Netflix's second-quarter 2024 earnings preview: the fight to stay on top

As Netflix gets ready to announce its earnings for the second quarter (Q2) of 2024, investors want to know if the popular streaming service can keep attracting lots of new subscribers, make the most of its ad-supported plans, and remain the top streaming platform.

When will Netflix share its latest earnings information?

Netflix will reveal its April through June 2024 financial results after the stock market closes on Thursday, 18 July 2024.

Another Netflix revenue increase seems to be on the cards

Netflix expects its revenue to increase 16% year-over-year (YoY) to $9.49 billion in the second quarter of 2024 but analysts predict Netflix's Q2 revenue will be slightly higher at $9.53 billion. In the first quarter of 2024, Netflix's revenue was $9.37 billion, up 15% from the prior year.

Earnings are also expected to rise

Regarding earnings, Netflix forecasts net income of $2.06 billion, or $4.68 per share, for the second quarter of 2024 whereas analysts estimate Netflix's Q2 earnings per share will reach $4.74. For comparison, in Q2 2023, Netflix reported a net income of $1.48 billion, or $3.29 per share. Netflix's net income in quarter 1 (Q1) 2024 was $2.3 billion, or $5.28 per share.

Further revenue growth in the pipeline

YoY Netflix expects 21% FX-neutral revenue growth in Q2. Paid net additions are likely to be lower in Q2 than Q1 due to seasonal trends but global average revenue per membership is predicted to increase YoY in Q2 (on an FX-neutral basis).

In Q1 2024, Netflix added 9.3 million net subscribers, grew global paid memberships 16% YoY to 269.6 million, and increased average revenue per membership 1% YoY (or 4% on an FX-neutral basis). Engagement remained solid despite changes like paid sharing.

Netflix – technical view

The Netflix share price, up over 45% year-to-date, is approaching its November 2021 record high at $700.99 which, since it was made near the major psychological $700 mark, probably won’t be easily overcome.

A rise above the $700.99 all-time high would allow for the $750 region to be in focus, though.

On the daily chart, the Netflix share price has been range bound since late June but last week did rise to its current July high at $697.49, close to the $700.99 record peak.

The upside is being supported by the May-to-July uptrend line at $678.42 below which good support can be spotted between the May high and the late June and early July lows at $633.78 to $662.30. While this area underpins, the short-term uptrend will remain valid.

For a medium-term top to be formed, the Netflix share price would have to fall through its $626.44 June low. Slightly above this level, the April high at $639.00 would be expected to offer support in such a scenario.

    • FTSE 100 Elliott Wave Analysis - Trading Lounge Day Chart FTSE 100 (UK) Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Bullish Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Gray wave 3 Position: Orange wave 5 Direction Next Higher Degrees: Gray wave 3 (continue) Details: Gray wave 2 is completed. Now gray wave 3 is in play. Wave cancel/invalidation level: 8,178.07 The FTSE 100 Elliott Wave analysis on the day chart suggests a bullish trend, characterized by an impulsive mode that reflects strong upward momentum. The primary structure in focus is gray wave 3, part of the ongoing upward trend. Currently, the market is positioned within orange wave 5 of gray wave 3, indicating that the market is advancing in the final phase of this wave sequence. The analysis shows that gray wave 2 has been completed, and now gray wave 3 is actively pushing the market higher. The next expected phase is the continuation of gray wave 3, pointing to further upward movement in the near term. This phase will likely continue driving the market upward until a corrective phase begins. The wave structure follows the typical Elliott Wave pattern, where impulsive waves drive the market higher, and corrective waves provide brief pullbacks. The analysis also sets a wave cancellation or invalidation level at 8,178.07. If the market falls below this level, the current Elliott Wave count will be invalidated, necessitating a reassessment of the wave structure. However, as long as the price remains above this threshold, the bullish trend in gray wave 3 is expected to continue. Summary: The FTSE 100 is in a strong bullish phase, with gray wave 3 progressing upward. Orange wave 5 is in play, driving further upward momentum. The invalidation level is set at 8,178.07, with the trend expected to remain intact unless breached.   FTSE 100 Elliott Wave Analysis - Trading Lounge Weekly Chart FTSE 100 (UK) Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Bullish Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Orange wave 5 Position: Navy blue wave 3 Direction Next Higher Degrees: Orange wave 5 (continue) Details: Orange wave 4 is completed. Now orange wave 5 is in play. Wave cancellation/invalidation level: 7,920.18 The FTSE 100 weekly Elliott Wave analysis indicates that the market is currently following a bullish trend with an impulsive mode, suggesting strong upward momentum. The primary wave structure under focus is orange wave 5, which is part of the larger bullish wave sequence. The market is positioned in navy blue wave 3, indicating the continuation of this bullish trend. Orange wave 4 has been completed, and the market has now entered the next phase: orange wave 5. This wave signifies the continuation of the upward trend, with further gains expected as wave 5 progresses. The analysis highlights that orange wave 5 is actively in play, representing the final leg of this particular wave sequence. As long as the price follows the current wave structure, further upward movement is anticipated. The bullish trend is expected to persist unless the key wave cancellation level is breached. The invalidation level is set at 7,920.18, meaning if the price falls below this level, the current Elliott Wave count would be invalidated, and the market analysis would need to be reassessed. Summary: The FTSE 100 is in a bullish phase, with orange wave 5 in progress, signaling ongoing upward movement. Orange wave 4 is completed, and the market has resumed its bullish trend. The invalidation level is at 7,920.18, with the trend expected to continue unless this level is breached. Technical Analyst : Malik Awais Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!  
    • USDCAD Elliott Wave Analysis - Trading Lounge U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar (USDCAD) Day Chart USDCAD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Navy blue wave 1 Position: Gray wave 3 Direction Next Lower Degrees: Navy blue wave 2 Details: Navy blue wave 1 of gray wave 3 is still in play. Wave cancellation/invalid level: 1.34189. The USDCAD Elliott Wave analysis on the day chart indicates an impulsive trend, signifying a strong upward movement in the market. The primary structure of focus is navy blue wave 1, which is part of the larger gray wave 3. Currently, the market is situated within gray wave 3, and navy blue wave 1 remains in progress. This wave implies that the upward trend is continuing, with the market likely to complete this phase before advancing to the next stage of the wave sequence. The ongoing movement in navy blue wave 1 reflects sustained bullish momentum, forming part of the impulsive wave structure. The next anticipated phase is navy blue wave 2, representing a potential corrective phase after the completion of the current impulsive wave. This phase may lead to a temporary pullback or consolidation before the upward trend resumes in the subsequent wave. However, the analysis suggests that for now, navy blue wave 1 is still active, signaling further upward movement in the short term. A wave cancellation or invalidation level is identified at 1.34189. If the price drops below this level, the current Elliott Wave count would be invalidated, and the market's wave structure would need to be reassessed. As long as the price remains above this level, the bullish trend within navy blue wave 1 of gray wave 3 is expected to persist. Summary: USDCAD is in an impulsive phase, with navy blue wave 1 of gray wave 3 still in progress. The market is in an upward trend, with an invalidation level at 1.34189. The next phase will likely involve a corrective movement in navy blue wave 2.   U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar (USDCAD) 4 Hour Chart USDCAD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Corrective Structure: Orange wave 4 Position: Navy blue wave 1 Direction Next Higher Degrees: Orange wave 5 Details: Orange wave 3 is complete, and orange wave 4 is now in play. Wave cancellation/invalidation level: 1.35418. The USDCAD Elliott Wave analysis on the 4-hour chart presents a counter-trend scenario, focusing on a corrective pattern. The primary wave structure under analysis is orange wave 4, marking a corrective phase after the completion of the previous impulsive movement in orange wave 3. The analysis indicates that orange wave 3 has concluded, and the market is now progressing through orange wave 4. This wave represents a corrective movement within the broader wave sequence, typically characterized by consolidation or a pullback. Orange wave 4 is expected to act as a temporary retracement before the market resumes its upward movement in orange wave 5. At this stage, the market is positioned within navy blue wave 1, which is part of orange wave 4. This signals the initiation of the corrective phase, with the market currently moving through this retracement period as it prepares for the eventual continuation of the larger upward trend in orange wave 5. The analysis identifies a wave cancellation or invalidation level at 1.35418. Should the price fall below this level, the current wave count and analysis would be invalidated, requiring a reassessment of the market's wave structure. However, as long as the price remains above this level, the corrective phase of orange wave 4 is expected to continue, with potential for upward movement in orange wave 5 once the correction concludes. Summary: USDCAD is in a corrective phase, with orange wave 4 in progress following the completion of orange wave 3. The market is currently consolidating or retracing during this phase. The invalidation level is set at 1.35418, with an upward movement likely after orange wave 4 completes, leading into orange wave 5.
