3 ETFs to Watch as Netflix Set to Reveal Q4 Earnings
This article was originally published on ETFTrends.com.
Online streaming giant Netflix is facing fierce competition from other competitors offering media on demand with their own streaming services, such as Apple and Disney. Will the competition's foray into the streaming services space encroach on Netflix's market share and thus, reveal itself in its fourth quarter earnings report?
Activity from traders is showing that investors aren't in for a major shock when the earnings reveal takes place. One way to determine this is to examine implied volatility.
“Despite rising fears of streaming service competitors such as Disney +, the option market is lukewarm regarding Netflix’s potential for a major earnings surprise on Monday," said Garrett DeSimone, Head Quant at data company OptionMetrics. "Implied Volatility on options is hovering near 60%, which is near the norm of previous earnings for April and July 2019. This is in contrast to October earnings, which had a pre-event runup over 70%. Large implied volatility values imply that the options market expects higher expected price swings in the future.”
“Investors had a bigger anticipation of a surprise in October as opposed to this Monday’s coming announcement," DiSimone added.
