1. WWE BUYOUT?


WWE is looking to sell itself for $9B - which is a lofty premium to today's valuation (roughly $6.5B).

Although Netflix isn't seen as a likely buyer - it would enable them to enter the sports arena (although with sports entertainment - still a step in that direction!). They are seen as a large strategic potential buyer here (along with Disney).

 


 

2. EVERYDAY I'M NOT SHUFFLING

Netflix has removed the shuffle feature (Surprise Me).

Although the concept of this feature was interesting (let Netflix pick a random show/movie for you to consume if you're insure what to watch), the adoption rate for this feature was non-existent. Viewers didn't care for it, and as a result it's no longer on the platform.

 


 

3. ANALYST CHANGES
 

There were no new analyst changes to report this week for Netflix.

 


 

 


 

THAT'S IT FOR THIS WEEK.

We look forward to spending a few minutes with you next Sunday for some new Netflix news!
