The highly anticipated vice-presidential debate between J.D. Vance and Tim Walz was watched by 43.2 million as one of the key television events ahead of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election.</a>
Here's a look at how the viewership compares to other debates and which media networks had the highest figures.
What Happened: Tuesday night's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41107455/walz-vs-vance-vp-debate-betting-odds-what-candidate-is-favored-plus-how-to-watch-likely-to"> vice-presidential debate </a>could be the final debate for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates, with just over a month until voting day.
Hosted by Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) owned CBS News, the debate was 90 minutes with several commercial breaks.
According <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/vance-walz-vp-debate-tv-ratings-1236022692/">to </a>The Hollywood Reporter, 43.15 million people watched the vice-presidential debate across 15 networks.
Tuesday's viewership was down 25.2% from the total of 57.92 million for the 2020 vice presidential debate, which featured Mike Pence and Kamala Harris.
The official viewership figure could be bad news for those who bet on the total on prediction market Polymarket. The odds for 40 million to 45 million viewers stood at 14%, while the odds for under 40 million were 18%. When combined, this gave a 32% chance that the debate would draw 45 million or fewer viewers, making it a less likely outcome compared to higher estimates like 60 million and above.
On Polymarket, users can deposit funds using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) via the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) network, or directly from a crypto account with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). In each betting market, the winning option pays out at $1.
The last 11 vice-presidential debates (1976 through 2020) have averaged around 46.5 million viewers, with no debate taking place in 1980. This year's vice-presidential debate ranked below the historical average.
The 2008 vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin was the most watched, with 69.9 million viewers. The 1996 vice-presidential debate between Al Gore and Jack Kemp saw a low of 26.6 million viewers.
Two presidential debates have taken place in 2024 with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/06/39563409/heres-how-many-people-watched-the-2024-presidential-debate-and-how-fox-beat-cnn-at-its-own-game">June debate between</a> Biden and Donald Trump having 51.3 million viewers and a September debate between Harris and Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40840076/trump-vs-harris-presidential-debate-viewership-tops-trump-biden-total-but-falls-short-of-re">having 67.1 million viewers.</a>
The 2024 viewership failed to reach the same levels as the 73.1 million viewers who tuned in for the only 2020 presidential debate between Biden and Trump.
The first debate between Hillary Clinton and Trump in 2016 set a record with 84 million viewers. Two additional debates saw 66.5 million and 71.6 million viewers, respectively, ranking among the most-watched presidential debates ever.

</ul>
Media Winners: The report said the majority of the 43.15 million viewers came from the Big Four broadcast networks and the three largest cable news outlets.
Around 90% of the viewers were split between FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.
While CBS was the host of the debate, they allowed simulcasting of the event.
Here's a look at some of the viewership figures by network:
<ul>
<li>CBS: 9.57 million viewers</li>
<li>Fox News, owned by Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>): 7.93 million viewers</li>
<li>ABC, owned by The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>): 6.35 million viewers</li>
<li>NBC, owned by Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>): 5.67 million viewers</li>
<li>MSNBC, owned by Comcast: 4.88 million viewers</li>
<li>CNN, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>): 3.37 million viewers</li>
<li>Fox, owned by Fox: 2.48 million viewers</li>
<li>Fox Business, owned by Fox: 276,000 viewers</li>
</ul>
The rest of the viewership was split between various media outlets, according to the report.
CBS was the likely winner of the debate as the host and with the highest viewership. With the commercial breaks, the media network was likely able to charge a premium for advertising space.
The media network could also benefit from an upcoming "60 Minutes"<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/41011819/trump-harris-could-appear-in-back-to-back-60-minutes-interviews-could-paramount-stock-be-a-"> election special airing </a>Monday Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. ET. The special will feature an interview with Harris, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41133540/trump-backs-out-of-planned-60-minutes-interview-ex-presidents-campaign-says-cbs-asked-for-unpreceden">Trump backing out</a> of an appearance on the episode.
Fox could also be a winner, as it has not hosted any of its own debates, but its viewership figures for the simulcast broadcasts on Fox News and the Fox broadcast channel have performed well.

Vance Vs. Walz: Here's How Many People Watched VP Debate

As we near the end of what has been a fairly solid Q3 for the equity markets, we are left with the eternal question for investors: &ldquo;What&rsquo;s next?&rdquo;
We now have the Fed&rsquo;s first rate cut in the rearview mirror, with multiple rate cuts expected into early 2025.&nbsp;We also have a highly contested election season, a rapidly escalating situation in the Middle East, and earnings season which is only a couple weeks away.
The beauty of technical analysis is that price action should compensate for investor expectations for all of the above.&nbsp;If investors are excited, nervous, euphoric, despondent, or anywhere in between, the interplay between buyers and sellers can tell us a great deal about investor sentiment.
With that in mind, here are some of the individual stock charts I&rsquo;ll be watching as we transition into the fourth quarter.
<h3>Comcast Corp.</h3>
As I reviewed hundreds of charts to eventually settle in on just ten to review, I was struck by the fact that five out of the ten are in the same sector: Communication Services.&nbsp;From Magnificent 7 names to old telecoms, there are plenty of improving charts in this sector.
<img alt="" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u1465983/cmcsa_2024-09-27.png" style="height:312px; width:624px" />
While many stocks could be considered overextended after this week, Comcast (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cmcsa#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) is definitely not one of the them.&nbsp;This chart features a classic rotation from a distribution phase (lower highs and lower lows), through a consolidation phase (even highs and lows), into a new accumulation phase (higher highs and higher lows).
This week, CMCSA finally pushed back above its 200-day moving average, as well as the previous peak from mid-July.&nbsp;If this stock can follow through above the $42 level, we could easily see a retest of the January 2024 peak around $46 and beyond.
<h3>Meta Platforms, Inc.</h3>
One of the key questions for October is whether the market will remain strong despite the normal seasonal weakness around this time of year.&nbsp;Meta Platforms, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/meta#NASDAQ">META</a>)&nbsp;may be the best chart to watch to determine whether our benchmarks will remain in a bullish phase.
<img alt="" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u1465983/meta_2024-09-27.png" style="height:312px; width:624px" />
Meta has tested resistance in the $520 to $540 range since first arriving at these levels in March, and a couple weeks ago that level was finally eclipsed.&nbsp;Any time a stock breaks above a well-established resistance level, I want to see it hold that breakout point on any subsequent pullbacks.
META ended the week in an overbought condition, with the RSI remaining above 70.&nbsp;This often suggests a pullback is imminent, particularly when the RSI dips back below this overbought level.&nbsp;Will Meta Platforms hold $520 as well as the 50-day moving average on a pullback? If so, then this bull market could see unusual strength in arguably the weakest of the 12 months from a seasonal perspective.
<h3>V.F.Corp</h3>
Next is V.F. Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vfc#NYSE">VFC</a>), my first selection outside of the Communication Services sector.&nbsp;This producer of apparel and footwear brands, including Timberland and The North Face, has entered a new uptrend phase off a major low back in March.
<img alt="" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u1465983/vfc_2024-09-27.png" style="height:312px; width:624px" />
While VFC has already gained about 80% off the March low, the bullish phase appears very much still in place here.&nbsp;We can see a consistent pattern of higher highs and higher lows, and the price is now trending higher above two upward-sloping moving averages.&nbsp;The RSI indicator tells us the momentum is strong but not excessive.&nbsp;I tend to think of charts like this as &ldquo;innocent until proven guilty,&rdquo; and as a trend-follower that means I follow the trend until the chart tells me to do otherwise!

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With CMCSA

The 2024 National Football League season enters Week 4 with five of the 32 teams holding a perfect 3-0 record, including the Kansas City Chiefs, hoping to become the first NFL team to win <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/07/39752864/bettors-favor-kansas-city-chiefs-for-super-bowl-three-peat-heres-a-look-at-how-states-are-">three straight Super Bowls.</a>
Here's a look at the weekly betting odds, trends to watch and the media companies benefiting from strong viewership.
Week 4 Betting Odds: Week 4 features 16 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nfl">NFL games </a>across Thursday, Sunday and Monday before bye weeks kick in that will see fewer weekly games.
Here are the week 4 matchups and the betting odds from sportsbook DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) with the team's records in parentheses.
<ul>
<li>Dallas Cowboys (1-2) -5 at New York Giants (1-2)</li>
<li>New Orleans Saints (2-1) at Atlanta Falcons (1-2) -2.5</li>
<li>Cincinnati Bengals (0-3) -4.5 at Carolina Panthers (1-2)</li>
<li>Los Angeles Rams (1-2) at Chicago Bears (1-2) -3</li>
<li>Minnesota Vikings (3-0) at Green Bay Packers (2-1) -3</li>
<li>Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3) at Houston Texans (2-1) -6.5</li>
<li>Pittsburgh Steelers (3-0) -1.5 at Indianapolis Colts (1-2)</li>
<li>Denver Broncos (1-2) at New York Jets (2-1) -7.5</li>
<li>Philadelphia Eagles (2-1) -1.5 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1)</li>
<li>Washington Commanders (2-1) at Arizona Cardinals (1-2) -3.5</li>
<li>New England Patriots (1-2) at San Francisco 49ers (1-2) -10.5</li>
<li>Kansas City Chiefs (3-0) -7 at Los Angeles Chargers (2-1)</li>
<li>Cleveland Browns (1-2) at Las Vegas Raiders (1-2) -2</li>
<li>Buffalo Bills (3-0) at Baltimore Ravens (1-2) -2.5</li>
<li>Tennessee Titans (0-3) at Miami Dolphins (1-2) -1</li>
<li>Seattle Seahawks (3-0) at Detroit Lions (2-1) -3.5</li>
</ul>
A quick look at the betting odds shows three of the five undefeated 3–0 teams are underdogs in Week 4 with the Vikings, Bills and Seahawks all predicted to lose by sportsbooks. The other undefeated teams, the Steelers and Chiefs, are favored by 1.5 and 7 points in their respective matches.
With no 3–0 teams playing each other, the week could once again end with five unbeaten teams.
There are three 0-3 teams (Titans, Jaguars and Bengals). None of the three teams play each other, which means each NFL team could have a win after Week 4. The Bengals are the only favorite of the three teams this week.
The Cowboys&#8217; and Giants&#8217; opening game stands out to bettors based on one interesting trend. Starting Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, a first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, has never won a non-Sunday NFL game. Jones is 0-5 on <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/daniel-jones-record-on-thursday-night-football">Thursdays </a>and 0-7 on <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/daniel-jones-record-on-monday-night-football">Mondays</a>. Jones is also 1-13 in NFL Primetime games.
Two big betting trends have emerged for the current NFL season: heavy favorites are unable to cover the spread, and the public's favorite bets are struggling.
Sports betting reporter Ben Fawkes <a href="https://x.com/BFawkes22/status/1839329630991343875">said </a>underdogs of 5.5 points or more are against the spread and 10-4 overall. The Jets, 49ers, Texans and Chiefs are all favored by more than six points.
The public's favorite bets for the week with DraftKings, according to Fawkes,<a href="https://x.com/BFawkes22/status/1838904442592047375"> </a>are the following:
<ul>
<li>Cowboys -6 (79%)</li>
<li>Steelers -1.5 (79%)</li>
<li>Rams +3 (74%)</li>
<li>Vikings +2.5 (67%)</li>
<li>Eagles -2.5 (67%)</li>
</ul>
Bettors should also be aware that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/09/41053573/hurricane-helene-disrupts-flights-sports-events-disney-operations-affected-regions-stocks-to-watch">Hurricane Helene could impact</a> several NFL games with high winds and heavy rain. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and Miami Dolphins all host games and could be in the storm's path.

Here's a look at the betting odds and media companies that could benefit in the third week of the 2024 NFL season.
Week 3 Betting Odds: Week 3 features 16 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40886493/nfl-games-dominate-week-1-ratings-start-week-2-with-a-bang-here-these-companies-might-benef">NFL games </a>across Thursday, Sunday and Monday and will see two matchups of 2-0 perfect teams.
Here are the week 3 matchups and the betting odds from sportsbook DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) with the team's records in parentheses.
<ul>
<li>New England Patriots (1-1) at New York Jets (1-1) -6</li>
<li>Denver Broncos (0-2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) -6.5</li>
<li>Los Angeles Chargers (2-0) at Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0) -1.5</li>

<li>Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2) at Buffalo Bills (2-0) -5</li>
<li>Washington Commanders (1-1) at Cincinnati Bengals (0-2) -7.5</li>
</ul>
A quick look at the betting odds shows five of the away teams favored, down from the six away teams favored in week two and up from two away teams favored in the first week.
The third week features the 2-0 matchups between the Chargers and Steelers and the Texans vs. the Vikings. BetMGM's John Ewing <a href="https://x.com/johnewing/status/1836214185673248852">notes </a>that in the last 10 years, underdogs are 35-20-1 against the spread when undefeated teams play each other.
None of the Week 3 matchups are between 0-2 teams, which means there could still be nine 0-3 teams after the week is over as these teams fight to get a win on their record.
Bettors may focus on 0-2 teams desperate for a win. Ewing noted that 0-2 teams are 52-33-1 against the spread in Week 3 over the past decade.
Thursday night's game kicks off with a big spread of six points, and sports betting reporter Ben Fawkes <a href="https://x.com/BFawkes22/status/1836766403648483476" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notes </a>that it will be the first time the Jets are favored against the Patriots in 25 games. This will end the longest active head-to-head streak of two teams against each other.
Sports betting reporter Evan Abrams <a href="https://x.com/EvanHAbrams/status/1835526810903138789">notes </a>that underdogs of 6+ points are 8-0 against the spread through the first two weeks, marking the best start for big underdogs in NFL history.
According to Fawkes, at DraftKings, the most bets on teams against the spread are the Chiefs -3.5 (81% of bets), Saints -2.5 (78%), Bengals -7.5 (77%), Raiders -5.5 (77%), and 49ers -7 (76%).

Disney could be the big winner for the week with two Monday Night Football games across its networks. Comcast also stands to benefit with a primetime matchup featuring the Chiefs. While Taylor Swift could be in attendance to watch boyfriend Travis Kelce, the Chiefs remain a popular team for viewership regardless. 
The Chiefs&#8217; first two games of the season are the most-watched NFL games, drawing 28 million viewers in Week 1 and 27.9 million in Week 2.
Comcast has two of the top five most watched NFL games through the first two weeks, with CBS, Fox and Disney each having one game on the list.

Netflix Hits New 52-Week Highs, Engagement Report Shows 'Bridgerton,' International Titles Dominate Viewership

"Saturday Night Live" kicks off its 50th anniversary season on Sept. 28. While the host and musical guest have not been announced, crypto bettors are placing wagers on whether Vice President Kamala Harris will make an appearance during one of the show&#8217;s skits involving the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>  
What Happened: Prediction market Polymarket <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/will-kamala-go-on-snl?tid=1723144080845">lists </a>the odds of Harris coming on "Saturday Night Live" before the 2024 election at 51%. The odds hit 97% back on Aug. 5 and were trading over 70% earlier this month.
On <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/polymarket">Polymarket</a>, users can deposit funds using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) via the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) network, or directly from a crypto account with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). In each betting market, the winning option pays out at $1.
Whether or not Harris appears on future SNL episodes, it has already been announced that former cast member Maya Rudolph is set to return for season 50 to portray Harris. 
Rudolph, a cast member from 2000 to 2007, has been back on the show for this portrayal multiple times and won an Emmy Award in 2020 for her role as Harris.
It was also reported that actor and frequent SNL host Steve Martin turned down the opportunity to portray Harris' running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Neither Harris, nor SNL, will likely confirm an upcoming appearance. But the current vice president would be far from the first cameo.
Political figures are often featured in skits alongside the people who portray them. On Nov. 8, 2015, then-candidate Donald Trump hosted an episode and appeared alongside Taran Killam and Darrell Hammond for his opening monologue. 
See below.

</div>
</figure>
Trump also hosted an episode in 2004. His relationship with the comedy hit soured in recent years with the former president criticizing how actor Alec Baldwin portrayed him.
"<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/snl">Saturday Night Live</a>" also parodied<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/12/30134591/seems-like-a-scam-and-in-many-ways-it-is-saturday-night-live-trolls-donald-trump-nft-colle"> Trump's NFTs </a>and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37325976/donald-trump-gold-sneakers-get-saturday-night-live-parody-treatment-white-men-can-trump-bas"> sneaker launches</a> as cash grabs.
Among the other presidents who appeared on SNL include Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush and Barack Obama. Other political figures to appear on the show include Bob Dole, Al Gore, Ralph Nader, John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin.
A Harris appearance on SNL could boost the candidate&#8217;s exposure ahead of Election Day. Bill Clinton&#8216;s appearance on "The Arsenio Hall Show" in 1992, for example, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/23/05/32581204/desantis-declares-presidential-bid-with-musk-on-twitter-spaces-social-media-becomes-pivotal-">served as a key moment</a> that helped the then-Governor of Arkansas win over young voters ahead of his presidential election win.
SNL airs on NBC, a unit of Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>).

Will Kamala Harris Appear On Saturday Night Live Before 2024 Election? Polymarket Prediction Market Says...

Two weeks of the 2024 National Football League season are almost in the books with soaring interest from fans around the world, which could benefit media companies that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/10/35320588/nfl-viewership-dominates-ratings-for-broadcast-streaming-with-or-without-taylor-swift-fans-">have NFL rights.</a>
What Happened: Viewership figures are in for the first week of the NFL season along with the first "Thursday Night Football" game from Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) streaming platform Prime Video, which kicked off<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40841727/nfl-week-2-betting-odds-media-stocks-to-watch-will-josh-allen-stay-perfect-on-thursdays-can"> the second week.</a>
The first week saw NFL games average 21 million viewers, setting the highest opening-week average on record for the league.
Among the media companies that benefitted from the opening week of the NFL season were Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>), Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>), Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>) and The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>).
Comcast had three prime-time games during the first week with the opening game on Sept. 5, a Peacock streaming exclusive on Sept. 6 and the opening weekend's Sunday Night Football game. Viewership for the opening kickoff game was 29.2 million, up 9% to last year's kickoff game, as <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/tv-ratings-nfl-returns-in-dominating-form-1236001230/">reported </a>by The Hollywood Reporter.
The Friday night Peacock exclusive game had an average of 14 million viewers. The opening Sunday Night Football game was watched by an average of 22.8 million people across NBC and Peacock.
Disney saw 20.5 million viewers for the first Monday Night Football game of the season across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and streaming platforms.
CBS and Fox also saw strong viewership for the Sunday afternoon games with Fox averaging an impressive 23.9 million viewers for the late Sunday afternoon national game between the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns, which was Tom Brady's Fox broadcast debut for broadcasting.
The second week of the NFL season kicked off with a ban with Amazon's first 2024 game seeing an average of 14.96 million viewers. The figure was the third largest Thursday Night Football game for Amazon ever and significantly ahead of the company's 2023 season average viewership of 11.8 million viewers.

Why It's Important: Media companies continue to shell out millions of dollars for national sports rights, especially the NFL.
The strong opening week viewership show exactly why, as having the rights to key NFL games can help with advertising revenue and also boost streaming subscribers.
In 2023, 93 of the top 100 most watched shows were NFL games, according to data from Nielsen. A <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/most-watched-shows-2023-ncis-oscars-blue-bloods-super-bowl-yellowstone-1235854795/">report </a>from Variety showed that 45 of the top 100 most watched primetime broadcasts in 2023 were NFL games.
While Disney, Fox and Paramount have benefitted from NFL rights for many years, Comcast could be one of the biggest beneficiaries for the 2024 season with the extra primetime game in the first week and the potential boost to its Peacock streaming platform.
Amazon signed a big streaming-only deal with the NFL that has benefitted the company with additional branding boost for Prime Video and also led to more sign-ups for the streaming platform.
The streaming company's NFL deal also led to other streaming companies ready to commit more to live sports rights, including rival streaming platform Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
After years of focusing on what it calls sports adjacent programming of sports docuseries and specials, Netflix is now investing more in live sports content. The streaming giant will air its first NFL games in the 2024 season with two highly anticipated Christmas day matchups.
Netflix will stream the Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET and the Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET on Christmas Day. The games could provide a boost to Netflix's subscriber count, particularly its ad-supported plan which has been a large company focus.
For the NFL, media partners mean big dollars. For media partners, the NFL means big viewership and advertising money. A potential win-win for all parties involved.

NFL Games Dominate Week 1 Ratings, Start Week 2 With A Bang: These Companies Might Benefit

The 2024 National Football League season continues with a second week featuring three primetime games and all 32 teams in action, including the Kansas City Chiefs, who are hoping to become the first NFL team to win<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/07/39752864/bettors-favor-kansas-city-chiefs-for-super-bowl-three-peat-heres-a-look-at-how-states-are-"> three straight Super Bowls.</a>
Here's a look at the betting odds and media companies that could benefit in the second week of the 2024 NFL season.
Week 2 Betting Odds: The Chiefs remain the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40694176/nfl-week-1-betting-odds-national-tv-games-can-comcast-win-will-home-teams-have-the-spotligh"> betting favorite to win</a> Super Bowl LIX as the top NFL team for the season after an impressive opening week win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Here are the week 2 matchups and the betting odds from sportsbook DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) with the teams records in parentheses.
<ul>
<li>Buffalo Bills (1-0) at Miami Dolphins (1-0) -2.5</li>
<li>Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) at Detroit Lions (1-0) -7.5</li>
<li>Las Vegas Raiders (0-1) at Baltimore Ravens (1-0) -8.5</li>
<li>San Francisco 49ers (1-0) -5 at Minnesota Vikings (1-0)</li>
<li>Los Angeles Chargers (1-0) -6 at Carolina Panthers (0-1)</li>
<li>New Orleans Saints (1-0) at Dallas Cowboys (1-0) -6</li>
<li>Indianapolis Colts (1-0) -2.5 at Green Bay Packers (1-0)</li>
<li>New York Jets (0-1) -4 at Tennessee Titans (0-1)</li>

<li>Chicago Bears (1-0) at Houston Texans (1-0) -6.5</li>
<li>Atlanta Falcons (0-1) at Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) -6.5</li>
</ul>
A quick look at the betting odds shows that sportsbooks are giving away teams more love this week, with six away teams favored. This compares to Week 1 where only two away teams were favored, and five away teams ended up winning.
The second week also features four matchups between teams that failed to win their opening games, with each team fighting to avoid an early 0-2 start to the season.
At DraftKings, these are the top five teams getting the most action against the spread, <a href="https://x.com/BFawkes22/status/1833845967872819268">according </a>to sports betting writer Ben Fawkes:
<ul>
<li>Chargers -6.5%, 90%</li>
<li>Eagles -6.5, 87%</li>
<li>Commanders -1.5, 86%</li>
<li>Ravens -9, 84%</li>
<li>49ers -6, 83%</li>
</ul>
In week 1 several of the most bet on teams lost against the spread with top favorite the Bengals -8.5 losing outright. BetMGM's John Ewing <a href="https://x.com/johnewing/status/1833520555670311427">said </a>teams with 50% or more bets on them went 6-10 against the spread in week 1.
For Thursday night's opening game featuring the Bills and Dolphins, Ewing <a href="https://x.com/johnewing/status/1834256907374096601">said </a>Bills quarterback Josh Allen is 6-0 overall and 4-2 against the spread in Thursday games.

Media Stocks on Watch: NFL viewership was up 12% year-over-year in the first week of the season, as <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/nfl-week-1-sets-viewership-record-with-an-average-of-21-million/">reported </a>by FrontOfficeSports.
A rare Friday game between the Packers and Eagles was watched by 14 million people, with the game being exclusive on the Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) Peacock streaming platform.
The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) recorded 20.4 million viewers for the first Monday Night Football game, which was down 10% from last year's record-setting debut, but was the second most-watched Week 1 Monday Night Football game since 2006.
Here are the national primetime television games for the second week of the NFL season:
<ul>
<li>Thursday, Sept. 12, 8:15 p.m. ET: Bills, Dolphins on Prime Video, a unit of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)</li>

<li>Monday, Sept. 16, 8:15 p.m. ET: Falcons, Eagles on ESPN</li>
</ul>
Of the six teams featured in the primetime games, five won their first week game, setting up some highly anticipated week 2 matchups. 
The Sunday 1 p.m. ET and 4 p.m. ET games will be broadcast by&nbsp;Paramount Global&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) unit CBS and Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>) unit FOX.
Coverage will vary by location. In Week 1, CBS and Fox games averaged 18.4 million viewers per game—the highest opening-week Sunday afternoon figure since 2016 and a 21% increase over last year&#8217;s opening week.

In today's fast-paced and highly competitive business world, it is crucial for investors and industry followers to conduct comprehensive company evaluations. In this article, we will delve into an extensive industry comparison, evaluating Comcast (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) in relation to its major competitors in the Media industry.

<h3>Comcast Background</h3>
Comcast is made up of three parts. The core cable business owns networks capable of providing television, internet access, and phone services to 63 million US homes and businesses, or nearly half of the country. About 50% of the locations in this territory subscribe to at least one Comcast service. Comcast acquired NBCUniversal from General Electric in 2011. NBCU owns several cable networks, including CNBC, MSNBC, and USA, the NBC network, the Peacock streaming platform, several local NBC affiliates, Universal Studios, and several theme parks.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1726066845_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio provides insights into the proportion of debt a company has in relation to its equity and asset value.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.

<ul>
<li>
In the context of the debt-to-equity ratio, Comcast holds a middle position among its top 4 peers.
</li>
<li>
This indicates a moderate level of debt relative to its equity with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.18, which implies a relatively balanced financial structure with a reasonable debt-equity mix.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Comcast, the PE, PB, and PS ratios are all high compared to its peers in the Media industry, indicating that the stock may be overvalued based on these metrics.

워너 브라더스 디스커버리(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>)는 90억 달러의 상각에 직면하여 주가가 10% 이상 급락했다. 이는 디스커버리(Discovery)와의 합병이 예상만큼 성과를 거두지 못했다는 이 회사의 인식에 따른 것이다.
워너 브라더스는 디스커버리, 90억 달러를 상각하여 주가가 10% 이상 급락 하는 등 합병이 실패했다는 것을 깨달았습니다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 2021년 AT&amp;T와 디스커버리 사이의 430억 달러 규모의 거래로 설립된 워너 브라더스 디스커버리는 지난달 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/07/39838603/warner-bros-discovery-shares-are-surging-thursday-as-ceo-considers-asset-sales-spinoff" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">분리 아이디어를</a> 내놓았다. 이 결정은 이 합병이 기대했던 결과를 얻지 못했다는 것을 이 회사가 깨닫는 신호였다.
이 회사는 현재 TV 자산이 처음 예상한 것만큼 가치가 없다는 사실을 인정하면서 90억 달러의 회계 손실을 흡수했으며, 이는 합병 실패 주장을 더욱 확고히 했다.
워너 브라더스 디스커버리는 <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>의 논평 요청에 즉시 응답하지 않았다.
CEO인 데이비드 자슬라프(David Zaslav)는 실적 결산에서 &#8220;2년 전 기존 미디어 기업의 시장 가치와 일반적인 조건은 오늘날과 상당히 달랐다&#8221;고 말했다.
&#8220;이러한 손상은 이를 인정하고 우리의 보유 가치와 미래 전망을 더 잘 일치시킨다.&#8221;
이번 평가액 감소은 다가오는 시즌 이후 더 이상 전미 농구 협회(NBA) 경기를 방송하지 않을 것이라는 사실에 크게 기인한다. NBA는 이제 월트 디즈니(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NASDAQ">DIS</a>), 컴캐스트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) 및 아마존닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39955759/nba-chooses-new-broadcast-partners-warner-bros-stock-falls">760억 달러, 11년치의 미디어 권리 계약</a>을 체결했다.
이 소식은 목요일 시장 전 거래에서 회사 주가를 11% 이상 하락시키는 원인이 되었다. 그러나 시장은 이미 회사의 부진을 주가에 반영했기 때문에 월스트리트의 반응은 상대적으로 차분했다.
한때 850억 달러의 가치가 있었던 타임 워너(Time Warner)는 이제 자슬라프가 &#8220;레거시 사업의 어려운 상황&#8221;이라고 표현한 가운데 190억 달러로 떨어졌다. 주가는 2022년 상장 이후 68.49% 하락했고 올해 들어 현재까지 33.88% 하락했다.
TNT, TBS, TLC와 같은 기존 TV 네트워크들의 지속적인 쇠퇴에도 불구하고 워너 브라더스 디스커버리의 CEO인 자슬라프는 이 회사의 유망한 미래에 대해 투자자들을 안심시켰다.
자슬라프는 또한 통합에 관심을 보였으며 특히 최근 뉴스에 따른 시장 가치 하락을 고려할 때 이 회사가 잠재적인 인수 대상이 될 수 있다는 소문을 불러일으켰다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 이 90억 달러의 상각은 주가 하락과 기존 TV 네트워크의 어려움으로 어려움을 겪고 있는 워너 브라더스 디스커버리에게 큰 타격이다. 이 회사는 이전에도 분리를 고려했으나 이 계획은 포기됐다. 새로운 전략은 폴란드 방송사나 게임 사업 부문과 같은 이 회사의 소규모 부분을 매각하는 것이라고 파이낸셜 타임스(Financial Times)가 <a href="http://www.ft.com/content/2ea08a79-b569-4349-8ee8-993ba5599179" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>했다.
지난 7월 초 자슬라프는 기업의 통합 및 운영 개선 노력을 지원하기 위해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39727825/bidens-anti-trust-moves-against-apple-microsoft-and-meta-backfire-in-race-with-trump-warner-bros-dis" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">기업 친화적인 사장</a>이 필요하다고 밝혔다. TV 네트워크들에 대한 초과 지불과 그에 따른 상각을 인정하면 이 회사의 미래가 더욱 복잡해질 수 있다.
한편 워너 브라더스 디스커버리는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40234107/warner-bros-discovery-stock-drops-on-worse-than-expected-q2-results">분기별 매출</a>을 97억 1,300만 달러로 보고했는데, 이는 분석가 합의 추정치인 100억 7,100만 달러를 3.55% 하회하고 지난해 같은 기간보다 6.23% 감소한 수치이다. 이 회사는 주당 4.07달러의 GAAP 손실을 보고했다.
주가 움직임 워너 브라더스 디스커버리의 주식은 수요일 주당 7.71달러로 1.18% 상승했다. 이 주식은 목요일 프리마켓에서 11.30% 하락했다.

2024년 하계 올림픽이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/olympics" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">7월 26일</a> 파리에서 개막하는 가운데 앞으로 2주 동안 수백만 명의 시선이 TV에 쏠릴 것이다.
2024년 하계 올림픽으로 인해 관심과 재정 상태가 향상될 수 있는 6개 기업들을 살펴보겠다.
컴캐스트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>): 이 미디어 회사는 하계 올림픽에 대한 권리를 갖고 있으며 2주 동안 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39904647/comcasts-paris-olympics-bet-for-boosting-peacocks-viewership-report">피콕(Peacock) 스트리밍 플랫폼</a>에 중점을 둘 것이다. 모든 이벤트는 NBC의 프라임 타임 네트워크 방송과 함께 피콕에서 스트리밍된다.
이 하계 올림픽에는 수영, 육상, 체조, 남자 농구 등 미국 시청자들이 즐겨 시청하는 최고의 경기가 포함된다. 미국과 개최국인 프랑스 간의 시차를 감안할 때, 스포츠 팬들과 올림픽 시청자들은 프라임타임 재방송 전에 경기 결과가 미리 알려져 김을 빼는 대신 실시간으로 시청하기 위해 추가 비용을 들여 피콕을 구독할 수 있다.
피콕의 사장인 켈리 캠벨(Kelly Campbell)은 &#8220;이것은 피콕에게 결정적인 순간이 될 것이다&#8221;고 말했다.
애초에 존재하지 않던 시장을 창출한 기업들
에어비앤비(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>): 여행사는 2주간의 행사 동안 수십만 명의 사람들을 수용할 수 있는 올림픽의 혜택을 누릴 수 있다. <a href="https://news.airbnb.com/bookings-in-the-paris-region-during-the-olympic-games-up-400/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">6월</a>에 회사는 파리 지역 숙소가 전년 대비 40% 증가했고 올림픽 기간 동안 이 지역에서 예약된 숙박 수가 400% 증가했다고 밝혔다.
당시 에어비앤비는 올림픽 기간 동안 여행을 예약한 게스트의 50% 이상이 3인 이상의 가족 또는 그룹이었다고 밝혔는데, 이는 회사를 통해 집이나 아파트를 예약하는 것의 가치를 부각시킬 수 있다.
최근 CNBC와의 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkLNZ7Mbg6U">인터뷰</a>에서 에어비앤비의 CEO이자 공동 창업자인 브라이언 체스키(Brian Chesky)는 하계 올림픽에서 에어비앤비의 아이콘 프로그램이 전시되는 것의 중요성을 강조했다. 이 CEO는 아이콘 프로그램이 브랜딩에 관한 것이며 에어비앤비가 단순한 숙박 장소가 아니라 &#8220;경험에 관한 것&#8221;임을 강조한다고 말했다.
체스키는 &#8220;이것은 에어비앤비 역사상 가장 큰 행사&#8221;라고 말했다.
체스키는 에어비앤비가 회사 설립 당시 &#8220;이벤트를 위해 설계되었다&#8221;고 CNBC에 상기시켰다. 체스키는 에어비앤비를 통해 하계 올림픽을 찾는 게스트들의 전체 경제 효과 추정치는 약 10억 달러에 달한다고 덧붙였다.
앤하이저부시 인베브(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>): 버드 라이트(Bud Light) 브랜드에 대한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/02/36990137/trump-says-anheuser-busch-deserves-second-chance-after-conservative-backlash-rocks-bud-light" target="_blank" rel="noopener">불매운동</a>을 여전히 극복하려고 노력하고 있는 이 맥주 회사는 올림픽 후원이 자사 브랜드의 일부를 향상시키는 것을 볼 수 있다. 이 회사의 미켈롭 울트라(Michelob Ultra) 브랜드는 2024년, 2026년, 2028년 올림픽 및 패럴림픽에서 미국 대표팀을 공식 <a href="https://www.anheuser-busch.com/newsroom/michelob-ultra-named-exclusive-beer-sponsor-of-team-usa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">후원</a>한다. AB 인베브는 2028년까지 전 세계 올림픽 파트너이기도 하다.
&#8220;맥주와 스포츠는 함께하면 더 좋다. 이번 파트너십은 맥주 카테고리가 전 세계 수십억 명의 팬에게 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 소통할 수 있는 기회를 보여준다. 우리가 가장 좋아하는 국가대표팀들이 금메달을 향해 나아가는 것을 응원하면서 올림픽 정신의 새로운 시대를 열겠다&#8221;고 AB 인베브의 CEO인 미셸 두케리스(Michael Doukeris)가 말했다.
미켈롭 울트라는 최근 몇 년 동안 가장 빠르게 성장하는 맥주 브랜드 중 하나이며 NBA, WNBA, PGA, 미국 축구 협회, 코파 아메리카(Copa America) 및 기타 스포츠 이벤트와 파트너십을 맺었다.
앤하이저부시 인베브도 올림픽 기간 동안 무알콜 제품인 코로나 세로(Corona Cero)를 홍보하고 있다. 이 맥주는 올림픽 게임의 글로벌 맥주 스폰서로 등록되었다.
이 맥주 회사는 해당 분야에서 가장 빠르게 성장하는 두 가지 카테고리인 무알콜 및 저칼로리에 중점을 둘 예정이며, 이는 향후 시장 점유율과 재무 측면에서 성과를 거둘 수 있다.
지니어스 스포츠(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GENI#NYSE">GENI</a>): 미디어 파트너와 스포츠북에 스포츠 베팅 데이터와 결과를 제공하는 지니어스 스포츠(Genius Sports)는 하계 올림픽 기간 동안 바쁠 수 있다. 또한 이 회사는 전 세계 수백만 명의 사람들에게 데이터를 제공할 수 있는 잠재적인 촉매제를 보유하고 있다. 소셜 미디어 플랫폼 X는 최근 지니어스 스포츠와 함께 트렌드 지니어스(Trend Genius)를 <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240718065792/en/X-and-Genius-Sports-Partner-to-Launch-Trend-Genius-Product-Ahead-of-Major-Summer-Sporting-Events">출시</a>했다. 새로운 제품은 &#8220;실시간 대화를 활용하여 중요한 순간에 광고 관심을 가속화할 것&#8221;이다.
이 플랫폼은 하계 올림픽에 앞서 출시되었으며 게임은 지니어스 데이터 데이터의 인기와 활용도를 테스트하는 역할을 할 수 있다. 이 플랫폼을 통해 광고주들은 스포츠 이벤트 중에 인기가 높아진 주제를 타겟팅할 수 있다.
X의 소유주인 일론 머스크와 X의 CEO인 린다 야카리노는 이미 향후 2주 동안 이 소셜 미디어 플랫폼에서 올림픽에 대한 보도가 얼마나 널리 퍼질 것인지에 대한 게시를 시작했다. 지니어스 스포츠가 잠재적으로 엄청난 초기 결과로 신제품을 출시하면서 올림픽이 X에 대해 많은 관심을 받을 것으로 기대한다.
드래프트킹스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) 및 플러터 엔터테인먼트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLUT#NYSE">FLUT</a>): 이 두 스포츠 베팅 회사들은 미국 시장 점유율 기준으로 가장 큰 두 가지 플랫폼을 보유하고 있다. 이전 하계 올림픽보다 더 많은 주에서 더 많은 이벤트가 제공되면서 최근 몇 년 동안 올림픽 이벤트에 대한 베팅이 증가했다.
축구, 남자 농구와 같은 최고의 스포츠는 경기 중에 베터들의 관심을 더 많이 끌고 있다. 워싱턴 포스트의 <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/07/26/sports-betting-olympics/f87e0be8-4b35-11ef-9149-c75da5dd9201_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>에 따르면 2020년 하계 올림픽 기간 동안 22개 주가 미국에서 합법적인 스포츠 베팅을 제공하는 것과 비교하면 총 38개 주와 워싱턴 D.C.가 미국에서 합법적인 스포츠 베팅을 제공한다고 한다.
파리와 뉴욕의 시차는 6시간, 도쿄와 뉴욕의 시차는 13시간이다. 파리와의 시차가 작을수록 미국 내 베팅 활동이 잠재적으로 증가할 수 있다.
미국은 2024년 하계 올림픽에서 가장 많은 메달과 금메달을 획득할 유력 국가로, 수많은 스타들이 종목에 참가하고 있다. 이는 자국의 운동선수들을 지원하면서 베팅에서 이익을 얻고자 하는 베터들을 끌어들일 가능성이 높다.

2024년 하계 올림픽 기간 동안 금메달로 향하는 6개의 주식: 회사 역사상 '가장 큰 사건'

S&amp;P 500 기업들 중 약 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39769910/goldman-sachs-q2-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-investment-banking-fees-up-21-hikes-dividend" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">14%가 6월 분기 실적을 발표</a>했으며, 더 넓은 지수를 구성하는 기업들의 혼합 실적 성장률은 여전히 ​​양호하다. 이번 주에는 기술 보고 시즌이 공식적으로 시작될 것이며, 이는 최근 주에 가파른 하락세를 보인 시장의 향방을 잠재적으로 결정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 사건: 기술주의 실적 시즌은 지난주 칩 장비 제조업체 ASML 홀딩 N.V.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)의 실적 발표로 와만하게 시작되었다. 이 회사의 주가는 약한 3분기 전망과 중국 칩 금지를 둘러싼 지정학적 우려로 인해 약 16% 하락했다. 넷플릭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)의 지침은 투자자들을 실망시켰지만 증권사 측 분석가들이 결과에 열광하면서 주가는 크게 하락하지 않았다.
투자자들은 뱅크 오브 아메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), 모건 스탠리(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) 및 골드만삭스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) 등 나머지 대형 은행들의 실적 보고서에 환호했다. 투자 은행 사업의 반등과 강력한 트레이딩 매출이 은행들의 매출을 강화하는 데 도움이 되었다.
팩트셋(FactSet)의 최신 실적 전망 조사 <a href="https://advantage.factset.com/hubfs/Website/Resources%20Section/Research%20Desk/Earnings%20Insight/EarningsInsight_071924.pdf">보고서</a>에 따르면 이들 기업 중 80%가 예상보다 높은 주당 이익을 보고했는데, 이는 5년 평균인 77%와 비교된다. 평균 상승 여력은 약 5.5%이지만, 이는 5년 평균 상승률 8.6%보다 낮다.
관련 정보: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">지금 가장 핫한 기술주</a>
실적 트렌드: 팩트셋에 따르면 S&amp;P 500 기업들의 2분기 혼합 실적 증가율은 현재 9.7%로 전주의 9.1%보다 높아진 것으로 추정된다. 이 추정치가 달성되면 분기 실제 성장률은 2021년 4분기 이후 보고된 전년 동기 대비 가장 높은 성장률을 기록할 것이라고 덧붙였다. 2분기 역시 4분기 연속 성장을 기록할 것으로 보인다.
S&amp;P 500 11개 부문 중 8개 부문이 전년 동기 대비 실적 성장을 기록할 것으로 예상되며, 그 중 통신 서비스, 의료, IT, 금융 부문 4개 부문이 두 자릿수 실적 성장을 기록할 가능성이 높다. 반면, 소재 업종을 중심으로 3개 업종의 실적 감소가 예상된다.
이번 주의 이슈: 이번 주에는 다우 30 지수 구성요소 7개를 포함해 S&amp;P 500 기업 138개 기업들의 실적 보고서가 나올 것이라고 팩트셋의 보고서가 밝혔다. 이번 주의 실적 발표 목록에는 통신, 자동차, 철강, 칩, 주택 건설, 방위, 항공 및 기술 산업의 기업들이 포함된다.
테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)와 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)은 S&amp;P 500과 나스닥 지수에서 높은 비중을 차지하고 있어 주목받는 기업들 중 하나이다. 테슬라는 전년 동기 대비 주당 순이익이 91센트에서 62센트로 급격히 감소할 것으로 예상되는 반면, 매출은 훨씬 완만하게 0.80% 감소한 247억 3천만 달러를 기록했을 수 있다. 이 이익성에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 일론 머스크의 회사가 어려운 수요 환경에서 생산량을 늘리기 위해 의존해 온 가격 인하에서 비롯된다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39810457/as-tesla-stock-bounces-back-fund-manager-says-elon-musk-led-company-offers-good-set">분석가들과 펀드 매니저들은</a> 회사가 해당 분기에 양호한 납품 실적을 보고한 후 낙관적이다. 하반기에도 반전이 있을 것으로 예상된다.
알파벳의 실적은 AI를 활용한 거대 기업들 중 최초로 분기별 실적을 발표하는 기업이기 때문에 중요하며, 이는 나머지 기업들의 실적 속도를 정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 지수가 사상 최고치에서 후퇴하면서 주식시장이 큰 타격을 입었다. Benzinga Pro 데이터에 따르면 나스닥 100 지수의 성과를 추적하는 지수인 Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)는 금요일 0.89% 하락한 475.24달러에 마감했다. 이 ETF는 7월 10일에 도달한 502.96달러의 사상 최고치보다 낮게 거래되고 있다. SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)도 금요일 0.66% 하락한 548.99달러로 마감했다.
이번 주 주목할 만한 실적 발표 기업은 다음과 같다:

무소속 대선 후보 로버트 F. 케네디가 제3자 후보로는 보기 드문 두 자릿수 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38983344/2024-election-cliffhanger-biden-leads-trump-by-just-a-point-in-latest-poll-as-overwhelming-majority">투표</a>를 받고 있지만, 11월에 열릴 대선에서 조 바이든 대통령 및 도널드 트럼프 전 대통령과 경쟁하려면 아직 해야 할 일이 많다.
화요일 일론 머스크의 X에 <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1793091770441748712" target="_blank" rel="noopener">게시</a>된 한 게시물에서 케네디는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/38849634/biden-signals-intent-to-debate-trump-in-june-make-my-day-pal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">현재 토론 일정</a>에서 벗어나 이 플랫폼에서 대통령 토론을 제안했다.
사건의 전말 (What Happened): 머스크는 X에 케네디가 바이든과 트럼프 사이의 토론에 참여하도록 허용되어야 한다고 게시했다. 제3자 후보는 전통적으로 토론에 포함되지 않는다.
이에 케네디는 머스크에게 &#8220;너가 주최하고 싶니?&#8221;라고 물었다.
머스크는 &#8220;그럼(sure)&#8221;이라고 답했다.
케네디는 &#8220;X에서 토론이 열려야 한다. CNN의 시청자 수보다 100배는 많은 새로운 공공 광장이다. @realDonaldTrump, 네가 할 수 있을 거라고 나는 알고 있다. 너가 @POTUS에게 연락할래? 아니면 나가 할까?&#8221;라고 케네디가 <a href="https://x.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1793337250714878285">말했다</a>.
중요한 점 (Why it Matters): 첫 번째 대통령 선거 토론은 1960년 케네디의 삼촌 존 F. 케네디와 리처드 M. 닉슨 사이에서 열렸다. 특히 이 토론은 TV로 <a href="https://www.jfklibrary.org/asset-viewer/archives/tnc-172">중계</a>되었다.
밸롯피디아(Ballotpedia)에 <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Presidential_debates,_2024">따르면</a>, 2024년 현재 대통령 선거 토론 일정은 6월에 워너 브라더스 디스커버리(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>)의 자회사 CNN에서 실시되며, 9월에는 월트 디즈니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)의 자회사 ABC에서 실시된다. 지난 토론은 컴캐스트 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>)의 자회사 NBC와 폭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>)에서도 진행되었다.
하지만 X에서의 토론은 수십 년 동안 방송된 TV 토론의 우선 순위를 회피하게 된다.
과거에도 정치적 이벤트들이 X에서 중계된 바 있다. 플로리다 주지사인 론 디샌티스는 X에서 2024년 대선에 대한 입후보를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/23/05/32564924/desantis-announces-2024-presidential-run-lauds-elon-musks-commitment-to-free-speech">선언했다</a>. 이 이벤트는 연결 문제, 결함 및 지연으로 인해 수신이 제대로 이루어지지 않았다. 디샌티스는 그 후 대선 후보 경선을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36709808/ron-desantis-ends-presidential-race-backs-donald-trump-ahead-of-new-hampshire-primaries">포기했다</a>.

월트 디즈니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)와 컴캐스트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>)는 스트리밍 플랫폼 훌루(Hulu)의 지분 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/11/35693462/disney-hulu-unified-app-to-launch-next-month-in-beta-official-launch-scheduled-for-spring-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">33%</a> 가치 평가에 대한 분쟁을 해결하기 위해 재정 자문가를 찾고 있는 것으로 알려졌다.
이슈 (What Happened): 로이터는 이 문제에 정통한 소식통들을 인용해 디즈니가 컴캐스트로부터 인수할 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/09/28903008/disney-vs-comcast-is-a-battle-brewing-over-the-value-and-who-should-own-hulu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">지분 가치 평가</a>에 대해 두 거대 미디어 기업이 동의하지 않는다고 보도했다.
이러한 움직임은 작년에 훌루에 대한 합의 조건과 일치한다. 즉, 그들의 각 은행인 JP모건 체이스와 모건 스탠리의 평가가 크게 다를 경우 재정 자문가를 고용하여 문제를 해결할 수 있다고 규정하고 있다.
JP모건은 디즈니의 훌루 가치를 약 275억 달러로 평가한 반면, 모건 스탠리는 컴캐스트의 가치를 400억 달러 이상으로 평가했다. 이 두 가지 평가액이 10% 이상 차이가 나기 때문에 디즈니와 컴캐스트는 현재 독립적인 평가를 위한 하나의 투자 은행을 지정하기 위해 논의 중이다.
이 계약 조건에 따르면 세 번째 평가가 디즈니의 은행 평가와 가장 근접할 경우 두 평가의 평균으로 거래가 마무리된다. 마찬가지로, 세 번째 평가가 컴캐스트의 은행 평가와 가장 가까운 경우 두 평가의 평균으로 거래가 체결된다.
3차 평가 평균이 275억 달러 아래로 떨어지면 최종 평가액은 275억 달러로 책정될 것이라고 보고서는 밝혔다.
중요성 (Why It Matters): 훌루는 &#8216;쇼군(Shogun)&#8217;, &#8216;더 베어(The Bear)&#8217;, &#8216;프레이(Prey)&#8217;, &#8216;아파트 이웃들이 수상해(Only Murders in the Building)&#8217;과 같은 히트 오리지널 쇼로 유명하다. 이 플랫폼은 2023년 12월까지 가입자 기반이 4,970만 명에 도달하여 9월 분기보다 2% 증가한 것을 기록했다.
디즈니는 이미 &#8216;모아나(Moana)&#8217; 및 &#8216;겨울왕국(Frozen)&#8217;과 같은 인기 타이틀을 호스팅하는 디즈니+ 스트리밍 플랫폼에 훌루를 통합했다.
이 평가 분쟁은 디즈니가 훌루의 소수 지분을 포함하여 21세기 폭스 자산을 710억 달러에 인수한 이후 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/09/28903008/disney-vs-comcast-is-a-battle-brewing-over-the-value-and-who-should-own-hulu">2019년에 체결된 거래</a>에서 발생했다. 이 거래를 통해 디즈니는 훌루에 대한 대부분의 통제권을 갖게 되었으며, 컴캐스트는 33%의 지분을 유지하여 2024년까지 그 가치가 크게 증가할 것으로 예상했다.
디즈니의 훌루 지분 33% 인수는 2023년 11월에 발표되었으며 컴캐스트에 최소 86억 달러를 지불했다. 현재의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/23/05/32577497/hulu-co-owners-disney-comcast-fight-to-reach-a-deal-regarding-streaming-service" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이 가치 평가 분쟁</a>은 이번 인수를 마무리하는 데 중요한 단계이다.

디즈니와 컴캐스트는 훌루의 실제 가치 평가를 위해 자문사 모색 중: 보도

벤치마크(Benchmark)의 애널리스트 매튜 해리건(Matthew Harrigan)은 컴캐스트 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>)에 대해 매수 평가와 <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CMCSA/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$55의 목표 주가를 설정했다</a>.
NBC 광고 매출 및 제휴 부문 부사장 댄 러빙거(Dan Lovinger)는 NBCU가 이미 12억 달러의 승인을 받았으며, 이를 통해 3억 5천만 달러 이상의 새 광고주들로부터의 제휴를 통해 기록적인 올림픽 총액을 기록했다고 발표했다.
해리건은 획득한 이 약속 금액이 이미 도쿄 올림픽을 위해 달성한 전국 광고 수익 12억 5천만 달러에 약간 못 미치는 수준이라고 말했다.
다음 기사: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38186223/at-t-comcast-verizon-challenge-subsidy-slash-threatens-internet-for-23m-households" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AT&amp;T, 컴캐스트, 버라이즌의 도전: 23백만 가구에 대한 인터넷 보조금이 위협을 가할 수도</a>
올림픽은 특히 기록적인 디지털 광고와 함께 스트리밍되는 모든 이벤트를 통해 피콕(Peacock)의 지속적인 추진력에 필수적이다.
해리건에 따르면, 개막식과 폐회식의 모든 광고 인벤토리는 이미 완판되었다.
주요 카테고리에는 비알코올 음료, CPG, 금융 서비스 및 소매업이 포함되며, 엔터테인먼트도 진행될 예정이다.
그는 NBCU의 제휴 강조에 대해 반영하면서, 개별적 프라임타임 마케팅 통합의 거의 95%가 매진되었다고 말했다.
올림픽과의 연관성을 추구하는 주요 브랜드에 대한 높은 친화력은  컴캐스트가 2032년까지 76억 5천만 달러의 올림픽 약속을 잘 이행하고 있음을 입증한다. 해리건에 따르면 현재 광고 지출은 관중이 파리로 돌아오는 덜 유리한 아시아 시간대에서 2021년 도쿄 올림픽보다 18% 증가했다.
올해 올림픽 시청률은 NCAA 농구 토너먼트 이후 여성 스포츠에 대한 폭발적인 관심과 시청으로 인해 이익을 얻을 가능성이 높다.
현재 시장 가치 평가는 회사의 중요한 성장 포트폴리오에 대한 공정 가치와 클라이언트 브랜드 자산 제공을 위한 스트리밍과 통합된 선형 TV의 본질적인 관련성을 반영하지 않고 있다고 이 분석가는 재평가했다.
해리건은 피콕이 온디맨드 및 라이브 스트림 프로그램과 새 프로그램 방식 제공을 통해 새 재고를 만들고 있음을 언급했다.
프로그램 방식 대안은 더 트레이드 데스크(The Trade Desk)와의 제휴를 통해 육성되었으며, 이를 통해 사설 입찰 마켓이 된다. NBCU는 또한 X와 스냅챗(Snapchat)과의 협약을 통해 클립을 게시할 수 있는 협정을 가지고 있다.
이 분석가는 NBC유니버설(NBCUniversal)이 업계에서 광범위하게 채택되고 특히 선형 시청과 디지털 소비 데이터를 통합하는 원 플랫폼 토탈 오디언스(One Platform Total Audience) 접근 방식을 포함하여 크로스 플랫폼 광고 및 애드테크(AdTech) 분야의 전반적인 리더라고 썼다.
원 플랫폼(One Platform)에는 NBC유니버설의 중요한 AI를 이용한 계획 및 활성화 기술이 포함되어 있다. NBC유니버설의 광고 고객 중 약 60%가 가치를 극대화하기 위해 오디언스 기반 구매를 사용하고 있는데, 이는 전략적 고객 중심 광고에 대한 25% 이상의 성장을 이룰 것이라고 해리건은 말했다.
컴캐스트의 지난 12개월 동안의 주가는 4% 올랐다. 투자자들은 Invesco BuyBack Achievers ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PKW#NASDAQ">PKW</a>)와 Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight 통신 서비스 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSPC#NYSE">RSPC</a>)를 통해 이 주식에 노출을 할 수 있다.
주가 움직임: 수요일 CMCSA 주가는 1.01% 빠진 39.72달러에 마감했다.
