With many Silicon Valley executives in attendance at President Trump’s inauguration on Monday, what will this administration’s evolving relationship with Big Tech look like? Christoff & Co. CEO Niki Christoff joins Asking for a Trend to discuss her outlook on Big Tech as President Donald Trump returns to the White House. Christoff notes that President Trump “delineates” between Big Tech and “little tech,” saying that Trump “has been no friend of Big Tech and the consolidation of power.” However, she suggests that the presence of Big Tech executives at the inauguration was less about their message to Trump and more about what he’s communicating to the public. “I would say that the leaders we saw are across the spectrum of enthusiasm and attitudes toward this new administration. You have everyone from Elon Musk… to Mark Zuckerberg,” she explains. When it comes to executives like Apple’s (AAPL) Tim Cook and Alphabet’s (GOOG, GOOGL) Sundar Pichai, she states, “I don’t know if they want to be there necessarily, but it is their job to be there.” She points out that tension between Republicans and tech officials has persisted for years. In the current environment, Christoff observes that tech workers are being “gutted,” citing the elimination of DEI policies and a challenging job market: “it’s not the era it once was.” To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend here.

Netflix (NFLX) reported strong fiscal fourth quarter earnings on Tuesday, beating expectations. Santosh Rao, head of research at Manhattan Venture Partners, joins Market Domination Overtime to share insights on Netflix’s strategy, highlighting profitability as a key focus moving forward. Rao suggests that Netflix’s future growth will center on live sports. Rao notes, “That’s the biggest trigger for the media companies; that is where the real action is.” That Netflix raised its operating margin forecast for the full year to 29% is a “good sign,” Rao says, noting that he expects ad revenue to make up for the high cost of live sports down the road. “[Ad tier is] going to pull in a lot of people, it’s going to keep people there,” Rao explains. “Over time, I expect them to raise prices, that’s for sure, because they need to pay for all these expenses … it’s going to be their growth engine for the next few years and probably even surpass the … paid subscription model.” Additionally, Rao expects the ad-supported tier to expand and anticipates price hikes to support content investments and long-term growth.
