About this episode

It’s reporting season, when listed companies hand in their report cards and share prices swing on the results. This week Soph and Vic dig into two of them. Netflix grew its profit by around 43%, yet its shares fell, so what were investors actually reacting to, and why is YouTube now the rival to watch? Then there’s a company you’ve probably bought from without realising: EssilorLuxottica, owner of Ray-Ban, Oakley and Sunglass Hut, whose shares just had their biggest one-day jump since 2008.
