Netflix, Warner Bros Discovery, AMC Networks Among Top Media And Tech Gainers In Stock Market’s ‘Santa Claus Rally’
30.12.2022 - 00:21 / deadline.com
Shares in Netflix, Warner Bros Discovery and AMC Networks were among the top gainers in a so-called “Santa Claus rally” at the end of a rough year for media and tech stocks.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq finished the day up 2.6% to finish at 10,478.09, but it remains on track for its worst year since 2008. Even so, the Santa Claus rally — a nickname for a frequently occurring uptick in the final days of December — is an actual thing. And it can bode well for the new year. According to FactSet, the S&P 500 Index gained an average 1.3% a year over the last five trading days of the year and the first two of the new one every year since 1950. It finished in plus territory for the full year 79% of the time.
Encouraging data on employment trends, plus bargain-hunting among value investors, helped provide additional tailwinds.
Netflix rose 5% to $291.44. The stock got a rare “double upgrade” by Wall Street research firm CFRA, which raised its rating to “buy” from “sell,” bypassing the middle tier on an upbeat assessment of the company’s new ad-supported streaming tier. As for the broader sector, Netflix’s near-term upswing came after a brutal year. Its shares have fallen about 50% in 2022 to date.
Other winners included WBD, up 6% to $9.43; Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, up 8% to $5.52; and AMC Networks, up 7% to $15.48.
Among large-cap issues, Apple, Amazon and Disney also posted gains of between 3% and 4%.

How Guillermo del Toro Sold Netflix on a Twisted Version of ‘Pinocchio’
the Pinocchio through a bevy of subsequent films, from the 1965 Belgian-American “Pinocchio in Outer Space” to 21st century adaptations by Roberto Benigni, Matteo Garrone and Robert Zemeckis.But the newest “Pinocchio,” which Netflix released only three months after Zemeckis’ film, comes from Guillermo del Toro, who pulled the character out of Disney’s world and put him squarely in del Toro’s land (a move that helped avoid any sticky copyright issues). “The Disney movie Is a masterpiece, one of the great animated movies of all times,” said del Toro, whose version of the character is both brattier and more solemn.
