Disney vs Netflix: Which stock will perform best in the Streaming Wars?

For investors focused on the so-called 'streaming wars' the Disney vs Netflix duel epitomises the ups and downs of a highly innovative and fast-expanding sector, where analysts continue to redefine the key benchmarks for success.

Netflix [NASDAQ:NFLX] stock has been doing well recently, despite the tariff tantrums coming out of Washington DC. Investors have seen Netflix shares returning +238% over two years and it is up +87% over the 12 month period. Shares are also up 18% since its last filing, and we think there is more upside to come.

Netflix published its last set of numbers on 18 April for Q1 2025. It reported revenues of $10.5bn and net income of $2.89bn, a +12.5% uptick in revenue. We also saw a substantial rise in earnings per share of 25% when compared to Q1 2024. Netflix has now demonstrated 93 consecutive quarters of quarter-on-quarter income growth.

Netflix certainly looks set to remain a streaming success story for the course of 2025 - how does it stack up against rival Disney, however?
