Brightcove faces stiff competition from big players like Alphabet’s (GOOGL - Free Report) YouTube, Netflix (NFLX - Free Report) and Vimeo (VMEO - Free Report) in the video streaming space. These companies have a significant competitive advantage over BCOV due to larger marketing budgets, and greater financial and technical resources.
Alphabet’s YouTube is a big platform of user-generated and professional content for marketers, social media managers and creators. YouTube provides hosting, streaming and monetization solutions for businesses. Netflix poses an indirect challenge for Brightcove because of its ad-streaming services alongside its vast library of movies, TV shows, documentaries and original content. Vimeo allows users to create, manage and deliver video communications to drive customer engagement.
Brightcove doesn’t have a Zacks Rank at present. Currently, GOOGL carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while NFLX and VMEO sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) each. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
