Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) could get a viewership boost on Christmas Day thanks to the media rights to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42354185/nfl-games-set-thanksgiving-day-records-why-this-is-good-and-bad-news-for-streaming-giant-netflix">two marquee NFL games.</a>
A recent Benzinga poll asks if viewers will be subscribing to Netflix to gain access to the NFL games or watching if they are already a subscriber.
What Happened: Netflix's push into sports and live content is gaining steam with the recent release of a Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match that saw huge demand and the recent announcement that the streamer will be the exclusive home to the 2027 and 2031 Women's World Cups<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42628116/netflix-adds-womens-world-cup-media-rights-from-football-to-futbol-streamer-all-in-on-live-sports"> for American viewers.</a>
On Dec. 25, Netflix will stream two NFL games, the first in a multi-year partnership that will see the streamer air at least one game on Christmas in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
This year's matchups feature four NFL teams that have all secured a spot in the NFL Playoffs and are among the best in the league. Here are the games:
<ul>
<li>1 p.m. ET: Kansas City Chiefs (14-1) at Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5)</li>
<li>4:30 p.m. ET: Baltimore Ravens (10-5) at Houston Texans (9-6)</li>
</ul>
Of the nine NFL teams with 10 or more wins, three are playing on Christmas Day on Netflix. The Chiefs and Texans have won their division, with the Steelers and Ravens both in the playoffs but fighting to win the same division.
Benzinga recently asked to see if subscribers will be watching the games along with their holiday festivities.
"Will you watch Christmas NFL games on Netflix?" 
Here were the results:
<ul>
<li>Yes, I already have Netflix: 39%</li>
<li>No, I don't have Netflix and won't watch: 30%</li>
<li>No, even though I have Netflix: 30%</li>
<li>Yes, I plan to subscribe to Netflix to watch: 1%</li>
</ul>
The largest percentage of readers said they are subscribers and will be watching, getting 39% of the vote. Thirty percent of Netflix subscribers said they won't be watching despite being able to watch the games for free with their current subscription. Thirty percent also said they do not have Netflix and won't subscribe just to gain access to the NFL games.
In total, the poll found that 60% of readers don't plan on watching the NFL games on Christmas Day.

Why It's Important: Netflix saw huge demand for the Paul vs. Tyson fight with more than 60 million households tuning in. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42492251/netflix-ceo-says-paul-tyson-fight-really-phenomenal-strong-demand-for-nfl-game-advertising"> said the company </a>may have left money on the table for advertising during the boxing match.
"If we knew the audience would be that big, we probably would have done a lot more selling on that fight,&#8221; Sarandos said.
While the NFL games might not have as big of an audience as the boxing match, the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs play in one game and Beyoncé is performing at halftime in the other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42354185/nfl-games-set-thanksgiving-day-records-why-this-is-good-and-bad-news-for-streaming-giant-netflix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">could increase the audience</a> compared to normal NFL games.
NFL viewership has been strong during the 2024 season and the Chiefs are one of the most popular teams in America based on viewership figures.
Netflix could win with a potential boost to overall subscriber figures with the exclusive rights to the games, while also gaining important revenue from its ad-supported members.
Oppenheimer analyst Jason Helfstein, who has an Outperform rating,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42512587/netflix-analyst-say-its-only-investable-media-stock-projects-150-million-nfl-christmas-day-boost"> raised the Netflix price target</a> from $825 to $1,065 ahead of the NFL games.
The analyst believes each NFL Christmas Day game could bring in $75 million in advertising revenue for a total of $150 million. The $150 million from advertising would be equal to the reported $150 million Netflix is paying for the rights, making the games a "free acquisition tool," according to Helfstein.
The analyst estimates Netflix has a $2.2 billion advertising opportunity annually for live events based on $223 million per live event and 10 events per year in the future.
&#8220;Therefore, on top of a strong subscriber acquisition tool, live event advertising could also become meaningfully incremental to NFLX,&#8221; Helfstein noted.

Other indicators reinforce the bullish narrative. The 20-day SMA at $34.42 suggests short-term strength, while a Relative Strength Index of 52.02 keeps the stock comfortably out of overbought territory.
Despite an eight-day SMA signaling a slight dip, the long-term trends suggest DJT could be primed for further gains.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Trust Transfer: Ethical Theater Or Genuine Move?</h2>
Adding fuel to the stock's momentum is President-elect Donald Trump's decision to transfer his nearly $4 billion stake in Trump Media to a revocable trust. This move has drawn mixed reactions. Critics argue it falls short of meaningful ethical reform, with Jordan Libowitz, Vice President of Communications for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, describing it as "a superficial gesture toward ethics without making a genuine ethical move."
Trump supporters, however, highlight his history of stepping back from business interests for public service. "He removed himself from his multi-billion-dollar empire to run for office and forewent his government salary," said Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for the Trump-Vance transition team.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Election Hype Fuels DJT Stock</h2>
Traders view DJT as a speculative proxy for Trump's potential influence in the White House. Following his November victory, DJT stock has gained over 10% in the past month, reflecting bullish sentiment.
Whether the Golden Cross indicates lasting growth or election-driven hype, one thing is certain: DJT remains a focal point in the market.

Warren Buffett Says He'd Be ‘Very Happy' To Have This One Word On His Tombstone Describing Him – And It's Not Related To Family Or Investing
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42558080/warren-buffett-says-the-poorest-2-of-earners-live-better-than-john-d-rockefeller-richest-man-in-the-world-people-have-more-money-now">Warren Buffett</a>, the legendary investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, isn't just about stocks and dollar signs. In fact, if you asked him how he'd like to be remembered, his answer might surprise you.&nbsp;
According to a 2017 CNBC article, Buffett said in a Forbes 100th anniversary magazine issue he'd be "very happy" if just one word appeared on his tombstone: Teacher. That's it. Not "Billionaire," not "Investor," not even "Philanthropist." Just Teacher.

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
This sentiment gets to the heart of who Buffett really is. Sure, he's built one of the largest fortunes in history, but he's spent just as much time sharing what he knows with others. Whether he's writing his iconic shareholder letters, giving candid interviews or mentoring young investors, Buffett's always been more about giving wisdom than hoarding secrets.
According to the article, Buffett credits much of his success to the people who taught him – and it's a pretty remarkable list.&nbsp;
His father, Howard H. Buffett, wasn't just the one who introduced him to investing – he was also the source of some of the best advice Buffett ever received: "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 20 minutes to lose it. If you remember that, you'll do things differently." Howard's influence ran deep in Buffett's life. In fact, Buffett credits him with being the reason he even attended college. As he told Forbes, "If he'd been a shoe salesperson, I might be a shoe salesperson now."

Then there's Benjamin Graham, the so-called "Father of Value Investing," whose book The Intelligent Investor Buffett read at age 19 and calls life-changing.&nbsp;
And of course, there was his late wife, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39963533/warren-buffett-says-the-most-important-decision-of-your-life-is-who-you-marry-his-biggest-mistak">Susan Buffett</a>, who he says taught him how to open up emotionally and connect with the world. He often credits Susan as the driving force behind his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41866296/with-warren-buffett-donating-99-of-his-fortune-whats-left-for-his-three-children-well-its-complicated">philanthropic efforts</a>.&nbsp;
But for Buffett, teaching isn't just about business. He's often talked about living by your "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36680376/warren-buffetts-first-wife-said-she-believed-he-viewed-accumulating-wealth-as-a-scorecard-of-success">inner scorecard</a>" – doing what's right and meaningful, regardless of what others think. "The true measure of wealth is how many people love you," he's said, adding that honesty and treating people well have been more valuable to his success than any financial strategy.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
It's this philosophy that defines Buffett's legacy. His annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders are famous for their investing advice and the life lessons they offer. He also strongly believes in philanthropy, pledging to give away the bulk of his wealth and inspiring others to do the same. As co-director of the HBO documentary Becoming Warren Buffett, Peter Kunhardt put it: "Warren believes that honesty has paid off much more than being sleazy or dishonest ever could."
So, when Buffett says he wants to be remembered as a teacher, it's not just about passing on investing tips. It's about making a lasting impact, shaping people&#8217;s thinking and improving the world – one lesson at a time.

Mike Ippolito of Blockworks sees a resurging Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), an evolution for Solana&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) and the expanding role of stablecoins and AI as key trends in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42638493/crypto-analyst-2025-will-continue-to-be-a-great-year-for-bitcoin">crypto in 2025</a>.
What Happened: In a <a href="https://x.com/MikeIppolito_/status/1870938950396731667">thread</a> on X on Sunday, Ippolito said he believes the U.S. will dominate the global crypto scene, with domestic conferences surpassing Asian counterparts in size and influence. 
He further predicted Ethereum dissenters to diminish, boosting sentiment and price recovery. 
Efforts to scale Ethereum's Layer-1 will remain minimal and stablecoins will outnumber Ethereum 2:1 on Layer-2 solutions, with valuations exceeding $450 billion.
Solana's cycle will continue, but inflation concerns will prompt changes to its issuance policy, while AI-focused tokens and use cases will gain momentum despite early challenges.
