#Comparing the stock perforamnce of NFLX and AMC, its clear that both the companies operate in the entertainment sector, but have varying trajectories, what verisons of “success”. Latest available, NFLX closed at $629.28, increasing $1.78 during trading hours, with a market cap of $272.31 billion. The company has a 52-week range of $315.62 - $634.39, showcasing a steady upward trend over time. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NFLX/ # on the other hand, AMC ,most recently closed at $4.07, refelcting a @0.02 decrease during the trading hours. Clearly this is significantly lower than NFLX market cap. Its also important to note the 52-week range of $3.59 - $62.30, showcasing a lot of challenges or maybe change within the market. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMC/ #contrasting the two, NFLX has seen much more growth and stability over the past year(s). I think its important to look at the statiscal data, but also it may not hurt to give smaller streaming services a chance.
