Intel, D-Wave Quantum, Adobe, Nvidia, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will likely face <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44285277/trump-buys-tesla-model-s-plaid-gary-black-calls-endorsement-potentially-huge-says-it-could-drive-1-7">near-term delivery challenges</a> before experiencing significant growth in 2026, according to Gene Munster, Managing Partner at Deepwater Asset Management.
What Happened: Munster wrote on X Wednesday that CEO Elon Musk &#8220;is bullish on Tesla&#8217;s output expansion, expecting it to double in the next couple of years.&#8221; However, Munster forecasts Tesla deliveries will decline 5% in 2025 before surging 40% in 2026.
This prediction comes as Musk announced Tesla&#8217;s commitment to doubling U.S. vehicle production within two years &#8220;in support of the policies of President Donald Trump&#8221; and to &#8220;demonstrate our confidence in the future of the United States.&#8221;
The expansion timeline aligns with previous company statements. Tesla mentioned plans to increase capacity by 60% this year during its last earnings report, which Munster notes implies &#8220;an additional 25% capacity growth in 2026.&#8221;
Munster acknowledged this expansion would be &#8220;negative for near-term cash flow and positive for long-term margins.&#8221; The key question, he added, is &#8220;will consumers buy that increased capacity?&#8221;

Why It Matters: Tesla faces significant headwinds. According to S&amp;P Global Mobility data, the company&#8217;s U.S. registrations dropped 11% in January while competitors saw a 44% increase. European registrations fell by more than 50% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44283118/tesla-loses-ground-in-us-ev-market-while-rivals-accelerate-ahead-in-january-report">year-over-year</a>.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, despite maintaining a bullish outlook on Tesla, expressed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44268904/elon-musks-current-leadership-situation-is-not-sustainable-for-shareholders-says-tesla-bull-needs-to-strike-a-balance-with-doge">concerns about Musk&#8217;s divided attention</a> between Tesla and his role in Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency. Ives stated that the &#8220;current leadership situation is not sustainable for Tesla shareholders.&#8221;
Tesla&#8217;s stock has declined over 50% from recent highs, with protests emerging in the U.S. and Europe criticizing Musk&#8217;s political activities. The company&#8217;s first-quarter earnings report in April may provide crucial insights into whether it can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44283118/tesla-loses-ground-in-us-ev-market-while-rivals-accelerate-ahead-in-january-report">reverse these negative trends</a>.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.71 trillion, following an increase of 0.68% in the last 24 hours.
Major stock averages recuperated on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.49% to close at 5,599.30. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 1.22%, ending at 17,648.45. Conversely, the Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded the third straight losing day of the week, closing 0.20% lower at 41,350.93.

While the likelihood of rate cuts appeared slim at the March and May meetings, traders have priced in a 68% chance of a 25 basis point rate drop in June, <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">according </a>to the CME FedWatch tool.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin Rise, Ethereum Trades Flat On Cooler-Than-Expected Inflation: Top Analyst Anticipates BTC's Bullish Breakout Toward $91,000

Joey Bosa may be suiting up for a new NFL team this season, but off the field, he's already built the kind of empire that could outlast any football career.
A New Jersey, A New Chapter
Earlier this week, it was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6184382/2025/03/11/joey-bosa-free-agency-signing-bills/">reported</a> that Bosa has agreed to a one-year, $12.6 million deal with the Buffalo Bills, edging out strong interest from both the San Francisco 49ers—home to his brother Nick Bosa—and the Miami Dolphins, where his father once played.
At 29, the four-time Pro Bowler is looking to bounce back from recent injuries that limited his snap count, but his off-field game might be even more impressive.

Inside The $5.85 Million Florida Fortress
Following his massive five-year, $135 million contract extension with the Chargers in 2020, Bosa purchased a stunning modern waterfront mansion in his hometown of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/business/real-estate/story/2021-10-26/chargers-star-joey-bosa-buys-house-on-the-water-in-hometown-fort-lauderdale">for</a> $5.85 million.
Located just a few miles from his alma mater, St. Thomas Aquinas High School, where he earned recognition as a four-star football recruit, this property was designed by architecture firm KoDA Miami.
According <a href="https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2401-Solar-Plaza-Dr-Fort-Lauderdale-FL-33301/103036576_zpid/">to</a> Zillow, this luxurious single-family home was built in 2019. Spanning 5,482 square feet, it features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms (6 full and one half). The property sits on a 7,501 sqft lot, offering bayfront and lakefront views with unrestricted saltwater access.
The home boasts high-end amenities, including a wet bar, elevator, central vacuum system, walk-in closets, a media room, and a dedicated office space. The master bedroom is upstairs, while at least one bedroom is on the ground level. The modern kitchen includes premium appliances such as a dishwasher, dryer, garbage disposal, range/oven, refrigerator, trash compactor, and washer.
Additional highlights include a three-car garage, in-ground pool, and stucco/cement exterior. The home is equipped with forced air, electric, and gas heating, as well as central cooling. Security features include a gated and guarded community.
Beyond The Blitz: Real Estate And Startups
But Bosa's investments don't stop at Florida's waterfront. He has <a href="https://sports.hindipa.com/joey-bosa-net-worth-endorsements/#Current_NFL_Contract_and_Salary_in_2025">reportedly</a> diversified into luxury real estate in California also and put money into tech startups—particularly those focused on sports performance and athlete wellness. Previously, it was reported that he's also exploring sports media ventures, hinting at a possible post-NFL career behind the camera.
Millionaire Moves: Cars, Travel, And Philanthropy
Bosa's lifestyle is as elevated as his pass-rushing skills. His car collection reportedly includes a Lamborghini Urus, Ferrari 488, and a custom Jeep Wrangler. When he's not on the field or managing his portfolio, he's often spotted traveling across Europe or deep-sea fishing—his favorite off-season escape.
Off the field, Bosa is also deeply involved in philanthropy. He supports the American Cancer Society and has been an advocate for childhood cancer awareness through his work with More Than 4 Athletics and the NFL's Crucial Catch campaign.

Joey Bosa Reportedly Signed A $12.6M Deal With The Bills — But His Real Power Play Might Be The $5.85M Florida Mansion And A Portfolio Built For Life After The NFL

On Wednesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>) and Rocket Lab USA Inc. (NCM: RKLB).
The Tempus AI Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) acquired 29,845 shares of Tempus AI, valued at approximately $1.36 million, based on the closing price of $45.50. This purchase aligns with Ark&#8217;s ongoing strategy to bolster its position in innovative technology sectors. Tempus AI recently announced its acquisition of Deep 6 AI, a move expected to enhance its network with over 750 provider site locations and access to more than 30 million patients. This acquisition is anticipated to strengthen Tempus AI&#8217;s market presence and capabilities.
Furthermore, Tempus AI&#8217;s recent earnings report revealed a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43927560/tempus-ai-q4-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-strong-guidance-shares-move-lower">revenue miss but an earnings-per-share beat</a>, coupled with strong future guidance. The strategic acquisition of Deep 6 AI and the positive earnings outlook underscore Tempus AI&#8217;s potential for growth, making it an attractive investment.
Wood has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44267113/ark-invests-strategic-moves-tempus-ai-block-inc-and-draftkings-inc-in-focus">loading up on Tempus AI stock</a> in recent days. On Tuesday, Ark purchased $4.29 million worth of stock, while on Monday, amid the tech meltdown, the firm had scooped up stock worth $13.23 million.

This sale comes amid Rocket Lab&#8217;s recent announcement of being selected by Airbus SE to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44275713/why-rocket-lab-stock-is-gaining-today">supply solar panels</a> for 100 OneWeb Low Earth Orbit satellites, a development that has positively impacted Rocket Lab&#8217;s stock price.
Additionally, Rocket Lab recently inked a non-binding term sheet to acquire a controlling stake in Mynaric AG for $75 million, with an additional earn-out tied to future revenue targets. This acquisition aims to enhance Rocket Lab&#8217;s satellite technology capabilities, further solidifying its position in the aerospace sector.

What Happened: Johnson claimed that the Democrats were responsible for the looming government shutdown. Ocasio-Cortez countered by emphasizing that Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. 
She stated, &#8220;If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats.&#8221; Her comments came after Johnson&#8217;s assertion that Senate Democrats must decide whether to keep the government funded or join House Democrats in shutting it down.

Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s remarks highlight the political tension surrounding the government funding issue. The House recently passed a bill to prevent a shutdown through September 30, which now awaits Senate approval. The bill maintains previous spending levels, increases military funding by $6 billion, and reduces overall expenditures slightly.
Senate Democrats plan to block the Republicans&#8217; government funding bill, arguing it was drafted without their input and includes major cuts to non-defense programs, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/12/shutdown-government-senate-democrats/">reported</a> The Washington Post.
With a shutdown looming in days, Democrats seek a temporary funding measure through April 11, while Republicans push for a longer-term solution through September. Some Democrats fear a shutdown could give President Donald Trump more control over government spending, while others believe it's an opportunity to exert leverage. The bill lacks enough Democratic support to clear a filibuster, leaving the possibility of last-minute negotiations to avoid a shutdown.

Why It Matters: The ongoing debate over government funding has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/03/44265575/house-passes-bill-to-avert-government-shutdown-now-its-heading-to-the-senate">significant implications</a> for federal operations and political dynamics. The House&#8217;s passage of a funding bill aims to avert a shutdown, but it requires Senate approval. The bill&#8217;s provisions include increased military funding and cuts to certain projects, which could influence bipartisan support. 
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump&#8216;s recent tariff strategies have been criticized as potential distractions from the looming shutdown. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44134694/trumps-tariff-tactics-could-be-a-strategic-distraction-from-looming-government-shutdown-says-us-policy-strategist-he-may-be-seeking-shelter-from-other-stories">Greg Valliere</a>, a U.S. policy strategist, suggested that these tactics might be an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44134694/trumps-tariff-tactics-could-be-a-strategic-distraction-from-looming-government-shutdown-says-us-policy-strategist-he-may-be-seeking-shelter-from-other-stories">attempt to divert attention</a> from other issues.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Public Storage</h2>
On Feb. 24, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting FFO of $4.21, compared to the consensus estimate of $4.24, and revenues of $1.10 billion, compared to the consensus of $1.174 billion, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43925752/public-storage-q4-2024-ffo-4-21-misses-4-24-estimate-sales-1-100-miss-1-174b-estimate">Benzinga</a>.
"Our fourth quarter performance reflected broad operational stabilization across the portfolio," said CEO Joe Russell. "In the new year, we are inspired by the strength of the Los Angeles community in response to the fires and are fully supporting impacted customers and team members. Due to the associated pricing restrictions, our guidance anticipates an approximate $0.23 per share impact to Core FFO in 2025 while portfolio operations outside of Los Angeles continue to improve."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Public Storage Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Public Storage dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $31,414, which is around 100 shares at $313.98 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (3.82% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0382 = $31,414 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.

For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Public Storage stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 100 shares of stock.&nbsp;

In an <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-social-securitys-former-head-is-worried-it-could-miss-payments-to-seniors-190352668.html">interview</a> with Yahoo Finance, O'Malley advised current beneficiaries to consider setting aside some extra money in case payments are delayed.
"If I were a beneficiary, I'd be setting aside some money right now," O'Malley said. His warning comes as the SSA faces significant staffing cuts and operational challenges under changes introduced by the Trump administration.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Staffing Cuts and Leadership Changes at SSA</h2>
The SSA recently announced plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44153127/will-social-securitys-restructuring-impact-your-monthly-benefits-heres-what-to-know">reduce its workforce</a> to about 50,000 employees — down from about 57,000 today and 66,000 10 years ago — through cash buyouts and early retirement offers. The agency said these cuts would target "non-mission critical" positions, but O'Malley and other experts have raised concerns about how the reduction will affect the agency's ability to manage benefits and respond to system failures.
The Department of Government Efficiency, led by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44230403/elon-musk-blames-major-cyberattack-for-x-outage-hints-at-nation-backed-threat">Elon Musk</a> under the Trump administration, has been focused on cutting costs at federal agencies. According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/doge-actions-may-cause-social-security-benefit-interruption-ex-agency-head.html">CNBC</a>, the resulting staffing reductions have already caused disruptions, with two major IT outages affecting Social Security operations last year.
The SSA's computer systems, which run on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43957909/social-security-in-uncertain-times-what-the-resignation-of-michelle-king-and-musks-doge-data-push-could-mean-for-beneficiaries-2">COBOL</a>, a decades-old programming language, require experienced staff to maintain them. Many of the agency's tech employees are approaching retirement age, raising fears that a loss of experienced personnel could increase the risk of system failures and payment delays.
Trending: Dogecoin millionaires are increasing –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dogecoin-millionaires"> investors with $1M+ in DOGE revealed!</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could Social Security Miss Payments?</h2>
Social Security has never missed a payment since the program began issuing monthly benefits over 80 years ago. However, O'Malley has said the current staffing cuts and IT challenges could lead to missed or delayed payments within the next 30 to 90 days.
"Ultimately, you're going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits," O'Malley told CNBC. He pointed out that SSA's outdated IT infrastructure requires regular updates to adjust for cost-of-living increases and other program changes — a process that depends heavily on experienced staff.
Marcela Escobar-Alava, the SSA's former chief information officer who resigned in January, echoed O'Malley's concerns. She said that even minor adjustments to benefit calculations require extensive testing to avoid system-wide failures. "Stuff will fail," she told Yahoo Finance. "And it's going to take time to recover. And, in some cases, if you don't have the talent, it may take days if not weeks."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Beneficiaries Should Know</h2>
If payment interruptions do occur, the impact could be significant. Social Security is a critical source of income for many Americans — about 21% of elderly recipients rely on the program for 90% or more of their household income, <a href="https://www2.census.gov/library/working-papers/2024/adrm/ces/CES-WP-24-32.pdf">according</a> to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Experts advise beneficiaries to prepare for potential delays by setting aside extra funds if possible. While Social Security payments are automated, changes to program rules or adjustments for cost-of-living increases require staff intervention. If staffing shortages delay these updates, it could disrupt payments.
Additionally, the SSA's ability to process new claims or respond to customer service inquiries may be affected. Processing times for disability applications, which currently average over six months, <a href="https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/downsizing-staff-will-make-it-harder-receive-social-security-payments">according</a> to the Urban Institute, could grow even longer under the staffing cuts.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Long-Term Impacts</h2>
Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works, a group that advocates for protecting Social Security, told Yahoo Finance that the planned staff reductions would "cripple" the agency's ability to function. She also expressed doubt that technological solutions like artificial intelligence could adequately replace human staff for tasks such as claim processing and customer service.
"The American public needs to understand that one of their major social safety nets is in dire jeopardy," Jill Hornick, an official at the American Federation of Government Employees union, told CNBC.
Despite these warnings, the SSA has not publicly addressed the risk of missed payments. However, O'Malley remains convinced that beneficiaries should prepare for potential delays. "I believe you will see that within the next 30 to 90 days," he said.

In a post on X, Cardone argued that tariffs are not a tax on consumers but rather an equalizer for global trade. His comments challenge the widely held belief that tariffs directly drive up prices for American consumers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cardone's View on Tariffs and Consumer Spending</h2>
In his <a href="https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1897084964371628423">post</a> on X, Cardone wrote, "A tariff is NOT a consumer tax, it is an equalizer for global trade. Tariffs do not make goods and services more expensive — only the consumer can do that."

</ul>
Cardone shared his perspective during an interview with NBC's affiliate in San Jose, California, where he explained that tariffs only affect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43667632/inflation-rises-in-january-housing-costs-up-adding-to-consumers-2025-concerns">consumer costs</a> if people continue to purchase goods and services despite price increases. Using an example of a rubber duck imported from China, Cardone illustrated how tariffs could lead to higher prices — but only if consumers choose to continue buying the product.
"Well, just understand that the tariff is not imposed on you if you don&#8217;t buy the goods and services," Cardone told NBC. He said if China sends the U.S. a rubber duck that costs the consumer a dollar, they're going to buy it because it's inexpensive. But if Trump imposes a $99 tariff on that duck, raising the price for consumers, the consumer can choose not to buy it. "At which point somebody here would start building rubber ducks for a cheaper price."
Cardone also noted the imbalance in global trade policies, highlighting how U.S. exports often face steep tariffs abroad. He shared an example of Mercedes-Benz, which can ship cars to the U.S. without facing tariffs, while American vehicles like the Ford F-150 encounter high tariffs in European markets. Cardone argued that tariffs are a way to "level the playing field" in global trade.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Economists See Tariffs Differently</h2>
While Cardone presents tariffs as a tool to balance trade, many economists view them as harmful to the U.S. economy. According to CNBC, Moody's Chief Economist Mark Zandi described tariffs as a "lose-lose" for American jobs and industry.
"There are no winners here in the trade war we're seemingly being engulfed in," Zandi said.
The Trump administration has pursued broad <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43427091/as-trump-imposes-tariffs-on-americas-3-largest-trading-partners-this-macro-strategist-calls-the-policy-a-tool-to-transition-us-to-a-more-sustainable-future-amid-grotesque-money-printing">tariffs on trading partners</a>, including China, Canada, and Mexico, aiming to protect domestic industries. However, economists argue that tariffs increase production costs, which can lead to higher consumer prices and job losses in sectors that rely on imported materials.
Lydia Cox, an assistant economics professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, <a href="https://economics.princeton.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/cox_steel_20220601.pdf">wrote</a> that tariffs have "collateral damage" beyond their intended targets. For example, steel tariffs imposed during Trump's first term raised domestic steel prices by about 2% but also increased costs for industries that rely on steel, such as automobile manufacturing and construction.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bigger Economic Picture</h2>
The broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/trumps-tarrifs-impact-on-us-dollar-and-currency-trading">impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy</a> remains mixed. While some targeted industries, such as steel production, have benefited from protectionist policies, other sectors have faced higher costs and retaliatory tariffs from trading partners.
Cardone's argument suggests that consumer behavior plays a key role in the outcome of tariff policies. If consumers shift their spending habits or domestic producers step in to replace imported goods, tariffs could create opportunities for U.S.-based businesses.
However, economists caution that the long-term effects of tariffs — including potential trade wars and increased production costs — may outweigh any short-term benefits.
Cardone's take challenges the conventional wisdom on tariffs, sparking a broader conversation about how global trade policies and consumer choices intersect in shaping the economy.

Steaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) could add another sports league to its growing lineup of sports content that includes NFL games, women's soccer and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42628116/netflix-adds-womens-world-cup-media-rights-from-football-to-futbol-streamer-all-in-on-live-sports">World Wrestling Entertainment.</a>
What Happened: Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42492251/netflix-ceo-says-paul-tyson-fight-really-phenomenal-strong-demand-for-nfl-game-advertising">saw huge demand </a>with a boxing card featuring Mike Tyson and Jake Paul last year and for its first-ever NFL games on Christmas Day.
In January, Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42827316/netflix-brings-wwe-monday-night-raw-to-streaming-starting-january-6">added WWE matches </a>to its content of live sports.
Another sport could be in the mix with Netflix among the interested media outlets in getting the rights to UFC fights, which like WWE is also owned by TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>).
UFC has had an exclusive rights deal with ESPN, a unit of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), since 2019.
Disney has an exclusive negotiating window with the UFC through April for the rights that kick in after the 2025 year. With the UFC looking for around double what ESPN is currently paying and recent technical issues for a UFC fight, the negotiating window could turn tense and leave things open for other interested parties.
Sources said that UFC management, including Dana White, were not happy with ESPN's handling of UFC 313 which suffered from streaming issues, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/09/sports/tko-brass-furious-with-espn-after-ufc-313-streaming-issues/">reported </a>by the New York Post.
The UFC is looking for $1 billion or more annually in a new rights deal according to a report from <a href="https://www.sportspro.com/news/ufc-broadcast-media-rights-espn-amazon-netflix-wbd-tko-january-2025/">SportsPro</a>.
Along with Disney's interest in renewing the rights, other interested parties named in the report include Netflix, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>).

Why It's Important: With ESPN potentially out of the picture, Netflix could emerge as a favorite given its strong showing of the boxing match last year and its deal with TKO-owned WWE.
While the Paul and Tyson fight also saw technical glitches, the number of people watching and Netflix's fix were viewed as positives for the overall demand and strength of Netflix's platform.
The UFC remains a powerhouse with pay-per-view and streaming exclusive fights on ESPN+. Netflix would likely get rights to offer some fights for free to its existing streaming subscribers while other fights would remain pay-per-view only.
Netflix also recently announced that it will stream a rematch of a boxing match between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, which was part of the Tyson and Paul boxing card. A unanimous decision win for Taylor proved to be controversial in what Netflix called the "most-watched professional women's sports even in U.S. history."
The third match between the two boxers will stream live on Netflix on July 11, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/katie-taylor-amanda-serrano-rematch-netflix-last-year-controversial-bout-1236328982/">Variety</a>. Netflix said the fight taking place at Madison Square Garden will be an all-women boxing card and stream for free to existing Netflix subscribers worldwide.
With or without the UFC, Netflix continues to be mentioned as a potential bidder on many sports rights and continues to add to its library of live and library sports content, a move that could boost subscribers and help with churn.
Price Action: TKO Group Holdings stock trades at $147.27 versus a 52-week trading range of $79.32 to $179.09. The stock is up 3.2% year-to-date in 2025 and up 81.2% over the last year.
Netflix stock trades at $919.68 versus a 52-week trading range of $542.01 to $1,064.50. The stock is up 3.7% year-to-date in 2025 and up 50.5% over the last year.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance.
