Netflix is losing the daily attention war to free platforms like TikTok and YouTube; its ad sales execution is poor (Hulu will generate more ad revenue on a fraction of the subscriber base). Excluding a one-time termination fee, revenue grew only 6% in H1 2026, and net income is plateauing, making the stock unattractive.
Grand Theft Auto VI preorders are a major catalyst for Take-Two Interactive, with launch probability over 90%. The stock will run up into and through launch. Any post-launch pullback is a buying opportunity because over 80% of revenue is recurring, making this a stronger, longer cycle than prior GTA cycles.
