 53.57%. Obviously, the implications of this sequence aren't panning out as expected. Nevertheless, as NFLX stacks more accumulative sessions without correction, the statistical risk of temporary downside rises considerably.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Bold Move For The Agnostic Trader</h2>
As a strong and much-loved company, Netflix doesn't have many doubters. However, all healthy rallies eventually encounter a breather. Emotionally agnostic traders that want to attempt to take advantage of this possibility may consider the 1225/1220 bear put spread expiring June 20.
At time of writing, this transaction involves buying the $1,225 put and simultaneously selling the $1,220 put, for a net debit paid of $250. Should NFLX stock fall through the short strike price at expiration, the maximum reward is also $250, a payout of 100%.
Primarily, this trade is tempting because of the statistical argument laid out above. Whether looking at the landscape from a nine-week consecutive win streak or as a 9-1 sequence, the historically observed performance risk sits at a loss between 2.64% and 2.73%. If NFLX stock closes this week at $1,250, the implication is that the security may land somewhere around $1,216 to $1,217. In either case, that's more than enough to trigger the $1,220 short strike price.
As a final cautionary note, Netflix is a fundamentally robust business and any downside will likely be ephemeral. If a substantive correction materializes prior to expiration, traders should consider exiting the spread early. While this would leave time on the clock (and thus a penalty against the payout), NFLX could easily bounce back in a hurry.
In other words, this trade is about skimming profits from the ebb and flow of a high-powered growth stock; it is not about expressing long-term skepticism of an obviously standout performer.

Athletes Unlimited owns and operates three professional sports leagues under one brand, including basketball, volleyball, and softball. It was founded in 2020 by Jon Patricof and Jonathan Soros, son of billionaire George Soros.
"This is a watershed moment for women's sports and especially for softball. MLB's investment will supercharge our efforts to build the sustainable professional league this sport has long deserved, and sends a powerful message about the value of female athletes and the importance of creating professional opportunities for them," AUSL Commissioner Kim Ng said in the announcement.&nbsp;
The four-team softball league is set to launch its inaugural season on June 7, with Opening Day games taking place in Rosemont, Illinois, and Wichita, Kansas.&nbsp;
Women's sports have been growing in popularity over the last several years, with leagues like the <a href="https://pr.nba.com/wnba-2024-season-highlights/">&nbsp;Women&#8217;s National Basketball Association</a> and <a href="https://www.nwslsoccer.com/news/nwsl-attendance-hits-record-breaking-2-million">National Women's Soccer League </a>reporting significant increases in attendance and viewership.&nbsp;

&#8220;There&#8217;s a tremendous amount of momentum in women&#8217;s sports in general, and softball specifically, and we figured that our partnership with AUSL can create the next great women&#8217;s sport league,&#8221; MLB Deputy Commissioner Noah Garden told <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sports/mlb-diving-into-womens-professional-sport-with-softball-investment-2025-05-29/">Reuters</a>.&#8221;It&#8217;s a massive opportunity for growth in the sport, and there&#8217;s no better time than the present.&#8221;
MLB Commissioner Robert D. Manfred agreed, saying in a statement, "Major League Baseball's investment in the AUSL represents an opportunity to support softball's long-term growth and expand our engagement with these outstanding athletes and their fans. MLB is committed to help build a sustainable and impactful league that drives fandom, serves the softball community, and benefits all female athletes."
The MLB has long supported women's softball from the youth level to the national team, but this partnership takes things to the next level, according to Reuters. "Obviously, financial investments are very important. But there are certain things that money can&#8217;t buy,&#8221; Patricof told the outlet. &#8220;Being able to secure the support, the expertise of MLB is exactly what we would have wanted and hoped for.&#8221;

Venture Capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya has realized many strong returns from investments over the years including Facebook, Slack, the NBA's Golden State Warriors and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/09/17492732/social-capital-ceo-chamath-palihapitiya-plans-spacs-from-ipoa-to-ipoz">many SPAC mergers.</a>
Palihapitiya recently highlighted what he calls his "absolute best call of all time," a tweet about Bitcoin (CRYTPO:BTC).
What Happened: Along with being an early investor in many emerging trends, Palihapitiya was an early supporter of Bitcoin, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/06/32694893/if-you-invested-1-000-in-bitcoin-when-chamath-palihapitiya-said-to-allocate-1-heres-the-st">Benzinga previously shared.</a>
The venture capitalist said he bought $1 million in Bitcoin in 2012 after a recommendation from a friend. He said he would later add to that investment after learning more about the cryptocurrency.
A study of cryptocurrency and realizing its potential long-term benefits led Palihapitiya to write an op-ed in Bloomberg on May 30, 2013.
The original&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2013-05-30/bitcoin-the-perfect-schmuck-insurance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">piece&nbsp;</a>from Palihapitiya shared many catalysts for Bitcoin and laid out the investment thesis.
"The opportunity here is to think constructively about a world in which money flows are more transparent (Bitcoin), easy (Bitcoin), cheap (Bitcoin) and secure (Bitcoin)."
Palihapitiya cited the 2008 financial crisis and a lack of trust in the sector since the collapse of companies like Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns.
"The point is that this fundamental trust no longer exists; in its place, rises Bitcoin."
At the time, Palihapitiya said Bitcoin was being used to avoid high banking fees, paying for goods and services and as a currency in areas around the world.
"Bitcoin provides a safe way for anyone, anywhere to send, receive or store his or her money."
Palihapitiya said the same couldn't be said for traditional banks where large banks were investing the deposits in derivatives, international banks could seize the money and the currency could be devalued by a government.
"If Bitcoin grows into something bigger – a useful reserve currency, then watch out: Its value will far exceed $400,000. I personally think that Bitcoin is already superior to gold."
The investor recommended allocating 1% of assets into Bitcoin at the time.
Palihapitiya would double down on Bitcoin a year later with a Sept. 1, 2013 tweet.
"My prediction is that BTC will trade thru $200 before the end of this year. #BuyBTC," Palihapitiya tweeted.
The tweet came when Bitcoin was under $200. In a reply to a social media user, Palihapitiya also said he thought BTC would "trade to more than $100,000 per coin in my lifetime."
"No easier way to make $1B…I'm long forever."
Palihapitiya recently <a href="https://x.com/chamath/status/1929583725513212038">shared </a>this nearly 12-year-old tweet on X.
"This was the absolute best call of all time. Nothing will come close to this."
That's a pretty impressive statement given Palihapitiya's past investment success.

Investing $1,000 in BTC: Investors who were fortunate enough to follow Palihapitiya on social media and follow his advice are doing quite well assuming they still are holding their Bitcoin.
Bitcoin traded at $138.34 on Sept. 1, 2013. A $1,000 investment that day could have bought 7.23 BTC.
Fast-forward to today, and Bitcoin trades at $104,101.00, surpassing Palihapitiya&#8217;s $100K prediction.
The $1,000 investment would be worth $752,650.23 today, representing a return of +75,165.0%.
