Netflix Inc.

(NASDAQ:NFLX) shares are trading higher on Thursday after billionaire investor Bill Ackman returned to the streaming giant with a multimillion-share stake, delivering a high-profile vote of confidence as broader markets trade in risk-on mode.

Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital Management disclosed a 3.15 million-share Netflix position, representing 4.9% of its portfolio.

The renewed bet comes four years after the hedge fund exited the stock in 2022, taking a loss of more than $400 million.
