The streaming wars are over. Netflix $NFLX ( ▼ 2.89% ) will write the histories. The content giant agreed to buy Warner Bros.’ $WBD ( ▲ 6.28% ) film assets and HBO Max in an $87.2B deal (total enterprise value), edging out Paramount $PSKY ( ▼ 9.82% ) and Comcast $CMCSA ( ▲ 0.4% ) in a bidding drama fit for prestige TV.

If it closes, it’ll mean a new center of gravity for Hollywood… and, very likely, a new season of Game of Thrones staged entirely on green screen, in TikTok-optimized aspect ratios, with plot points repeated three times a scene so you don’t miss a beat while folding your laundry. Welcome to the future!

Goldman Sachs has rolled out a new global high conviction list built around mispriced growth. Five stocks qualify, each with a targeted upside of about 70% or more over the next year.

The group spans AI hardware, consumer tech, online travel, and fintech. Horizon Robotics $HRZRF ( ▲ 4.13% ), Hon Hai $HNHPF ( ▲ 2.88% ), Zalando (ZLNDY), MakeMyTrip $MMYT ( ▼ 1.54% ), and Wise (WISE) all tie into durable themes while still trading at what Goldman sees as reasonable multiples. Goldman wants self-funded growth, not momentum alone.

China-based Horizon Robotics is the highest upside call. Goldman thinks shares can nearly double as its J6P automotive AI chips and driver assist software scale into mass production.

Hon Hai offers exposure to AI servers and premium smartphones in one manufacturer. In Europe, Zalando gets up to 77% implied upside as the About You deal beds in and margin work continues. Each case leans on clear, near-term catalysts.

MakeMyTrip is framed as a travel and cash flow recovery story. Wise rounds out the list as a cross-border payments platform where near-term spending is meant to support faster structural growth.

Goldman pitches this quintet as a higher beta sleeve inside a diversified portfolio. These are not low volatility compounders, but idiosyncratic stories that could rerate sharply if execution holds. Position sizing and time horizon matter here.

Horizon Robotics and Hon Hai lean into AI hardware and manufacturing. Zalando and MakeMyTrip play digital commerce and online travel, while Wise adds a fintech angle tied to cross-border money movement and rising earnings power.

Many retirees are surprised to learn how much taxes can eat into their income, even after they stop working. But with the right planning, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Money Pickle connects you with fiduciary financial advisors who specialize in retirement tax strategy. These advisors offer a free second opinion on your current plan, including how to reduce unnecessary tax burdens on your Social Security, RMDs, or investment withdrawals.

You’ll get objective insights, not a sales pitch. And because they’re fiduciaries, they’re required to act in your best interest, not push products.
