Red light or green light? Here’s why you should move on netflix (NFLX)
july 23, 2025
Whether it’s to introduce myself to some new content, or to revisit all time childhood favorites, Netflix is where I always go for that. My personal favorite show however, is Stranger Things, which I cannot wait for the new season to come out. Stranger Things took up the entirety of my 2022 summer, and it was worth every minute of the never-ending episodes. Although the song, “Running Up that Hill” definitely started to annoy me at some point, the show has always held a place in my heart, even three years later. Anyways, back to the point, let’s talk about why you should investing in Netflix (NFLX) now.
First off, by a wide margin, Netflix is without a doubt the number one streaming service currently, as it’s home to some of the biggest shows and movies, like Happy Gilmore, which I’m dying to see the sequel of. It’s a great service for every watcher and for every genre. What doesn’t Netflix have? The biggest show right now, Squid Game released two seasons just this year, meaning more to come from Netflix. From season one alone, Netflix made an amazing $900 million. With the recent release of Squid Game 2 and 3, Netflix is on a tear right now, that doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.
Second, the customers of Netflix are loyal, meaning subscriptions will stay paid, which will keep Netflix in balance as is. Just the fact that Netflix is at the top of the streaming game is a huge advantage for them and for investors, even though it means there’s little-no room for error. However, the rollout for Netflix has been amazing, and good enough to have to worry about the room for error. Netflix’s revenue also increased by 16% in Q2, a significant gain for the service. Although the share price had dropped about 5% just yesterday, I would plan to hold onto Netflix long-term, meaning it’ll have time to bounce back with the releases of Happy Gilmore 2 and Stranger Things and many more to come this year alone. I’m not too worried about the slight drop in price, and you shouldn’t be either.
To sum up everything that has been said, you should be investing in Netflix (NFLX) because it’s the unanimous number one, and it’s going to stay like that for a while. With all of its recent and future releases in this year alone, it’s a great stock to hold onto for the course of this year. Just because there was a slight slip up yesterday doesn’t mean you should worry and back out. All it takes is the patience and the ability to be able to wait until good things start happening, which is what I’d be willing to do. Like they do in Squid Game, go when it’s green light, don’t wait for the next red light to wait for the next green light.
