Netflix Gains On Signaling Video Games Play, UBS Upgrade© Reuters.

Investing.com – Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock was up 2.7% in Thursday’s premarket trading amid increasing chatter it may add video games to its streaming platform.

A signal to this effect came Wednesday with the news of the company hiring Mike Verdu as vice president of game development, reporting to Chief Operating Officer Greg Peters.

Verdu was previously Facebook’s vice president in charge of working with developers to bring games and other content to Oculus virtual-reality headsets, according to Bloomberg.

Netflix plans to offer video games on its streaming platform within the next year, Bloomberg said. The games will appear with the existing portfolio as a new programming genre.

While the stock buzzes on the addition of new dimensions to streaming services by the company, it also got a little bump from an upgrade by UBS, which now has a target price of $620, 13% above its closing level on Wednesday. Analyst Eric Sheridan retained his ‘buy’ on the stock, according to StreetInsider.

It's a smart move, given how many people use their platform for entertainment. With Mike Verdu on board, who has a strong background in VR gaming, it'll be fascinating to see what kind of games they'll introduce.

And yes, I'm a gaming enthusiast myself. Counter Strike has been a long-time favorite of mine. The competitive nature and teamwork required in the game always keep me hooked. Recently, I found this online marketplace dedicated to CS2 skins, which adds a whole new level of customization to the gaming experience. It's impressive how gaming continues to evolve and expand its horizons.

    • The BLUM project has recently gained attention in the cryptocurrency community due to several developments such as  Introduction of a mining game on the TON ecosystem, allowing users to earn $BLUM tokens.  Announcement of new strategic partnerships Upcoming features including Tribes and Memepad functionalities.  Active community engagement through events and rewards 5. Recognition from notable figures in the crypto space Key upcoming events: Token Generation Event (TGE) for the BLUM mining game scheduled for September 20, 2024 Coinciding airdrop of BLUM tokens to the community The project plans to provide liquidity on centralized exchanges such as Bitget and Binance, as well as decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, Curve, and PancakeSwap. These developments have contributed to increased discussions about BLUM on social media platforms, particularly Twitter. As the crypto landscape evolves rapidly, interested individuals are encouraged to stay informed about BLUM's progress through official channels and related TON communities like r/TONDiscussion.  As with any cryptocurrency project, potential participants should conduct thorough research and consider their own risk tolerance before engaging.
    • Counter Fire is poised to redefine the gaming industry with its innovative blend of competitive gameplay and blockchain technology. The game offers multiple modes, including team-based matches of quads, duos, and solos along with solo missions, with deep customization options and dynamic battle scenarios. While the core gameplay of Counter Fire is similar to PUBG, a battle-royal where the last-man or last-team standing wins in a survival gameplay, users earn while playing Counter Fires. The project has been buzzing the ecosystem as the airdrop claim went live today so users can claim their $CEC and await listing on 9th Sept. While gamers continue to claim their tokens, some analysts have start speculating that the project will redefine the gaming landscape citing the project partnership with likes of YoubiCapital, HASHKEY, KERNEL ventures and many more and the fact that the project raised over $5 million as the base for their argument. The project partnership with Bitget could also be a reason it continues to gain such exposure as players can only claim their token to the exchange. Though, as players claim their token to the exchange, they could benefit some reward from the 1 million $CEC reward pool. I still think many exchanges should list the token so gamers can have many choices.
    • Hi @feirb1, Thank you for your post. Please note that we offer T-Bills for trading on leveraged accounts. By trading these, you will be speculating on the price movements. This means that, when trading, you´ll never take ownership of an actual t-bill. Instead, you´ll take a position on the market either rising in value or falling. Thanks, KoketsoIG
