Netflix Stock Split: Netflix's 10-for-1 stock split on November 17 reduced its share price from around $1,140 to about $110, but the total investment value for shareholders remains unchanged, and the market cap stays at approximately $467 billion.
Impact on ETFs: The stock split had minimal impact on ETFs with significant Netflix exposure, as they adjusted their share counts and NAVs without altering Netflix's index weight or portfolio mechanics.
Strategic Growth Initiatives: Netflix reported a 17% year-on-year revenue increase in Q3 2025, driven by subscriber growth, pricing changes, and ad revenues, while also launching an ad-supported tier and immersive entertainment experiences.
Trading Behavior Changes: The lower share price post-split may attract more retail investors, increasing trading volumes and liquidity in ETFs, while potentially heightening volatility in the options market, although the split itself has no real consequences for ETF valuations.

TD Cowen raised the firm's price target on Alphabet (GOOG) to $350 from $335 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm increased the company's search estimates on its "positive" U.S. survey data. The data show ramping Gemini chatbot usage following the launch of Gemini 3, continued increases in search engagement driven by AI Mode and AI Overviews usage, and increasing share of ChatGPT users that are also using Gemini, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

William Blair took a "sober look" at Warby Parker's (WBRY) partnership with Google (GOOG, GOOGL). Warby shares are down 3% to $28.83 in afternoon trading. In the early days, "maybe" Google's artificial intelligence glasses can research $20M in annual sales, "but certainly not in 2026," the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says it has heard of "some relatively aggressive assumptions" on what the Google partnership with Warby Parker for AI-enabled glasses could contribute from a revenue and margin standpoint in recent weaks. Blair analyzed the potential for the glasses relative to the partnership between Meta (META) and EssilorLuxottica for the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. The firm points out that EssilorLuxottica has 55-times the amount of physical stores compared to Warby Parker. At an average price point of $450, assuming the Google AI glasses are priced competitively to Ray-Ban Meta, this would support total unit sales of 45,000, Blair estimates.

Citizens upgraded Warby Parker (WRBY) to Outperform from Market Perform with a $30 price target. The firm views the upcoming launch of Google's (GOOG, GOOGL) artificial intelligence glasses on Warby's platform as a "significant catalyst" for the shares. The glasses are important for Google's ongoing distribution of search and other products, which explains why the company is willing to commit $75M to cover Warby's expenses for the launch, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Citizens believes the glasses can drive Warby Parker's estimates significantly higher. The stock in morning trading is up 4% to $24.16.
