The streaming space is becoming more and more competitive as Apple and Disney have now launched their streaming service. A few days ago, Disney+ announced it signed up 10 million subscribers on a single day, the first day it launched.

Amazon Prime and Netflix are also strong players with a good offering of original content. They also have the advantage of already being popular for several years. The secular trend of moving from cable to streaming still poses a big opportunity for growth and the battle to get market share is expected to become more intense.

:televisión: Top Streaming Stocks

Apple (AAPL-Q)
The recent launch of Apple+ was received with mixed results but there are more original content in the pipeline. The transition from hardware to service is coming along nicely and many analysts still consider it a buy or a top pick.

Apple Inc (AAPL-Q) — Stockchase
Apple Inc (AAPL-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about AAPL-Q: Research based on Bob Lang of Explosiveoptions.net Is a successful online retailer, with sales more than doubling between 2019-2021, thanks to Covid, then declined in 2023, but recovered in 2024. Don't count out Apple. Lang says the stock has recently broken out from its recent price range on higher volumes. The stock…

Walt Disney (DIS-N)
Disney+ launched on November 12 to much anticipation. They reported good numbers from their Dutch test. The company can leverage their content to attract subscribers and are the best equipped to compete with Netflix.

Walt Disney Co. (DIS-N) — Stockchase
Walt Disney Co. (DIS-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about DIS-N: Is up 19% in the last 3 months. Trades at 19x PE, a decent discount to the market, 13-16% earnings growth, movies have rebounded and theme parks are doing well. A great company.

Netflix Inc. (NFLX-Q)
One of the first largely known streaming service across the world. There are concerns of increased competition in the space and analysts are worried the company is losing its first mover advantage. Nevertheless, cable cutting trends will help Netflix gain additional subscribers.

Netflix Inc. (NFLX-Q) — Stockchase
Netflix Inc. (NFLX-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about NFLX-Q: They will be the internet channel for the world. Is worth $542 billion. Don't double down because you might get an intra-day swing when you can buy. Is one of the best run companies in the world.

Amazon.com (AMZN-Q)
A very diverse company that offers streaming through it’s Amazon Prime Video service. The subscription segment is growing and paying off, allowing them more consistent and growing revenue.

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN-Q) — Stockchase
Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about AMZN-Q: Research based on Bob Lang of Explosiveoptions.net Since mid-May this has formed a golden cross (the 50-day moving average crosses the 200-day) based on a solid uptrend. The MACD momentum line now shows a buy signal. Also, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) measures buying and selling pressure, and it's positive (the buyers…

Roku Inc (ROKU-Q)
A unique play in the streaming space as it acts as a conduit for several thousand different apps. It’s a volatile stock but they facilitate the move from cable to streaming.

Roku Inc (ROKU-Q) — Stockchase
Roku Inc (ROKU-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about ROKU-Q: technical analysis by Bob Lang Roku is speculative, with a choppy chart, but it may have bottomed last week below the 200-day moving average and has rebounded to the mid-80s. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) remains bearish, ugly. A momentum indicator--MACD--is about to make a bullish crossover. Lang expects a breakout to…

Canada Streaming Movers

Cineplex Inc (CGX-T)
The company is reporting earnings today. They are diversifying away from cinema which has added to debt but helped them diversify. There is a general downward trend to the movement. However, many investors buy this stock for the dividends.

Cineplex Inc (CGX-T) — Stockchase
Cineplex Inc (CGX-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about CGX-T: It was a darling, a great business years ago that generated tons of free cash flow. He once owned it. Then, it was supposed to be bought, but bad luck saw Covid hit and the deal died. Great management and still a good business that generates cash, but times have changed--there are…

Shaw Communication (B) (SJR.B-T)
Its recent move into streaming weighed on Shaw due to increased competition in the wireless space as well as streaming. It pays a good dividend near 4% and is in a safer oligopolistic industry.

Shaw Communication (B) (SJR.B-T) — Stockchase
Shaw Communication (B) (SJR.B-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about SJR.B-T: It comes down to the Rogers deal, which the street thinks will happen, but this is the fourth deadline extension. The deal has been priced into shares, so there isn't much upside. Better to buy Rogers or Telus than Shaw.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Rogers Communications (B) (RCI.B-T)
Rogers is a diversified telecom company that also offers Anyplace TV that lets subscribers watch tv on demand. They missed on earnings and the stock price pulled back so it could be a good chance to buy it on sale.

Rogers Communications (B) (RCI.B-T) — Stockchase
Rogers Communications (B) (RCI.B-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about RCI.B-T: All telcos have been facing highly competitive pricing environment, slowing immigration targets, and lots of infrastructure capex. Better payout ratio, as it didn't raise dividends as much as others. So the dividend is safe. Debt issue from MLSE deal; sports assets are valuable, but not necessarily cashflow positive.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

BCE Inc. (BCE-T)
The BCE Premium TV channel let’s customers watch sports online. They pay out a good dividend that is considered safe. They recently reported earnings that were on par with expectations.

BCE Inc. (BCE-T) — Stockchase
BCE Inc. (BCE-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about BCE-T: It is turning around with the chart turning positive. There's a big catch-up trade to be had. The next resistance level is $42. It's the laggard among the big three telcos.

Quebecor Inc (B) (QBR.B-T)
Through Vidéotron, the company offers club illico that let’s subscribers stream content, mostly focusing on French Canadian content. This telco has a strong presence in Quebec and is also active in Ontario.

Quebecor Inc (B) (QBR.B-T) — Stockchase
Quebecor Inc (B) (QBR.B-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about QBR.B-T: (A Top Pick Jan 23/24, Up 3%) Benefiting from the Freedom Mobile purchase. Able to expand in Ontario and Western Canada without deploying too much capex. Very high ROE and free cashflow, allowing them to lower debt and obtain investment-grade rating on bonds. Aggressively buying back shares. Best-performing telecom stock this year.
