Netflix (the streaming giant) is still killing it with hit shows, but ex-NBC exec Tom Rogers says YouTube is stealing the spotlight.

🚨 Breaking News:
Tom Rogers, once a Netflix superfan, is now worried: YouTube’s growing engagement is a serious threat to Netflix's dominance.

⚡Wire Simplified:

  • YouTube now gets 13% of monthly TV viewership; Netflix is at 8%

  • Netflix's engagement per user has dipped, not great for future growth

  • AI could help Netflix lower costs, but also helps YouTube creators look more pro

  • Netflix stock is down 11% since its June high, despite solid earnings

  • Rogers says engagement, not earnings, is the real game-changer

✔️Straight to the Point:
Netflix still rules in content, but YouTube’s free, AI-boosted creator world is making it harder to keep viewers hooked

UnitedHealth, America’s biggest private health insurer, is in hot water. CEO Stephen Hemsley has to clean up a Medicare mess.

🚨 Breaking News:
After a rough quarter and a CEO shake-up, UnitedHealth will report earnings this week and everyone’s watching closely.

⚡Wire Simplified:

  • Stock dropped nearly 50% since May, worst year in over a decade

  • Medicare billing troubles triggered DOJ investigations and a leadership change

  • Key focus is their 2025 guidance, analysts expect $21.26/share

  • Optum Health (their doctor group) profits plunged due to new Medicare billing rules (V28)

  • Some think the damage may last 1 to 2 years before recovery

✔️Straight to the Point:
UnitedHealth’s troubles aren’t just numbers, they reflect deeper issues in how healthcare profits are structured and regulated
