- The Battle That May Matter Most for Netflix Stock Isn't Against Disney
Netflix had over 325 million paid memberships at the end of 2025, but concerns about subscriber engagement have grown. Although it called engagement “healthy” in its second-quarter 2026 report, it cut the What We Watched report from twice a year to once a year, and its Oct. 20 shareholder letter acknowledged a goal to accelerate view hours growth. The article argues YouTube, not Disney, is now the key competitor for attention: YouTube had over 1.7 billion unique viewers of World Cup-related videos and $11 billion in ad revenue in Q2 2026, versus Netflix's expected $2.7 billion in ad revenue for all of 2026. The bull case is that Netflix is adding live events such as football, boxing and concerts, though these rights require additional spending.

- Stock Hits Limit-Down for an Eighth Straight Session: What's Going On?
Petro Times' PPT shares hit the daily floor price for an eighth straight session on Oct 29, falling to 6,600 dong, down about 56% since Oct 20 from 15,000 dong, as trading volume jumped to over 496,000 shares. The company attributed the drop mainly to supply and demand and acknowledged that business difficulties caused a sharp fall in after-tax profit. The sell-off followed a third-quarter report showing net revenue of 1,066 billion dong, down 9.4%, and an after-tax loss of over 22.1 billion dong versus a profit of nearly 2.4 billion dong a year earlier. The quarter included a loss of about 19.7 billion dong from transferring nine plots of land in Tràng Duệ, though nine-month after-tax profit still reached nearly 33.7 billion dong, about 4.4 times the year-earlier level. Market capitalization shrank from about 265 billion dong to nearly 130 billion dong.
