U.S. Treasury's Yellen Says China Has Acknowledged A Problem With Overcapacity; Emphasizing Undesirable Spillovers From Chinese Overcapacity

Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) continues to showcase robust performance in its first-quarter earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX/news">report for 2024</a>. 
The streaming company is now on track to monetize about 40 million borrowers (i.e., people who do not live in the same household but share the same account). 
In order to curb sharers/borrowers of an account outside a household, Netflix has restricted access to sharers beyond a household. The company also devised ways to make it easier for borrowers to transfer Netflix profiles into their own account. 
The initiative ultimately means more paying accounts for Netflix.

With revenue surging to $9.37 billion, a 14.8% year-over-year increase, and earnings per share standing at $5.28, surpassing analyst estimates, Netflix demonstrates its resilience and ability to thrive in the ever-evolving media industry. 
The company&#8217;s relentless pursuit of growth is evident in its addition of 9.33 million paid subscribers during the first quarter alone, bringing its total subscriber base to a staggering 269.60 million, marking a significant 16.0% increase from the previous year. Such impressive numbers underscore Netflix&#8217;s unparalleled position as a market leader in the streaming space.
Netflix stock is up 68.72% over the past year, 14.02% YTD.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix Strategy Through The Lens Of JPMorgan</h3>
Moreover, insights from JPMorgan&#8217;s Video Streaming Survey shed light on Netflix&#8217;s strategy to further capitalize on its user base. 
The survey reveals 44% of Netflix borrowers in the first quarter indicated their intention to either obtain their own subscription (38%) or become an additional member (6%). This data suggests that Netflix is effectively converting borrowers into paying customers, with projections estimating the potential monetization of approximately 40 million borrowers by the end of 2024. 
Netflix&#8217;s initiatives to curb password sharing and introduce an ad-tier plan are notable developments aimed at enhancing monetization opportunities. 
With 65% of Netflix users now restricted from sharing their accounts outside their households, and a growing awareness of the ad-tier option among subscribers, Netflix is diversifying its revenue streams and catering to varying consumer preferences.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analysts See Over 25% Upside For Netflix Stock</h2>
In light of these developments, analysts remain bullish on Netflix&#8217;s future prospects. 
Following the release of the Q1 earnings report, Evercore ISI Group, B of A Securities, and Oppenheimer issued their latest ratings, collectively assigning an average price target of $691.67 for Netflix stock. This projection implies a substantial 26.03% upside potential, reflecting analysts&#8217; confidence in Netflix&#8217;s ability to capitalize on its expanding subscriber base and innovative monetization strategies.
As Netflix continues to invest in original content, expand its global footprint, and innovate its platform, the company remains poised for sustained growth and profitability. 
With a compelling combination of subscriber growth, revenue diversification, and analyst optimism, Netflix stands at the forefront of the digital entertainment revolution, poised to deliver significant value to both investors and consumers alike.

Netflix Could Monetize 40M Borrowers By End Of 2024, Analysts See Over 25% Upside

Good Morning Traders! In today&#39;s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.
Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.
We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market&#39;s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let&#39;s dive into the stock analysis:
<h3>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</h3>
The SPY (ARCA: SPY) is presently trading around the price of 502.85. The bullish perspective hopes for an initial rise to 503.95. Maintaining strong performance above this mark could usher the SPY towards a subsequent target of 505.32. Should this level prove stable during regular market hours, there may be potential for an ascent to 506.06, with an ambitious high target of 507.52 for today&rsquo;s session.
Conversely, if the SPY fails to maintain support at 502.85, the bearish scenario comes into play. We would anticipate a move down to 501.74, testing market resilience. If bearish momentum persists and the price breaks below this level, a further decline to 500.91 could occur, with an ultimate strong support possibly forming at 500.17. Should today manifest a pronounced downward trend, the price might even reach a lower bear target of 498.93.
<h3>Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1</h3>
The QQQ (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqq#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) , or &quot;the Q&#39;s&quot;, is currently positioned around 422.16. Bullish traders are looking to uphold the price above 423.27, seeking to establish firm support there. If successful, the next target is 424.04, with potential further gains leading to 425.77. Should today&rsquo;s trading conditions be favorable, the bulls may aim for a peak price of 427.32, with the highest target set at 428.50.
On the downside, if 422.16 cannot serve as a stable base during today&rsquo;s trading, bears might push the price down to 420.76. A confirmed weakness could see the QQQ descend to 419.89 and possibly to 419.19 if support levels fail. In a scenario of pronounced bearish pressure, a drop to a lower bearish target of 417.49 might be witnessed.
<h3>Apple Inc.</h3>
Apple&rsquo;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) stock is currently hovering around 168.99. From a bullish viewpoint, maintaining this level is crucial. If support holds, there&#39;s potential for a rise to 169.73, with continued momentum possibly pushing the price to 170.32. If the overall market sentiment remains bullish today, Apple might see a peak target of 171.13.
If Apple&rsquo;s price falls below 168.99 during regular trading hours, it may signal bearish control, prompting a retest at 168.00. Persisting sell-offs could lead to further declines towards 167.59 and 167.09. In a significant downturn, the price might gravitate towards the day&rsquo;s low bear target of 166.27.
<h3>Microsoft Corp. </h3>
Microsoft&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) is trading near 400.30. Bulls aim to keep the price above 401.39 and strengthen it up to 402.74, solidifying it as a support level. Sustained buying could propel the stock towards 404.92, aiming for the highest bullish target of 406.01 for the day.
If support at 400.30 gives way, a bearish outlook suggests a possible dip to 399.21. If this level cannot hold, further declines to 398.38 and 397.65 could be expected. The lowest bear target for Microsoft today is set at 395.68.
<h3>NVIDIA Corporation</h3>
NVIDIA&rsquo;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) stock is being watched closely at the 799.10 mark. Bulls are looking to propel it initially to 804.61 and establish clear support. With continued buying interest, a push towards 810.13 and possibly up to 816.95 could be seen, setting a high target of 823.52 for the day.
However, if NVIDIA cannot maintain the 799.10 level as a strong support today, bears may look to decrease the price to 794.94. If selling intensifies, a further drop to 791.44 and then to 781.59 could occur. In a substantial bearish trend, the day&rsquo;s low target could be 775.50.
<h3>Alphabet Inc Class A</h3>
Alphabet&rsquo;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) current level is 154.44. Bulls seek to stabilize the price at 154.95 and advance it to 155.59. With ongoing bullish momentum, the price might aim for today&rsquo;s high target of 156.61.
Should the price fall below 154.44, bears might drive it down to 153.54. If this level fails to hold, the price might be pushed further to 152.94, and in a significant sell-off, down to a low bear target of 152.27.
<h3>Meta Platforms Inc</h3>
Meta&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/meta#NASDAQ">META</a>) is trading around 420.24. Bulls are keen on supporting the price here and pushing it higher to 426.00. Strong buying could lead to further advances towards 429.01, with a potential high target of 436.87.
Conversely, if 420.24 fails as a support level, bears might force the price down to 417.87. Continuing bearish trends could lead to further declines to 412.80, and if not held, down to the day&rsquo;s low bear target of 409.16.
<h3>Tesla Inc.</h3>
Tesla&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is currently priced around 160.32. Bulls hope to drive the price up to 162.32 and further to 164.87. A bullish market trend today could see Tesla potentially reaching 166.89, with an optimistic high target of 169.70.
If Tesla&rsquo;s price does not maintain the 160.32 level, it might be tested lower at 158.92, potentially falling to 157.52. Should selling pressure persist, the price could decline to a day&rsquo;s low target of 152.97.
Final Word: Today&#39;s trading session is packed with key economic data releases that could significantly influence market dynamics. Beginning at 8:30 AM ET, we have the announcement of the GDP and Core PCE Price Index for the first quarter, coupled with the latest unemployment figures. These data points are crucial as they offer insights into the economic health and inflationary pressures, setting the tone for market volatility.
Following the morning data, the market will shift its focus to the Pending Home Sales report for March, which is scheduled for release at 10 AM ET. This indicator provides further context on the real estate market, which has implications for broader economic conditions.
In the afternoon, attention turns to the government sector with a 7 Year Note Auction from the Treasury at 1 PM ET. The outcome of this auction could impact interest rates and investor sentiment.
Wrapping up the day, the post-market hours will see key earnings announcements from major tech companies including Microsoft, Alphabet, and Intel. These earnings results are highly anticipated, as they have the potential to influence market trends and investor confidence.
Given this lineup of events, traders should be prepared for a day marked by potentially high volatility and dynamic shifts in market sentiment. It&rsquo;s advisable to stay informed, monitor the markets closely, and trade cautiously. Good luck today!

Macy's's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.47% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 16.65 million shares sold short, which is 6.84% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.31 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Macy's Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1714054523_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Macy's has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Macy's's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Macy's's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.07%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
