How has Entertainment moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 24% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 18% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 32 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Sector relative strength · before individual stocks
Is Entertainment outperforming S&P 500?
Entertainment has outperformed S&P 500 by 19.5% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 7.8%. 17 of 26 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Starz Entertainment Corp. is the strongest against the sector itself at +41.7%.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Roku, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 64.6% evidence confidence.
Sirius XM Holdings Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -37.2% and the one-year return is -37.5%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
The Walt Disney Company has the highest Revenue among the 27 Entertainment companies compared here, at $97,263 million. Netflix, Inc. is next at $48,371 million. Sphere Entertainment Co. has the highest Revenue growth at 21.6%, so level and change sit with different companies. 23 of 27 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: The Walt Disney Company is the scale leader at $97,263 million, 101.1% ahead of Netflix, Inc.. Sphere Entertainment Co.'s growth is 21.6% from a $1,326 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: The Walt Disney Company is the scale benchmark; Sphere Entertainment Co. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: The Walt Disney Company's growth falls below Sphere Entertainment Co.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Entertainment comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 27 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
1 company has an older fundamental reporting date than the sector’s freshest reporters; its rank carries a stale marker.
10 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 27 companies in the canonical Entertainment membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 27 Entertainment companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
These 18 answers restate the Entertainment comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 27 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Entertainment company is the biggest?
The Walt Disney Company is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $97,263 million, ahead of Netflix, Inc. at $48,371 million. That covers 23 of 27 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Entertainment company is growing fastest?
Sphere Entertainment Co. has the fastest revenue growth at 21.6% year on year, across 22 of 27 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Entertainment company has the best profit margins?
Netflix, Inc. has the highest operating margin at 33.4%, from 27 of 27 comparable companies. Angel Studios, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +68.5 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Entertainment company makes the most profit?
Netflix, Inc. earns the most, at $13,650 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 23 of 27 comparable companies. TKO Group Holdings, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Entertainment company earns the highest return on capital?
Netflix, Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 9.3%, across 27 of 27 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Entertainment stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — The Walt Disney Company screens cheapest at 0.53×. Only 11 of 27 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Entertainment company has the strongest balance sheet?
Starz Entertainment Corp. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $0 million, from 26 of 27 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Entertainment company is investing most in new capacity?
The Walt Disney Company reports the largest capital spending at $1,973 million, across 27 of 27 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Entertainment sector beating the market?
Entertainment has outperformed S&P 500 by 19.5% over the last 52 weeks and 7.8% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 17 of 26 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Entertainment stock has the strongest price momentum?
Starz Entertainment Corp. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Entertainment company scores highest for research priority?
Roku, Inc. scores 61 out of 100 with 64.6% evidence confidence, from 24.2 points on growth and earnings, 12.3 on capital efficiency, 9.3 on valuation and 15.2 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Entertainment companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 27 Entertainment companies on this page is 44.4×, measured on the 20 that report a comparable figure.

How many Entertainment stocks are listed in the US?

Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
