Netflix's stock has seen significant volatility in 2025, with a 41% year-to-date increase despite a 5% drop after reporting earnings that beat estimates. The stock rebounded following the earnings report, with analysts raising price targets and citing solid momentum and growth drivers.
Investors were buoyed by Netflix's strong second-quarter results, which exceeded expectations. The company reported earnings per share of $7.08, up from $4.88 last year, and revenue of $11.1 billion, up 16% [3]. Despite the earnings drop, analysts remain optimistic about Netflix's future, with RBC Capital Markets recommending Brookfield Corp., Element Fleet Management Corp., and Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. as top picks [1].
Drone stocks have also seen a surge in 2025, with U.S. defense secretary Pete Hegseth announcing a major policy shift to ease drone regulations. Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:RCAT) has seen a significant rally, with the stock gaining nearly 100% in the past two months.
Hegseth's memo highlighted the need to remove restrictions hindering major risk avoidance, aiming for drone dominance by 2027. While Red Cat has not yet seen actual orders, the company is expanding manufacturing capacity and has forecast 2025 sales of $80 to $120 million [2]. The company has also entered the unmanned surface vessels (USV) space, setting up another potential revenue stream.
Investors should be cautious, as the stock has a market cap of nearly $1 billion and is forecast to report Q2 revenues of $7.7 million. The company needs to execute on its plans to see further gains.
