To select the stocks of such companies that have attractive growth potential, investors can track the recommendations of Wall Street's experts. Here are three stocks favored by the Street's top analysts, according to TipRanks, a platform that ranks analysts based on their past performance. The company recently announced upbeat results for the fourth quarter of 2023 and raised its 2024 subscription revenue and operating margin guidance. "Overall, we believe that paid sharing and advertising would help re-accelerate subscriber and revenue growth while driving high-margin incremental revenue," said Mittal. The analyst also highlighted that while Netflix saw a sixth consecutive quarter of subscriber growth, rival Disney's (DIS) subscriber base has declined for three straight quarters.
