Deploying Capital into Top Assets

In this insightful Market Mondays clip, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings break down Netflix’s strategy and the latest shake-ups in the streaming and media industries. The hosts debate whether Netflix can reclaim $100+ per share and if it’s still a top buy for long-term investors—even as seismic changes hit Paramount and major players like Larry Ellison double down on media investments. The conversation kicks off with Rashad Bilal sharing why Netflix’s push into live events, like big fight nights and sports, is building a new moat around its business—transforming them into this generation’s version of cable. Ian Dunlap reinforces the bullish outlook, reminding investors that while big year-over-year gains might slow, Netflix is still one of the best-run companies in media. The hosts urge viewers to get comfortable with longer holding periods, noting that industry giants are playing 20- to 30-year games while everyday investors sometimes focus way too much on 3- to 6-month swings. Troy Millings explores Netflix’s shift towards integrating into our daily routines—not just through binge-worthy series, but partnerships like the iHeartRadio deal, live sports, and an expanding podcast presence. He highlights the Diddy documentary’s viral numbers and what that means for Netflix’s future pipeline. The clip also dives into headline-grabbing moves by Larry Ellison, including the rumored $40 billion personal guarantee attached to mega-mergers with Paramount and Warner Brothers, plus the deepening relationship between Oracle and TikTok. Ian Dunlap explains the power and intent behind these deals—not just for building influence, but controlling media narratives and ensuring stability across their empire. Amid all the deal-making and power plays, this Market Mondays highlight ends on a crucial message: stay committed to your portfolio, play the long game, and don’t get spooked by short-term volatility. As the media industry consolidates and the fight for viewer engagement escalates, the best assets—including Netflix—are set for years of growth. *Topics covered:*
