During the second quarter, Netflix generated cash from operating activities of $2.4 billion versus $1.3 billion in the prior-year period. Free cash flow in the second quarter totaled $2.3 billion versus $1.2 billion in the year-ago period. Netflix raised its full year 2025 free cash flow forecast to the range of $8-$8.5 billion from approximately $8 billion due to continued strength in revenue and margin performance. The company ended the quarter with gross debt of $14.5 billion and cash and cash equivalents of $8.2 billion. We liked Netflix’s second quarter and outlook, but we don’t include shares in any newsletter portfolio.

ASML Cannot Confirm Growth in 2026 at This Stage
Jul 16, 2025
-
Image: ASML's shares fell under pressure following uncertainty regarding expected 2026 performance.
ASML’s second quarter results were solid, and we liked its sequential bookings growth in the quarter. The company’s revenue and gross margin guidance for the third quarter was also good, but margins look to face some pressure on a sequential basis. During the quarter, ASML repurchased around €1.4 billion worth of shares. Though we thought performance by the firm was great in the quarter, management’s commentary that it could not confirm growth in 2026 at this stage left something to be desired. We continue to be positive on ASML’s shares, nonetheless.
