Promising Entertainment Stocks To Watch Now - July 24th

Alibaba Group, Southwest Airlines, Warner Bros. Discovery, Las Vegas Sands, Roblox, Verizon Communications, and Walt Disney 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, distributing or monetizing media content and leisure experiences—such as film studios, television and streaming platforms, music labels, video game developers and live‐event promoters. By investing in these stocks, shareholders gain exposure to revenues from box‐office ticket sales, subscription fees, advertising, licensing deals and related consumer spending. Because their performance hinges on shifting content trends, technological changes and discretionary leisure budgets, entertainment stocks can be more cyclical and sentiment‐driven than those in defensive sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Entertainment stocks within the last several days.
