Netflix Inc. delivered fourth-quarter results that largely beat Wall Street estimates but issued a cautious forecast for the months ahead, citing higher program spending and the cost of closing its deal with Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.

The streaming leader said Tuesday it plans to increase spending on films and TV shows by 10% in 2026 while forging ahead with plans to buy the studio and streaming business of Warner Bros., a deal that would unite two of the world’s largest entertainment companies. Netflix spent about $18 billion on programming last year, with subscribers growing almost 8% to top 325 million
For the current quarter, Netflix forecasts earnings of 76 cents a share, below Wall Street estimates of 82 cents. Sales will be $12.2 billion, in line with estimates. Closing the Warner Bros. deal will add $275 million in costs for this year, on top of the $60 million spent through year end. Netflix will pause share buybacks to accumulate cash for the acquisition, according to its quarterly letter to shareholders.

In a piece written for Bloomberg Businessweek magazine, Daron Acemoglu, Institute Professor of MIT's Department of Economics, muses on whether there is a way to better understand the mind and methodology of US President Donald Trump. Acemoglu writes that "most of the (Trump) administration’s actions — the questionable crypto dealings, the appointment of unqualified allies to high-level positions, the unconstitutional deportations and National Guard deployments, the ouster of a Latin American head of state — have a logic. They’re all attempts to expand executive power, steps toward a type of imperial presidency."

The 2024 winner of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences details his assessment and whether the expansion of Trump's executive powers will ultimately lead to a fundamental change in American politics. Professor Acemoglu speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.
