If we do that, we’re confident we can maintain our strong position and continue to grow nicely as we have been for the past two-plus decades.” Netflix said.</p>\n<p>Netflix’s declaration came as the company said it added 1.5 million memberships in the second quarter as the streaming giant continues to seeslower growth in new subscribersfollowing a surge last year at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.</p>\n<p>Netflix said the pandemic had created what it called “lumpiness” in its membership growth, referring to higher growth last year and slower growth this year. The company said it has 209.2 million subscribers world-wide. Shares were flat in after-hours trading.</p>\n<p>The global leader in streaming’s approach to acquisitions is the opposite of the rest of the entertainment industry, which is in a frantic phase of deal-making in the hopes of assembling content giants that can be formidable rivals to Netflix.</p>\n<p>In May,AT&amp;TInc.andDiscoveryInc.agreed to combine their media operationsinto a new stand-alone company whose assets will include HBO Max, CNN, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DISCA\">Discovery</a>+ and the Warner Bros. movie and TV studios. Last month,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon.com</a>Inc.struck a deal to acquire MGM for $6.5 billionin the hopes of using the famed movie and TV studio’s library and intellectual property to bolster its Prime Video streaming service.</p>\n<p>The deal-making might not be finished.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CMCSA\">Comcast</a>Corp., parent of NBCUniversal andViacomCBSInc.have discussedcreating a streaming partnership for international markets, according to people familiar with the matter.</p>\n<p>While Netflix is steering clear of deals, it is looking to expand into new businesses, particularly gaming.

The company said it is forecasting paid net additions of 3.5 million, compared with 2.2 million in the third quarter of 2020.\nThe pandemic continued to hamper Netflix’s lineup of original content for the quarter, but the company said it expects to have a strong slate for the rest of the year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":202,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":176303599,"gmtCreate":1626858656111,"gmtModify":1703479414578,"author":{"id":"3583099804491703","authorId":"3583099804491703","name":"J5050","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/696e7cbb7e7d1c3bbbbc28f50d995831","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583099804491703","authorIdStr":"3583099804491703"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/176303599","repostId":"1185755047","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185755047","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1626858312,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1185755047?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-21 17:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nio Supplier Say If Chinese Automakers Want To Overtake Tesla, LiDAR Is Key","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185755047","media":"Benzinga","summary":"NIO Inc. LiDAR supplier Innovusion believes radar-based technology is the key for Chinese car compan","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">NIO Inc.</a></b>&nbsp;LiDAR supplier Innovusion believes radar-based technology is the key for Chinese car companies to overtake bigger rival and electric vehicle segment disruptor&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla Motors</a></b>, according to a cnEVpostreport.</p>\n<p><b>What Happened:</b>&nbsp;Bao Junwei, CEO of Innovusion, said LiDAR technology could provide rival automakers key leverage as Tesla focuses on the vision-based technology instead.</p>\n<p>As per Bao, other companies can't match Tesla in vision algorithm and chips at this pount of time but the Musk company doesn't have the advantage gained by an early layout in LiDAR.</p>\n<p>Tesla has recently switched to strictly cameras and stopped using radar sensors.</p>\n<p><b>Why It Matters:</b>&nbsp;The Palo Alto, California-based company’s CEO Elon Musk believes that light or camera-based vision is more accurate than radar as the radar introduces more noise than helpful data in a sensor fusion system.</p>\n<p>Nio’s premium electric sedan ET7, which is expected to begin deliveries in the first quarter of 2022,is equipped withInnovusion’s LiDAR technology.</p>\n<p>Innovision claims its LiDAR has a half a kilometer range and a distance precision of fewer than three centimeters.

It continues to take smaller stakes in robotics related businesses.\nSoftBank has struck sales deals with partners such as Iris Ohyama in Japan and RobotLAB in the U.S. There is a niche market for selling Pepper to corporate clients and in education, Elad Inbar, CEO of RobotLAB, said in an interview.\n“Our job in this ecosystem is to show that there is market demand,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":234,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":176933582,"gmtCreate":1626852806846,"gmtModify":1703479299996,"author":{"id":"3583099804491703","authorId":"3583099804491703","name":"J5050","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/696e7cbb7e7d1c3bbbbc28f50d995831","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583099804491703","authorIdStr":"3583099804491703"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/176933582","repostId":"1151834311","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1151834311","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1626850369,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1151834311?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-21 14:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Moderna Joins AMC, Nvidia, GameStop Among Top WallStreetBets Interests","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1151834311","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Moderna, Inc.. has joined . AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc and  Nvidia Corp. as the stocks seeing hi","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRNA\">Moderna, Inc.</a></b><b>.</b>&nbsp;has joined&nbsp;<b>.</b>&nbsp;<b>AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b> </b><b>Nvidia</b>&nbsp;<b>Corp.</b>&nbsp;as the stocks seeing high interest on Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets forum, even as&nbsp;<b>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</b>&nbsp;SPY 1.43%remained the most-discussed stock on the forum, as of Tuesday night.</p>\n<p><b>What Happened</b>: Exchange-traded fund SPDR S&amp; 500 ETF is seeing the highest interest on the forum with 805 mentions, followed by movie theatre chain AMC Entertainment with 331 mentions during the last 24 hours, data from Quiver Quantitative showed.</p>\n<p>Graphics chipmaker Nvidia and biotechnology company Moderna took the third and fourth spots, having attracted 249 and 236 mentions respectively.</p>\n<p>The other stocks that are trending on the forum include video game retailer<b>GameStop Corp.</b>GME 11.06%, Canada-based cybersecurity company<b>BlackBerry Ltd</b>.BB 7.49%, medical insurance technology company<b>Clover Health Investments Corp.</b>CLOV 0.6%, electric vehicle maker<b>Tesla Inc.</b>TSLA 2.21%, tech giant<b>Apple Inc.</b>AAPL 2.6%and streaming giant<b>Netflix Inc.</b>NFLX 0.23%.</p>\n<p><b>Why It Matters:</b>&nbsp;Nvidia is seeing increased interest from retail investors after the company’s sharesbegan tradingon a four-for-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> split-adjusted basis from Tuesday.</p>\n<p>Moderna’s shares, which are set to join the S&amp;P 500 Index ahead of the market open on Wednesday, declined on Tuesday after four straight days of gains.
