<strong>Netflix Exceeds Earnings Forecasts, Raises Revenue Projections</strong>
</h2>
<p>9 minutes ago</p>
<p>
Netflix (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=NFLX">NFLX</a>) has announced second-quarter results that surpassed analysts' expectations and upgraded its revenue guidance for the fiscal year.
</p>
<p>
The streaming giant reported a profit of $3.13 billion, or $7.19 per share, compared to $2.15 billion, or $4.88 per share, in the same period last year—significantly above estimates from Visible Alpha. Revenue also increased by 15.9% year-over-year to $11.08 billion, matching analyst predictions.
</p>
<p>
These positive results followed Netflix's recent price hikes across its streaming plans earlier this year, raising the cost of its ad-supported plan to $7.99 from $6.99, the standard ad-free plan from $15.49 to $17.99, and the premium plan to $24.99 from $22.99.
</p>
<p>
For the upcoming fiscal year 2025, Netflix has raised its revenue outlook to between $44.8 billion and $45.2 billion, up from a previous forecast of $43.5 billion to $44.5 billion. Analysts had expected about $44.6 billion, while the third-quarter revenue estimate of $11.53 billion also exceeded Wall Street's average prediction of $11.31 billion.
</p>
<p>
Following this announcement, Netflix shares dipped around 1% in after-hours trading but are still up over 40% for 2025 as of Thursday's closing.

<strong>Health Care Stocks Decline Thursday</strong>
</h2>
<p>31 minutes ago</p>
<p>
Stocks of medical insurers and pharmaceutical companies fell on Thursday, primarily influenced by a negative outlook from Elevance, alongside other contributing factors.
</p>
<p>
The health care sector was the worst performing within the S&P 500 that day, with UnitedHealth Group (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=unh">UNH</a>) being the weakest stock in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
</p>
<p>
Shares of Elevance Health (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=ELV">ELV</a>) plummeted 12%, making it the top loser in the S&P 500. The medical insurer noted an "unprecedented cost trend affecting multiple lines" leading to lowered financial forecasts for the second consecutive year, as shared by CEO Gail Boudreaux during a conference call.
</p>
<p>
This prompted investors to offload shares of other insurers, with Molina Healthcare (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=MOH">MOH</a>) dropping over 5%, Centene Corp. (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=CNC">CNC</a>) declining 4%, and Cigna Group (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=CI">CI</a>) falling 2.5%. UnitedHealth ended the day with a 1.5% loss.
</p>
<p>
Centene had previously withdrawn its annual guidance in early July, while UnitedHealth had done so back in May.

<strong>Lucid Shares Surge Following Robotaxi Collaboration with Uber</strong>
</h2>
<p>3 hours ago</p>
<p>
Uber Technologies (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=UBER">UBER</a>) announced a partnership with electric vehicle maker Lucid Group (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=LCID">LCID</a>) and Nuro, a self-driving technology company, to introduce robotaxis on its network.
</p>
<p>
Following the news, Lucid's shares surged nearly 40%, returning them to positive annual performance, while Uber's stock remained stable after reaching a record high the previous week.
</p>
<p>
The goal is to launch these autonomous vehicles in a yet-to-be-announced major U.S. city by late next year, with Uber planning to integrate at least 20,000 of Lucid's self-driving vehicles onto its platform over six years.
</p>
<p>
Uber is reportedly investing hundreds of millions into Lucid and Nuro as part of the collaboration.
</p>
<p>
However, analysts raised concerns about potential risks for Uber, citing possible impacts on relationships with existing partners, like Google's Waymo, and doubts about Lucid and Nuro's scalability compared to other industry leaders like Tesla.
