Better Buy: Disney vs. Netflix
Although many streaming companies are operating these days, most investors tend to focus on Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) and, lately, Disney (NYSE: DIS). Netflix pioneered the industry, and as it grew, it placed pressure on Disney's pay-TV offerings as customers increasingly cut the cord. Disney finally responded with streaming services of its own.
Nonetheless, investors should note that the two communications stocks are not an apples-to-apples comparison to one another. Netflix merely offers streaming services, while Disney is a media and entertainment conglomerate.
Still, with both companies heavily involved in both streaming and content creation, they share much in common. They both also stand to benefit from a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.4% in the global streaming industry through 2027.
