Better Buy: Netflix vs. Facebook

Both digital video veteran Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) and social media giant Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) are crushing the market in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed serious challenges for all businesses, including these two, but stay-at-home policies during the health crisis have been generally good news for Netflix and Facebook.

As of early September, Facebook shares have gained 47% year to date, while Netflix's stock rose by 71%. The stocks are hovering just below their 52-week and all-time highs. Investors generally expect the good times to keep on rolling, judging by the very low interest in selling Netflix or Facebook short even at these high prices. Which one of these market-stomping stocks is the better buy right now? Let's take a closer look.
