Better Buy: Netflix vs. Alphabet

Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL), the parent company of Google, both belong to the "FAANG" cohort of top U.S. tech companies, alongside Facebook, Apple, and Amazon. Like those other companies, Netflix and Alphabet disrupted older markets and changed people's habits. Netflix disrupted the video rental and pay TV markets by transforming its mail-based DVD rental service into a streaming platform.
