Many players\u00a0have\u00a0joined the streaming party over the\u00a0past few\u00a0years: Amazon\u00a0Prime, Disney+, HBO and many others.\u00a0But\u00a0Netflix still has the largest\u00a0content\u00a0library and continue to fuels it with aggressive investments by acquiring or developing new series and movies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The company spent\u00a0US$11.8-billion\u00a0on its content last year alone despite COVID-19\u00a0disruption in the film industry. Since 2018,\u00a0Netflix\u2019s\u00a0gross margin has increased by 1 per cent each year, meaning a dollar spent on content has produced more and more additional revenue. As the saying goes:\u00a0Content\u00a0is king.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The multinational sporting goods company\u00a0<strong>Nike Inc.<\/strong>\u00a0had a strong year as consumers rushed\u00a0to buy\u00a0sports equipment during the pandemic.\u00a0In its most recent\u00a0quarter,\u00a0the company\u00a0again beat\u00a0analyst estimates with diluted earnings of\u00a093 U.S.\u00a0cents a share versus 51\u00a0U.S. cents\u00a0expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Over\u00a0time, Nike has\u00a0allied\u00a0itself with many professional athletes who have contributed to the brand\u2019s recognition. This recognition by consumers can be seen in the EPI of 2.6.\u00a0Customers\u00a0are potentially willing to pay more for Nike\u2019s products\u00a0than competing ones, which creates value for\u00a0its\u00a0shareholders. The\u00a0company\u2019s\u00a0robust short-term results forced our algorithm to readjust its assumptions resulting in a 8.9-per-cent increase in the COV in just there months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><strong>Etsy Inc.\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Amazon.com Inc.<\/strong>\u00a0have similar profiles. Etsy connects buyers and sellers, and offers mostly handmade and vintage items on its platform, while Amazon\u00a0follows\u00a0the equivalent process, but with a much wider variety of products.\u00a0Amazon also has a huge division offering\u00a0cloud computing services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Both companies have benefited from the shift in consumer habits\u00a0toward\u00a0e-commerce. Is their growth borrowed or has the pandemic accelerated the transition to online shopping?<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Close to a year and half after the start of the pandemic,\u00a0Etsy\u2019s\u00a0three-month sales growth of 18.5 per cent and\u00a0Amazon\u2019s\u00a08.5\u00a0per cent expansion\u00a0show no signs of going backward.\u00a0But both\u00a0companies are\u00a0also\u00a0selling below their historical P\/E ratios: 50.3 today\u00a0for Etsy, versus 63.5\u00a0historically, and 69.4\u00a0for Amazon,\u00a0versus 77.8\u00a0in the past.\u00a0The lower valuations\u00a0may indicate the market is not convinced growth can continue at the\u00a0rates\u00a0seen in recent years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Investors are advised to do further research before investing in any of the companies listed in the accompanying table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><i>Anthony M\u00e9nard is an investment analyst at Inovestor Asset Management.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><i>For more details about these stocks, subscribe to the Inovestor for Advisors platform for free: <a href=\"http:\/\/inovestor.com\/en-CA\/store\/\">inovestor.com\/en-CA\/store\/<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><i>Be smart with your money.
