Redbox’s parent company, Coinstar, announced its fourth quarter results today, and the numbers were outstanding. The company’s earnings were nearly triple those of the same period the year before. Traders were pleasantly surprised by Coinstar’s performance, which exceeded analysts’ projections, and rewarded the company’s stock by driving up share prices more than 13 percent in after hours trading.
Look out, Netflix. Redbox, which also announced the acquisition of rival Blockbuster Express today, has teamed up with Verizon to offer a video-on-demand service. The new service will be available nationwide later this year, and will feature a download option—something Netflix is lacking.
It’s an epic day in Redbox news. One of the biggest stories is the acquisition of NCR’s DVD kiosk business by Redbox parent Coinstar. The business, currently operating under the Blockbuster Express brand, consists of about 10,000 kiosks.
