Roblox, Flutter Entertainment, Walt Disney, Verizon Communications, DraftKings, Take-Two Interactive Software, and Warner Bros. Discovery are the seven Entertainment stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Entertainment stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose core businesses involve creating, producing or distributing leisure content and experiences—such as film and TV studios, streaming platforms, video game developers, music labels and live‐event or theme park operators. Because their revenues depend heavily on consumer discretionary spending and the success of new releases or subscriptions, these stocks tend to be more cyclical and sensitive to changing trends, technological shifts and content performance metrics. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Entertainment stocks within the last several days.
