Comcast’s NBCUniversal and Amazon Expand Streaming Distribution Agreements (WSJ. 20250828)

Comcast's NBCUniversal and Amazon have expanded distribution agreements to open up access to their streaming content on each other's platforms. The companies said today that customers will be able to access subscriptions to NBCUniversal's Peacock streaming app on the Prime Video platform and Fire TV. Meanwhile, Prime Video content will be available on NBCUniversal's Xfinity X1 devices. Plus Best Buy posted a surprise, a sales increase in the second quarter as spending on electronics held up, even as the company raised prices on some items to offset tariffs. Best Buy reported that second quarter sales rose to $9.44 billion from $9.29 billion a year earlier with comparable sales up 1.6%. The company's profit fell to $186 million from $291 million the year prior. The company said it was continuing to see strong sales in August, driven by back to school events and projected similar comparable sales growth for the third quarter. Finally, CrowdStrike Holdings swung to a second quarter loss and guided for lower third quarter revenue than Wall Street anticipated, while lifting its full-year adjusted earnings outlook. Yesterday, the cybersecurity company posted a quarterly loss of $77.7 million compared with a profit of $47 million in the same quarter a year earlier. Revenue was up 21% at $1.17 billion for the second quarter. For the third quarter, CrowdStrike said it expects revenue of 1.21 to $1.22 billion.

NBCUniversal 그리고 Amazon이 당사 플랫폼에서 상대방 스트리밍 콘텐츠를 사용할 수 있는 배급 계약을 체결했음. 예컨대 Amazon의 Prime Video 및 Fire TV에서 NBCUniversal의 Peacock을 사용할 수 있음. 한편 Best Buy가 매출이 예상보다 증가했는데 관세 때문에 가격을 인상했음에도 불구하고 전자제품 판매량이 유지되었기 때문임. 판매량 및 비교매장매출도 상승했음. 이익은 전년대비 하락했음. 한편 사이버보안업체 CrowdStrike가 2분기에 손실을 기록했고, 3분기 전망은 기대치보다 낮았고, 연간 전망은 상향조정함.
