Trading Strategies For Netflix Stock Before And After Q4 Earnings
Portfolio Pulse from Melanie Schaffer
Netflix, Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) is set to release its Q4 earnings after market close on Tuesday. The stock has been trading flat, mirroring the S&P 500's sideways movement. Netflix's Q3 results exceeded expectations, causing a 16% stock surge the next day. Analysts predict Q4 earnings of $2.22 per share on revenues of $8.719 billion. Technical analysis shows Netflix's stock in a neutral position but in an uptrend on the daily chart. Options traders face increased risk due to higher premiums from implied volatility. The Direxion Daily NYSE FANG+ Bull2X Shares (NYSE:FNGG), which includes Netflix as its seventh-largest holding, is an option for traders looking to leverage their position. However, leveraged ETFs are recommended for short-term trading rather than long-term investments.

NEUTRAL IMPACT
FNGG, which seeks to track 200% of the NYSE FANG+ Index's performance, includes Netflix as its seventh-largest holding. The ETF may experience volatility following Netflix's earnings report due to its significant weighting in the fund.
FNGG's performance is partially dependent on Netflix's stock due to its 9.92% weighting. However, as a leveraged ETF with a broader index exposure, the impact of Netflix's earnings may be diluted by other components in the index.
