“During the third quarter of 2023, an underweight to real estate and an overweight to healthcare helped performance, while an overweight to information technology and an underweight to energy detracted. Stock selection was strong within information technology and consumer staples but was weak within financials and communication services. Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX), the internet streaming subscription service company, missed expectations. That suggested the company’s crackdown on pass-word sharing has yet to deliver the sales growth analysts expect.”
