Amazon Seeks $12 Billion in Bond Sale, Netflix Trading After Stock Split

Amazon, the e-commerce giant, is making headlines by seeking to raise a whopping $12 billion through a bond sale, as reported by Bloomberg.

On the Chinese front, EV maker Xbung has reported fourth-quarter revenue that fell short of what analysts were expecting. Despite this, they did manage to surpass expectations for losses in the third quarter. Looking ahead, analysts anticipate that Xbung could turn the corner and start posting profits as early as the first quarter of 2026. As a result, their shares have taken a hit, dropping by over 7 and a half percent.

Shifting gears to the exciting world of streaming entertainment, Netflix has recently undergone a 10-for-1 stock split. This means that every shareholder now holds nine additional shares for each one they previously had. It’s important to note that stock splits, like this one, don’t alter the overall value of the company or the equity owned by individual shareholders. Instead, they aim to make the stock more affordable for everyday investors who may want to own more whole shares. As a result of the split, Netflix shares have seen little change in their trading activity since the announcement in late October.
