Why I Like Disney Stock Better Than Netflix Right Now

Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) are fairly similar in stock market size with Disney valued at $321 billion and Netflix at $280 billion, and there are a lot more similarities between the two given their enormous streaming businesses. But there are a number of major differences too that investors need to weigh.

One major difference is that Disney is a lot more than a streaming company. It has linear TV channels, theme parks, and a huge merchandising business. It's not only the depth of Disney's business that makes me like the stock, but also its commitment to building content that will keep users coming back again and again, which makes me think Disney will be a better stock than Netflix long-term.
