3 Companies Paying the Price for Raising Prices in 2019
There was more than the usual bravado emanating from some of the biggest brands in media entertainment earlier this year. Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), Disney (NYSE: DIS), and AMC (NYSE: AMC) boosted prices for some of their flagship offerings in January, figuring that the booming economy and their market leadership positions offered them a fair degree of pricing elasticity.
