DraftKings, Walt Disney, Verizon Communications, Flutter Entertainment, and Roblox are the five Entertainment stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Entertainment stocks are shares of companies whose primary business involves creating, producing, or distributing content and experiences for leisure and enjoyment, such as film studios, music labels, streaming platforms, gaming firms, theme parks, and live-event promoters. Investors in these stocks typically look for strong intellectual property portfolios, recurring revenue models (like subscriptions and licensing), and growth in consumer spending on media and experiences. Because earnings can be cyclical and dependent on hit-driven content, these stocks often exhibit higher volatility tied to release schedules, box-office performance, and broader consumer sentiment. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Entertainment stocks within the last several days.
