Netflix growth slowing; Warner deal key

Gene Munster believes Netflix's post-earnings reaction reflects a slowing organic growth trajectory: calendar 2026 revenue growth guidance is 12-14% versus 18% just reported, and full-year 2025 subscriber additions were about 24 million versus 41 million in 2024. The Warner Bros. Discovery deal is a major lever that could reaccelerate growth, but closing may be 8-14 months away, so the setup requires patience.

Own tech leaders that outgrow expectations

Gene Munster says tech sits in the risk category and can be pressured by geopolitical or Japanese bond-market volatility, but the right long-term playbook over the last 25 years has been to own technology companies that grow faster than expectations.

AI still early; models improving fast

Gene Munster continues to believe AI is much earlier than people realize. He points to Anthropic's Claude Code as a top-five step-function moment because it lets non-technical people build applications, and he argues the underlying model utility is improving exponentially, which undercuts the narrative that AI lacks a great use case.

Hold cash for future volatility

Douglas Boneparth recommends rebalancing after a hot 2025, taking some risk off, returning to target allocations, and holding cash/dry powder so investors can buy future volatility and drawdowns rather than being forced to sell.

Buy dips in indices and Mag Seven

Douglas Boneparth favors buying dips: investors can nibble on a 2% decline but should keep dry powder for 5-10% or worse drawdowns. He would focus on major indices and high-volatility long-term names such as the Magnificent Seven, or use broad vehicles like the S&P 500 and total US market.
