In this Market Mondays clip, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive deep into the world of "downward stocks," discussing some of the most prominent tech giants currently facing stock declines. The conversation kicks off with Rashad Bilal listing major losses: Netflix down by 34%, Meta by 22%, Microsoft by 17%, Tesla by 12%, and others. Which one is the most appealing right now? Ian Dunlap breaks down his long-term confidence in all of them but singles out Microsoft as his top short-term pick, followed closely by Tesla and Netflix. The discussion quickly pivots to Netflix’s latest ventures—from content strategy concerns to rumors about launching its own music streaming service and potentially signing superstars like Drake. Rashad Bilal voices his worries over Netflix's content quality and shifting focus but acknowledges the platform’s heavy-hitting original series and recent foray into live sports and blockbuster documentaries. Troy Millings sheds light on Netflix’s traditionally strong fourth and first quarters—pointing out successes like Stranger Things, Squid Game, and live sporting events, emphasizing optimism around Netflix’s near-future earnings and strategic partnerships, particularly regarding a potential Warner Brothers deal. Turning to Microsoft, Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap analyze the company’s flat stock performance over the past year. Ian Dunlap suggests Microsoft’s growth trajectory hinges on onboarding a new AI partner and the potential public offering of OpenAI, which could serve as major catalysts. He also draws parallels between Microsoft’s situation and opportunities in Bitcoin, highlighting potential long-term value despite recent stagnation. And let’s not forget Tesla—Ian Dunlap hints at the company's ongoing reinvention, distancing itself from merely being a car manufacturer and embracing advancements in autonomous tech, signaling renewed focus and long-term vision. Whether you’re an investor, tech enthusiast, or just want the inside scoop on today’s most-watched stocks, this clip offers premium insights and lively debate on what’s next for some of the market’s biggest names.

[1:11] Speaker 4: the restructure of Tesla no longer being a car company
[1:16] Speaker 4: and then being autonomous in him being focused more than
[1:19] Speaker 4: ever do. I think Netflix will recover once again. It's
[1:22] Speaker 4: a debt issue. I think Netflix will probably be third
[1:27] Speaker 4: and they'll be fine, But I'm going to have to
[1:29] Speaker 4: go with Microsoft first, Tesla second, then Netflix third. The
[1:34] Speaker 4: rip is a great kudos have been Nefleck and like,
[1:38] Speaker 4: what you didn't It's like in the town and one
[1:42] Speaker 4: I didn't.

[1:45] Speaker 3: He said? She said? What isn't heard her? Yeah?
[1:51] Speaker 5: Netflix is doing a few things that's concerned to me.

[2:09] Speaker 2: I spoke to somebody that was very high up on
[2:11] Speaker 2: the food chain today when it comes to these content
[2:15] Speaker 2: creation topics, and they said that your Netflix, they're creating
[2:19] Speaker 2: their own streaming service for music. And don't be surprised
[2:23] Speaker 2: if they signed Drake or somebody of that calend of
[2:28] Speaker 2: that magnitude.
[2:29] Speaker 3: Okay, that I have heard, Yeah.
[2:32] Speaker 5: I think that might be. I don't know it to gamble.
[2:35] Speaker 2: But then there's this number one, like one of the
[2:37] Speaker 2: top three movies on Netflix right now. I watched yesterday.
[2:40] Speaker 2: It's like The Suitcase Killer. You have watched that. Oh yeah,
[2:43] Speaker 2: I was actually gonna watch it last night.
[2:45] Speaker 3: But Netflix back right now.
[2:47] Speaker 5: It's concerning.
[2:52] Speaker 3: The reason why or the strategy.
[2:55] Speaker 5: It's the movie.
[2:56] Speaker 2: Is a lifetime It's like a lifetime movie.
[3:01] Speaker 3: Okay.
[3:02] Speaker 5: I was surprised that Netflix even put it on their platform.
[3:04] Speaker 6: They do some of those mm hmm. That doesn't that
[3:09] Speaker 6: just on an eye test, Yeah, that's not fit.
[3:16] Speaker 5: It's like shot starting.
[3:22] Speaker 3: You're starting to cut it too much.
[3:26] Speaker 5: Stepped on, you're cutting it too much.
[3:27] Speaker 3: Man. And it was like the top ten recommended to
[3:32] Speaker 3: it was.
[3:33] Speaker 5: Like number three exactly was number three. It's trending.
[3:35] Speaker 3: Yeah, but here, I mean, tomorrow is a big day.
[3:39] Speaker 1: Right by the time we come on on on Market
[3:42] Speaker 1: Money's next week, we'll have a better picture of what
[3:44] Speaker 1: Netflix looks like.
[3:45] Speaker 3: I think fourth quarter is traditionally that the best quarter.
[3:49] Speaker 1: Fourth and first are usually the best, obviously because of
[3:51] Speaker 1: the content that they put out, and they had a
[3:53] Speaker 1: hell of a year when you're talking about Stranger Things,
[3:56] Speaker 1: I mean, it's still the most watched thing on Netflix.
[4:00] Speaker 3: Millions of views.
[4:01] Speaker 1: Talk about squad games that they had, they had the
[4:03] Speaker 1: finale for that. Then they brought in the Dragon was
[4:05] Speaker 1: the Dragon Demon or Demon Slayer whatever that thing is,
[4:09] Speaker 1: and now Crazy Demon Hunters. That was incredible, and they
[4:14] Speaker 1: just had a wildcard, like the Didy documentary is a wildcard,
[4:18] Speaker 1: but the numbers that it did were incredible. Adding to
[4:21] Speaker 1: that the live sports you have football, you had the J.
[4:23] Speaker 3: Paul fight.
[4:25] Speaker 1: I think they're going to report an incredible quarter and
[4:28] Speaker 1: maybe we'll get more clarity on what this Warner Brothers
[4:30] Speaker 1: deal looks like.
[4:31] Speaker 3: I know they're trying to expedite that.
[4:33] Speaker 1: They said now they're going to do all cash, right,
[4:35] Speaker 1: you do all cash now, The timeframe that you can
[4:38] Speaker 1: get that content into the wheelhouse and start trying to
[4:40] Speaker 1: make revenue off of it gets picked up in the
[4:44] Speaker 1: first two quarters of this year, where it was looking
[4:46] Speaker 1: like if they were going to do loans and figure
[4:48] Speaker 1: out how they were going to do buy backs and shares,
[4:50] Speaker 1: they would have took them to twenty twenty eight. They're
[4:52] Speaker 1: trying to get back into this space where yes, we
[4:55] Speaker 1: did the ten to one spit, but was still the
[4:57] Speaker 1: most dominant thing when it comes to media and especially
[5:00] Speaker 1: really uh streaming services. Tomorrow will be very interesting, and
[5:04] Speaker 1: it's gonna tell us a lot.
[5:05] Speaker 3: I like Netflix, all.
[5:07] Speaker 2: Right, before we bring MG on? Could we gotta bring
[5:08] Speaker 2: MG on? The last thing is, uh, Microsoft, When is Microsoft?
[5:12] Speaker 2: When we're gonna see some when we're gonna see some
[5:14] Speaker 2: action for Microsoft?
[5:19] Speaker 3: Are you not happy with how that?
[5:21] Speaker 4: I mean, I think they're in a great position right
[5:23] Speaker 4: now to like around our four socclub. I'm not gonna
[5:26] Speaker 4: give our prices away before forty nine as a even
[5:30] Speaker 4: not even not even a bypoint per se. But like
[5:33] Speaker 4: Microsoft has been kind of like.
[5:37] Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was all right a year ago
[5:40] Speaker 2: with four hundred and forty four dollars and today is
[5:42] Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty nine dollars, So it's been pretty
[5:45] Speaker 2: much flat for a year, right, Like, when are we
[5:48] Speaker 2: going to start to see Microsoft takeoff to the upside?
[5:52] Speaker 4: I think once they figure out the all the to
[5:54] Speaker 4: be very honest, the on boarding of a new AI
[5:58] Speaker 4: partner and what that looks like, and then also to
[6:02] Speaker 4: the window of when Opening I goes public. This reminds
[6:05] Speaker 4: me of like a star player being in the Star organization.
[6:09] Speaker 4: But it's not working out, So let's get this off
[6:11] Speaker 4: the books. Let's get off forty nine percent but now
[6:14] Speaker 4: we have all the tools for co pilot and all
[6:17] Speaker 4: the software that we need.
[6:21] Speaker 3: It's very interesting. But like same with bitcoin.
[6:23] Speaker 4: If bitcoin is at negative ten percent for the year,
[6:26] Speaker 4: it's still represents in the miss bout opportunity for the
[6:29] Speaker 4: next two or three years. And I think on the
[6:30] Speaker 4: enterprise front, as we head into recession in twenty seven,
[6:34] Speaker 4: I think they'd be more valuable. But like once they
[6:36] Speaker 4: get the open EA situation, keep your calendar's mark.
[6:41] Speaker 3: When they'll go public, they'll be good. They'll be good.
[6:45] Speaker 1: Erners.
[6:45] Speaker 3: What's up?
[6:46] Speaker 1: You ever walk into a small business and everything just
[6:48] Speaker 1: works like the checkout is fast, the re seats are digital,
[6:52] Speaker 1: tipping is a breeze, and you're out the door before
[6:55] Speaker 1: the line even builds. Odds are they're using Square up
[7:00] Speaker 1: supporting businesses that run on Square because it just feels seamless.
