Meta Platforms offers a stronger case for retirement investors compared to Netflix, trading at a lower valuation with a P/E of 22 versus Netflix's 28. Meta pays a modest but consistent dividend and has a larger stock buyback program, providing income and capital returns, while Netflix pays no dividend. Meta's growth is accelerating with 33% revenue growth in Q1 2026, compared to Netflix's slower 16% growth. For retirees prioritizing income, valuation discipline, and growth, Meta is the preferred choice, though Netflix remains suitable for growth-focused investors comfortable with higher risk and valuation multiples.
