Netflix and Amazon dominate streaming sector leaving Disney, Roku behind

Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) show Stranger Things helped the company recover some of the shareholder’s confidence back a few months ago. 

Currently, the show still represents a gift that keeps on giving, as it is the only program to stream a billion minutes per week, according to data released by Nielsen for the week of July 11-17.   

Among the top 10 ranked video-on-demand (streaming) programs Netflix and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) are dominating the list, while Disney (NYSE: DIS) and Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) are not on the list at all.

Stranger Things was streamed for 2.847 billion minutes, followed by another Netflix show, The Sea Beast, at 920 million minutes, while Amazon’s action shows The Terminal List took the third spot with 887 million minutes.  

NFLX chart and analysis

In the last month, NFLX has been trading in a wide range between $188.40 to $251.62, with the long-term trend still negative. Prices have been rising strongly lately; therefore, it may be a good idea to wait for a consolidation or pullback before considering an entry.  

The technical analysis shows the support zone stretching from $221.41 to $224.70 and the resistance line at $249.31.

Nielsen streaming ratings incorporate viewing from six prominent streamers: Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, and Netflix, also covering movie minutes. Netflix dominated the movie minutes as well, showing that they perhaps have the most complete streaming platform or at least the most popular one for now.
