Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is set to release the highly anticipated second season of "Squid Game" on Dec. 26, adding to an exciting month with its first live NFL games <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41123711/netflix-stock-could-get-boost-from-nfl-games-squid-game-season-2-analyst-says-conte">on Christmas Day.</a>
A Benzinga reader poll shows the second season might face more of an uphill battle for viewers compared to the first season in 2021.
What Happened: Released in September 2021, "Squid Game" <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42305013/squid-game-season-2-includes-new-games-contestant-with-a-crypto-background-revenge-factor-political-overtones">shattered viewership records </a>for Netflix with 1.65 billion hours watched in the first four weeks of availability.
The series became a massive hit and pop culture phenomenon and fans have eagerly been awaiting a second season.
Netflix will premiere all seven episodes of the second season on Dec. 26, beginning at 3 a.m. ET. Benzinga recently polled readers to see how eager people are to watch the new season.
"Will you be watching ‘Squid Game' season 2?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>No, I don't plan to watch: 70%</li>
<li>Yes, I'll binge-watch the entire season when it's out: 21%</li>
<li>Yes, I'll watch each episode as soon as I can: 9%</li>
</ul>
The poll found that Benzinga readers are less excited about the second season compared to the interest generated by the first season.
The day-after-Christmas release could be a double-edged sword for Netflix. While the timing benefits from people being off work, it also coincides with family gatherings that might limit viewership.
Netflix will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42657482/mrbeast-dominates-prime-video-how-youtuber-could-help-amazon-boost-streaming-presence">also be competing</a> with MrBeast's "Beast Games," a record-breaking game show on Amazon.com's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Prime Video. &#8220;Beast Games&#8221; released its first two episodes on Dec. 19 with a third episode coming on Dec. 26. The show features elements similar to the contests featured in &#8220;Squid Game.&#8221;

What's Next: The second season of "Squid Game" will bring back several cast members from the first season. The new season has already been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42395178/golden-globes-2025-nominations-netflix-scores-nods-for-emilia-perez-and-squid-game-comcast-lands-4-wicked-noms">nominated for a Golden Globe</a> and could become a favorite on the awards circuit, given more hype around the show this time.
Returning for the second season is the winner of the game in the first season, Seong Gi-hun (aka Player 456), portrayed on screen by&nbsp;Lee Jung-jae.&nbsp;Director and writer&nbsp;Hwang Dong-Hyuk&nbsp;also returns for the second season.
The second season features new characters and revolves around Gi-hun, who returns to the game three years after the competition to search for the people behind it and shut it down for good, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/squid-game-season-2-explained-hwang-dong-hyuk-lee-jung-jae-1236189235/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deadline</a>.
This time, characters competing for the prize include a former cryptocurrency influencer who loses a large amount of money for his subscribers and himself. The crypto influencer becomes a fugitive before joining the Squid Game competition, according to the report.
Another one of the 400-plus contestants in the games is a woman who made bad investments following the advice of the same cryptocurrency influencer taking part in the games.
Following the second season, a third and final season of the hit show will be released in 2025. Director Hwang said the second and third seasons were written at the same time and both were produced simultaneously. The third season is currently in the post-production process, the director said.
The first season of "Squid Game" has been watched by a total of 330 million viewers and a total of 2.8 billion hours have been streamed since the release, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/squid-game-viewers-netflix-seoul-experience-1236232449/">Variety</a>. The overall metrics and the first four weeks&#8217; totals for the second season will be used to compare the success of the newest season.

Company Priorities for 2025
Looking at both the improvements in the base business and the advances we made with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), we have a lot to be proud of in 2024.
I am even more pleased we accomplished all of this while slashing our net operating loss by more than 30%.
As we look to 2025,
<ul>
<li>We are exploring new opportunities to increase cash flow generated by the ClearUP business.</li>
<li>We look forward to completing the current work with Feinstein Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine.</li>
<li>We are charting disease-specific clinical trials, moving the company closer to securing regulatory approvals for what we expect will be life-changing treatments for patients in need.</li>
<li>We look forward to talking in more detail about the specific target indications as we advance into the next stage of clinical trial work in 2025.</li>
</ul>
We anticipate that the advancement of our clinical programs for ncVNS will be key to increasing long-term shareholder value. In addition, the board and I continue to evaluate a range of options to maximize shareholder returns, including taking the necessary steps to ensure we regain Nasdaq listing compliance.
I would like to recognize the exceptional efforts of the lean and dedicated Tivic Health team. I thank them for their relentless drive and hard work. Together, with our investors, collaborators, and supporters, we are striving to build a company that can transform the future of medicine and make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of people around the world.
We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, and we look forward to continuing this journey with all of you in 2025.

On Sunday, Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), denied rumors that he has planned a $600 million wedding to marry his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez. Bezos and several other celebrities reacted to the since-debunked<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42639012/inside-jeff-bezos-600m-wedding-to-lauren-sanchez-luxe-decor-stars-and-romance"> report on social media.</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
What To Know: The Bezos wedding rumor originated on Saturday with <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14217859/Jeff-Bezos-Lauren-Sanchez-wedding-plan-Aspen-date-is.html">a report</a> from the Daily Mail alleging the couple would marry in a $600 million dollar ceremony at Kevin Costner&#8217;s Dunbar Ranch in Aspen.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Other media outlets picked up the story and billionaire investor Bill Ackman questioned the validity of the report in a response to a story from the NY Post.&nbsp;

Bezos then responded to Ackman's post with a full denial of the rumored wedding.&nbsp;
&#8216;This whole thing is completely false &#8211; none of this is happening,&#8217; he posted on X. &#8216;The old adage &#8220;don&#8217;t believe everything you read&#8221; is even more true today than it ever has been.&#8217;
&#8216;Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on. So be careful out there folks and don&#8217;t be gullible,&#8217; Bezos said.

Elon Musk, currently the richest man in the world, also responded to the social media thread with well-wishes for his rival. Musk said that &#8220;even if one is not present,&#8221; he hopes Bezos holds &#8220;an epic wedding&#8221; in the future. 
Bezos is currently the second-richest man in the world, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">according </a>to Bloomberg, and the men have battled for first place in the past.

What Else: Though Bezos denied rumors of an upcoming Aspen nuptial, he did not give any details about when or where a wedding may take place for the couple. Bezos, 60, and Sanchez, 55, have been engaged since May 2023 and have remained relatively tight-lipped regarding their wedding plans.&nbsp;
&#8220;We're still thinking about the wedding,&#8221; Sanchez told<a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/lauren-sanchez-december-2023-interview-profile"> Vogue</a> in November 2023.
&#8220;What it's going to be. Is it going to be big? Is it going to be overseas? We don't know yet. We've only been engaged five months!&#8221; she said.

However, the real Wall Street darlings are companies that can deliver both high growth and solid profits. These rare companies have pricing power, expand margins over time, and eventually start returning excess capital to shareholders, sending their stocks soaring.



In my experience, some of the best opportunities come from under-the-radar growth stocks that are expanding rapidly, yet remain unknown to mainstream investors. With the right fundamentals, these growth stocks can deliver outsized returns and recover quickly during market downturns as they march steadily toward consistent profitability. Let&rsquo;s take a look at three such growth stocks!



<h2>Cematrix (CTXXF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/concrete-rain-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A photograph of rain droplets on a concrete surface."><div>Source: ReneBittner / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Cematrix (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ctxxf-stock-quote/">CTXXF</a>) is a Canadian company focused on manufacturing and supplying cellular concrete products in North America. These products serve as lightweight backfill for walls, insulation material for oil and gas infrastructure, and grout for various construction purposes. The enterprise can benefit substantially from the construction boom in North America.



Although still a small Canadian firm, I believe the company&rsquo;s upside potential warrants more attention. In fact, CTXXF stock has already been rebounding nicely, up 88% over the past year, but still 59% below its 2021 peak. A stock price of 24 cents per share still appears attractive to me. The company attained profitability in Q3, with <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/CTXXF:OTCMKTS">revenue surging 76% to CAD$20.4 million</a>. I anticipate revenue to potentially double over the coming two years, alongside considerable margin expansion.



Cematrix recently publicized a new CFO and <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4076514-cematrix-announces-new-contracts-worth-67m">$6.7 million in new contracts</a> this month, which could drive substantial growth ahead. With the right execution and strategy, I foresee this cement company becoming a major player in the North American construction materials industry.



<h2>SmartRent (SMRT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/smart_home_a_1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A hand holds a smart phone up with a fancy living room behind it."><div>Source: zhu difeng / ShutterStock.com</div></div>SmartRent (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/smrt-stock-quote/">SMRT</a>) is a smart home automation company. It is becoming popular with landlords and homeowners with smart homes. I believe substantial upside potential lies ahead, as the stock trades sideways after declining in late 2021. Rents and housing prices continue rising alongside income, which will only drive more revenue and net income for the company over the long-run. Indeed, the company&rsquo;s financials already appear poised for a turnaround. <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/SMRT:NYSE">Revenue grew 49% year-over-year to $60.3 million</a>, as profitability quickly comes into focus.



Analysts anticipate profits in 2025 accompanied by revenue expanding around 15%-20% annually moving forward. Revenue is expected to surge from <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/SMRT/earnings/estimates">$273 million in 2024 to $536 million in 2028</a>. The company also possesses $215 million in cash against virtually no debt, providing funds to fuel substantial growth ahead. Moreover, the premium investors pay for exposure to this growth stock seems quite reasonable, at only 2-times forward sales, while <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/software/">software stocks</a> typically trade at much steeper premiums. If SmartRent manages to surpass its earnings targets going forward, I expect SMRT stock to be one of the best-performing growth stocks in this current cycle.



<h2>DLocal (DLO)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/smartphone-mobile-financial-fintech-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Illustration of phone with dollar sign and other graphics symbolizing fintech displayed on and around it, with a blue background. Fintech Stock Bargains"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/ZinetroN</div></div>DLocal (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/dlo-stock-quote/">DLO</a>) is an Uruguayan financial technology firm specializing in cross-border payments. The company&rsquo;s platform links global merchants to emerging markets, enabling receipt of payments from customers and making payments to customers in these regions.



This is another stock that&rsquo;s basically moved sideways over the past year and a half after an initial decline following the post-COVID boom cool-down. My bull case is that substantial growth lies ahead for this fintech stock, which boasts some of the most robust margins in the market &ndash; <a href="https://www.gurufocus.com/stock/DLO/summary">a 23% net margin, exceeding 93% of software industry peers</a>. Its 3-year revenue growth rate sits at 82%, better than 97% of peers. This growth is due to the company&rsquo;s foothold in many fast-growing developing markets.



Moreover, analysts anticipate the company&rsquo;s <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/DLO/earnings/estimates">earnings per share will double from 2024 to 2026</a>, as revenue surges from $886 million to $1.52 billion over the same period. Paying just 24-times forward earnings for this growth seems like a steal. DLocal also carries virtually no debt, while holding $639 million of cash on its balance sheet. If execution remains solid, I expect substantial upside for long-term investors.



<h2>Freee KK (FREKF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/cloud1600-300x169.jpg" alt="an image of a cloud imprinted on a circuit board lit up by blue circuit lights"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Freee KK (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/frekf-stock-quote/">FREKF</a>) is a developer of cloud-based software, including Cloud Accounting, Cloud HR Labor, and Cloud ERP products. This Japanese company has been expanding rapidly in recent quarters, and I believe ample growth remains. <a href="https://www.gurufocus.com/term/rvn_growth_3y/FREKF/3-Year-Revenue-Growth-Rate-Per-Share/Freee-KK">The 3-year annual revenue growth rate sits around 30%</a>, and forward 3-5-year annual revenue growth should linger around the same pace.



The major issue is profitability. Freee KK <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/FREKF:OTCMKTS">reported a -67.4% net margin</a> in Q4, which is quite concerning. However, the company possesses $219 million in cash against only $23 million in debt, sufficient to handle more than two years of losses if they remain constant, which is unlikely. I expect losses to begin falling as the company&rsquo;s top line expands.



Also of note, while Japan has exited its negative interest rate policy, rates are still super low, and any cash crunch could easily be supplemented with leverage thanks to the company&rsquo;s minuscule debt burden. This allows more debt intake going forward, so I view FREKF stock as a promising cloud play for the long-run. Gurufocus estimates the stock&rsquo;s fair price at $43.40 in mid-2025, providing major upside from the current $23 per share price tag, if achieved.



<h2>D2L (DTLIF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/online-education-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="man in headphones writing notes in notebook watching webinar video course"><div>Source: fizkes / Shutterstock.com</div></div>D2L (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/dtlif-stock-quote/">DTLIF</a>) is a global learning innovation firm aiming to reshape education and work by pioneering personalized learning and expanding access to high-quality education regardless of age, ability, or location. Millions worldwide use the company&rsquo;s core technology, including the Brightspace LMS.



The stock has been extremely volatile since going public two years ago. However, recent momentum seems promising. Over the past year, DTLIF stock is up around 44%, and I believe it can continue cruising higher. Online learning continues to grow even without pandemic tailwinds, with many still opting to learn remotely.



The company recently posted 11% year-over-year revenue growth alongside <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/DTLIF:OTCMKTS">shrinking losses, which declined from $97.7 million in 2022 to $18.4 million in 2023</a>. That&rsquo;s impressive progress. I think D2L can quickly expand margins and continue double-digit top-line growth. Analysts agree, expecting the company&rsquo;s <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/DTLIF/earnings/estimates">revenue to hit $452 million in FY2032</a>. With substantial room for margin growth, I see plenty of upside potential if execution remains solid. Notably, D2L also holds $123 million in cash against only $12.6 million in debt.



<h2>Inter &amp; Co. (INTR)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/brazil1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="The Brazilian flag with the sun in the background"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>As I have articulated numerous times, the economic downturn stemming from interest rate hikes has not been isolated to just banks. It has also detrimentally impacted fintech firms and enterprises relying on the banking industry for growth. However, this narrative does not apply universally. 



Brazil is one nation that commenced its rate hike cycle early and has subdued inflation, now entering a rate reduction period. This has been advantageous for the country&rsquo;s fintech and banking sectors, with many Brazil-based fintech companies thriving. One relatively unknown name is Inter &amp; Co. (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/intr-stock-quote/">INTR</a>), which has gained 265% over the past year. I believe substantial upside remains in the years ahead, as its stellar performance is likely to continue.



Inter &amp; Co. is the holding company of Grupo Inter, operating the premier Super App in the Americas. The company offers banking capabilities, investments, credit, insurance, and cross-border solutions. 



Revenue is <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INTR/earnings/estimates">anticipated to continue expanding at a double-digit pace</a> in the forthcoming years. Additionally, robust earnings per share growth of 43% is expected in 2025 and 26% in 2026. Paying merely 15-times forward earnings for such growth still appears to be an attractive proposition. Analysts see Inter &amp; Co. delivering $1.24 billion in revenue in 2024 coupled with 40 cents in earnings per share.



<h2>Network-1 Technologies (NTIP)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/hand-growth-stocks-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Hand pointing up and to the right with blue arrow, symbolizes growth stocks. hypergrowth stocks"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/Lemonsoup14</div></div>Network-1 Technologies (NYSEMKT:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ntip-stock-quote/">NTIP</a>) specializes in intellectual property development and monetization. The company collaborates with patent holders to assist in licensing their innovations. Significantly, the company&rsquo;s &lsquo;930 patent (6,218,930) plays a crucial role in the industry-standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. 



This stock has not been as fortunate as the others on the list. That may be partly due to the fact that Network-1 is one of the more boring stocks when you zoom out. This stock has traded between $2 and $5 per share since 2017, and lingered near the lower end of that band for much of its history.



However, what entices me about this stock is that the small firm still furnishes a dividend with a 4.8% yield, likely because of its impressive 25.4% net income margin. It has negligible debt and <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NTIP">$45 million in cash</a>. If the enterprise can utilize its substantial patent portfolio moving forward and leverage it to accelerate growth, I believe substantial upside lies ahead. It is also trading near its $2 floor. So, I view the stock&rsquo;s downside risk as relatively minimal.
