1) Advanced Micro Devices• Shares of AMD are
roughly flat over the past year, but with extreme volatility.
• With Polaris GPUs and Zen CPUs coming later this year, the second half of 2016 could show the first signs of a turnaround.
• AMD has over-promised and under-delivered before, and a repeat with Polaris or Zen would be disastrous.

2) Netflix• Streaming juggernaut
Netflix is set to report its first-quarter results after market close on Monday.
• Netflix plans to increase prices for longtime customers in May to $9.99 per month, boosting revenue but potentially driving some customers away.

2) NetflixLast Quarter
• Revenue rose 28.1% year over year, while GAAP net income slumped 48.2% due to larger international losses.
• Total streaming subscriber count reached 74.8 million, driven by 64% growth in international subscribers.
This Quarter• Analysts expect revenue
to grow by 24.9% year over year.
• Netflix expects to end the quarter with 80.9 million subscribers, comprised of 46.5 million in the U.S. and 34.4 million in international markets.
• Net income expected to drop 54% year over year.

2) Netflix• Shares of Netflix have
surged over the past year, up 66%.
• Subscriber count continues to grow at a blistering pace, and upcoming price hikes for early customers could give revenue a boost.
• Netflix is burning cash as it builds its international business, and its stock is extremely expensive.

3) Mattel• Toy maker Mattel is set to
report its first quarter results after the market close on Wednesday.
• The company is in the middle of a turnaround effort, and the loss of its Disney Princess license will be a major headwind in 2016.
• Currency is also expected to negatively affect Mattel’s results.

• Net income rose 44% year over year due to significant cost cuts.
• Barbie, Fisher-Price, and Hot Wheels brands grew gross sales by 1%, 8%, and 18% respectively.

year-over-year revenue decline, and a non-GAAP loss of $0.08 per share.

3) Mattel• Shares of Mattel are up
38% over the past year, mostly due to the company’s solid fourth-quarter earnings report.
