🐲 The Roaring FAANG. Five Big Tech Stocks That Move The MarketFAANG is an acronym that stands for five major, highly successful U.S. tech companies: Meta (formerly Facebook), Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google.
FAANG stocks' performance has a substantial effect on the overall market and comprises 15% of the S&P500 Index SP:SPX .
If you follow the financial or business news, you may have seen or heard the term FAANG thrown around. No, it's not a misspelling or an animal's roar. It's an acronym that stands for five big companies — some might say the big companies — in the high-tech industry.
The FAANG quintet consists of Meta (formerly Facebook), Amazon , Apple, Netflix and Google (Alphabet as an official corporate name).
These corporations — all American, but with a global presence — are not only household names, they're financial behemoths. Their combined market capitalization is over $4 trillion. The blue-chip stocks of the tech sector, they collectively make up 15% of the Standard & Poor's 500 SP:SPX (an index of the largest public companies in the US). So they represent not only one of the US' most significant industries, but a sizable chunk of the US stock market itself.
The origins of FAANG
FAANG actually began as FANG. The origin of the acronym has been attributed to Jim Cramer, the financial TV host and co-founder of TheStreet.com. Known for his slangy abbreviations and catchy phrases, Cramer coined the term in 2013 to represent four tech stocks with outsized market appreciation. Cramer believed that these companies belonged together because they are all high-growth stocks that share the common threads of digitization and the web.
Cramer's original term was just FANG — it didn't initially include Apple. The company joined the ranks in 2017, reflecting the growth of internet services (iCloud, Apple Music, Apple Pay) to its revenues.
So the acronym became FAANG, and it's remained so.
The five stocks of FAANG
They need no introduction: The five stocks of FAANG are all familiar brands, whose products and services permeate our lives daily. They are also American corporate success stories — each has seen its stock shares experience triple-digit growth since 2015, and year-to-year as well.
👉 Meta ( NASDAQ:META ) is the social media maestro, owner of Instagram, WhatsApp, and its Facebook website. It has returned more than 190% over the past 12 months, and it is a # 1 over all S&P500 Index components with that amazing result.
👉 Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL ), the sole product manufacturer of the group, with more than 36% yearly performance.
👉 Amazon ( NASDAQ:AMZN ), the world's largest e-store, has returned more than 65% over the past 12 months.
👉 Netflix ( NASDAQ:NFLX ), the superpower of streaming, has returned 44% TTM.
👉 Google — parent company Alphabet ( NASDAQ:GOOG , NASDAQ:GOOGL ) — has a name synonymous with internet searches and services. Its GOOG shares have increased by more than 43% in 12 months.
Just to put these numbers in context: the S&P 500 has grown 17% over the past 12 months. So FAANG stocks have been at the forefront , significantly outperforming the broad market.

Netflix
Netflix - Gap fill? NFLX would have to 3X to return to Highs?Netflix - NFLX - Can it regain its previous stock price? Will its ads subscription model make it more competitive? Will its content win more viewers over? Who knows? What we do know is that price is filling the gaps from the previous decline. I am not counting NTFLX out. Patience pays off.

Netflix Descending Triangle BreakoutThank you everybody for dropping in on this trade idea setup in Netflix. Bullish descending triangle continuation pattern developing here looking like it's about to burst for next week or maybe this Friday as long as the market keeps going up. I want to make sure that I'm getting into these mega cap stocks because that seems to be the only thing that's really on an uptrend and making plays that are multi day uptrends. Another stock I'm looking at is Amazon because it seems to be basing out but I want to wait a little bit until after I get into Netflix before I jump into any other trades since I have a good amount of position size already allocated in my entire portfolio.
NFLX - Netflix / Idea INetflix
12M: → Bullish close but truely bullish above 701
→ the grey zone being at → 633 – 585 (Fib ext.)

3M: slightly less progress because of 701 Ath close by – traders will think about double top from here on
→ 701 showdown likely
Monthly: Bullish close but yet a bit hesitation going on here. Probably some profit taking going on.
3D: Ascending Triangle in play like in many other stocks – waiting game until a break occurs

NETFLIX Bullish break-out eyeing $725.00Netflix (NFLX) has established trading above the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), turning it into a Support following the rebound since May 01. With the long-term pattern since June 14 2022 being a Channel Up, similar bullish break-outs above the 1D MA50 (blue circles) have been the start of Bullish Legs.
Even the 1D RSI has been very consistent at identifying bottoms. The last two Bullish Legs topped after the price hit the 1.786 Fibonacci extension level. As a result, we remain bullish on NFLX, targeting $725.0 (the 1.786 Fibonacci).

NFLX: Bullish dip?Friday was nasty for big tech. 10% drops in NFLX and NVDA got some people to fear for the worst. Is the market going to crash 90% now? Maybe not yet. Right now the price only retraced to 0.764 fib. I would expect a little more weakness next week and then a relief rally. Price should come down to about .618 fib retracement area where there is also some market structure support and take off from there. Weekly RSI is showing some bullish divergence, but not confirmed yet. As long as price doesn't fall through market structure supports and below $344, bull case is still on track to 2026 top. Good thing is that NFLX falls fast and recovers fast. Bad news is it is kinds difficult to time the short for this stock because it falls so quickly. So, I am not planning on shorting and also not worried yet on the long bag. Actually planning to add to the bag maybe another $30 below this level. We'll see how things go.
NFLX Netflix Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven't entered NFLX in the buying zone:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of NFLX Netflix prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 607.50usd strike price at the money Calls with
an expiration date of 2024-4-19,
for a premium of approximately $26.50.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Netflix Faces Subscriber Growth Challenge Netflix has consistently set benchmarks and pushed boundaries. However, as the company gears up to report its earnings, a closer look reveals a nuanced landscape where subscriber growth is no longer a foregone conclusion. The once-lauded crackdown on password sharing, while initially boosting numbers, now presents a plateauing challenge. With the fervor of the pandemic waning, Netflix must navigate through shifting tides to sustain its momentum.
The Password-Sharing Conundrum
Netflix's recent surge in subscriber numbers was partly fueled by its global crackdown on password sharing. Yet, analysts warn that the euphoria from this initiative might be waning, especially in mature markets like the United States. While the crackdown may still yield results in burgeoning markets like India, it's evident that Netflix needs more than a singular strategy to fuel growth.
Diversification Beyond Traditional Models
In a bid to diversify revenue streams and cater to a wider audience, Netflix ( NASDAQ:NFLX ) has ventured into an ad-supported tier. With over 23 million monthly subscribers already onboard, this move marks a significant shift in its business model. Analysts predict that the ad-supported tier could play a pivotal role in mitigating churn and bolstering revenue in the years to come. Moreover, recent price hikes in premium plans could further incentivize users to opt for the ad-supported model, driving up average revenue per user.
Strategic Content Investment
Netflix's commitment to content remains unwavering, with projected investments reaching as high as $17 billion this year. Unlike its competitors, who are trimming content budgets to achieve profitability, Netflix ( NASDAQ:NFLX ) is doubling down on its content strategy. By retaining a flat spending trajectory, Netflix has managed to attract subscribers while securing rights to coveted content. The recent trend of competitors selling exclusive content to Netflix not only reduces churn but also underscores the company's dominance in the streaming arena.
Sports Entertainment: A New Frontier
In a strategic move to diversify its content portfolio, Netflix ( NASDAQ:NFLX ) has entered the realm of sports entertainment. The recent deal with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) signals Netflix's intent to tap into the lucrative sports entertainment market without bearing the exorbitant costs associated with traditional sports rights. By acquiring WWE's flagship program, "Raw," Netflix aims to leverage the inherent stickiness of sports content while aligning with its ethos of entertainment-centric programming.
Conclusion:
As Netflix ( NASDAQ:NFLX ) prepares to unveil its earnings report, the spotlight shines on its ability to innovate and adapt in a rapidly evolving landscape. While challenges loom, from plateauing subscriber growth to intensifying competition, Netflix's strategic diversification and unwavering commitment to content position it as a formidable force in the streaming industry. By embracing change, seizing opportunities, and staying true to its vision, Netflix ( NASDAQ:NFLX ) charts a course towards sustained growth and continued relevance in the ever-expanding world of streaming.
Netflix Q124 earnings preview – subscribing to volatility Release time – Thursday on the market close (6 am AEST / 9 pm UK time)
Netflix is one of the preeminent trading stocks - where we often see big movement, a high propensity to trend and sizeable intraday high-low daily ranges that can appeal to the day traders.
With Q124 earnings due on Thursday and the possibility of another sizeable price catalyst, Netflix is a stock that should be on the radar.
Netflix is already something of a market darling, where the share price has significantly outperformed the S&P500 by 19.6 percentage points over the last 3 months and by some 51.7 percentage points over six months.
Going into this earnings release, with price having recently traded to a multi-year high of $639, we now see consolidation with price tracking a range of $639 to $600, and importantly holding above the 50-day MA ($601.12), which has been a solid trend filter since October.
We can see the Bollinger Bands tightening up into Q1 earnings as price moves remain contained to the 20-day MA, and traders refrain from taking risks until the facts are known. A daily close above/below the bands and/or the recent trading range could be meaningful and could suggest a higher probability that we see a trend develop, which could be a compelling hunting ground for more momentum-styled traders.
Earnings pedigree
Netflix does have a strong pedigree at earnings, having beaten consensus expectations in 7 of the past 8 quarterly earnings reports. Many will also recall the Q423 earnings report where NFLX added 13.1m paid streaming subscribers, a number well above expectations and subsequently, the shares rallied strongly.
NFLX has a history of pronounced movement on earnings, with double-digit percentage moves in the prior 2 reporting quarters (on the day of earnings) and taking the period out the absolute move has averaged -/+ 12.8%. Being able to capture that movement in the post-market session is important for traders, and despite a potentially fast-moving market, there should be ample liquidity.
By way of expectations of price movement for this earnings report, we can look at the options market and asses the implied move on the day of earnings, which now currently stands at -/+ 8.1%.
This level of implied volatility speaks to the view that we could easily see movement in the share price once the earnings and guidance are known and could offer opportunity, but it is also a risk that those with existing positions may need to manage.
What to watch this time around?
For CFD traders going through the finer details of cash flow, subscribers’ numbers and sales growth seems a tough proposition. This is why most will let the market tell them how they feel about the shape of the business, and dynamically react to the ensuing price action.
However, by way of a kicker, the likely overriding driver will be quarterly subscriber adds and any guidance for Q224 subscribers. The consensus (from investment bank analysts) is for 4.77m net subscriber adds in Q1, with 3.7m pencilled in Q2. The view on the street is this is a low-ball call – which won’t surprise given NFLX have beaten consensus expectations for sub growth for three quarters in a row - and investors are positioned for a number closer to 7m, even 8m.
On headline Q1 earnings estimates, the consensus view is we for:
Earnings per share (EPS) - $4.54 (Q224 estimates $4.55)
Revenue - $9.264b (Q224 estimates $9.50b)
Free cash flow - $1.89b (Q224 estimates $1.50b)
There will be a focus on the crackdown on password sharing and how that is impacting earnings, competition, ad-supported tier, and commentary on unique programming.
The consensus 12-month price target for NFLX is $626, so I question if there is scope for a solid earnings re-rating, which could see these targets revised higher. That said, price targets are largely irrelevant for traders, and price will react far quicker than any analyst can change their models. The market will let us know about the earnings and the operating environment and the price could see some outsized moves – one to put on the radar.
Earnings alert: Companies to watch for potential trades this weeAs we step into the second week of the Q1 earnings season, a roster of major financial players is gearing up to unveil their financial reports.
Expect updates from Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, American Express, Blackstone, and Charles Schwab.
Additionally, non-financial companies like UnitedHealth, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Netflix, P&G, J&J, and ASML Holding are also slated to release their earnings.
While bank stocks have been outperforming the broader S&P 500 Index in the past six months, the tide may be turning in the first quarter of this year. Despite JPMorgan's announcement of a modest 6% rise in profits on Friday, shares dropped over 5% following the bank's conservative full-year projections for net interest income. Meanwhile, Wells Fargo and Citigroup saw declines in profits.
On Wednesday, eyes will be on Discover Financial Services as it presents its results following the announcement of its acquisition by Capital One in February. And wrapping up the week is American Express, which is set to report after providing strong full-year guidance and increasing its dividend in the last quarter. Blackstone is expected to reveal a year-over-year increase in earnings driven by higher revenues.
Thursday brings Netflix's report, with the streaming giant aiming to maintain its momentum in subscriber growth. Netflix's management has recently expressed confidence in their growth strategy, emphasizing improvements across all aspects of their platform, the introduction of paid sharing, and the expansion of their advertising offerings.
Consumer product giants Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble will disclose their earnings on Tuesday and Friday respectively, offering insights into whether increased prices are sustaining revenue growth.
Meanwhile, health insurer UnitedHealth Group is set to report on Tuesday amid rumors of an antitrust investigation.
Netflix : Is a Major Market Correction coming? 📉Following our last analysis, Netflix has precisely achieved the forecasted targets, with the wave ((iii)) extending to 227 to 261%. This suggests that a correction towards wave ((iv)) might be imminent, expected to range between 38% and 61.8%, thus laying the groundwork for a wave 5 and the culmination of a significant cycle in the form of a potential wave (2).
A closer examination of the daily chart reinforces our primary scenario: the completion of Wave II at the low of $162.80. We are currently in the process of developing Wave (1), followed by Wave (2), and so forth.
In our alternative scenario, we consider the possibility of a Regular Flat, especially when analyzing the complex correction currently unfolding. This might indicate that rather than concluding Wave (2) at $162.80, it was actually Wave (A), and we are now witnessing Wave (B) achieving exactly 100% of Wave I. Such alignment could signal a 5-wave decline towards a double bottom, marking a significant correction of 70%.
While such a correction would be substantial, it is essential to explore all scenarios to be prepared for any market developments. Despite the potential for a significant pullback, our underlying outlook remains optimistic, expecting a continued upward momentum for Netflix.
