Netflix (NFLX - Free Report) is set to release fourth-quarter 2021 results on Jan 20 after market close. Being the world's largest video streaming company, it is worth taking a look at its fundamentals ahead of the results.
The stock has underperformed the broad industry, having plunged 17.7% over the past three months compared to the industry’s average loss of 14.9%. The weak trend might reverse if Netflix comes up with an earnings beat. As a result, ETFs with the largest allocation to this streaming giant like MicroSectors FANG+ ETN (FNGS - Free Report) , Simplify Volt Pop Culture Disruption ETF , Invesco NASDAQ Internet ETF (PNQI - Free Report) , John Hancock Multifactor Media and Communications ETF and Roundhill Streaming Services & Technology ETF are in focus.
