Netflix Inc.NFLXCOMMENTApr 09, 2015Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Oct 21, 2026. Market Open.
He bought more, though it's a small position, because it traded down on a downgrade--but this was piling onto a stock that already had a tough time. He thinks for a trade, this will bounce. He though their last quarter was good, though the market didn't. With everybody so negative on Netflix, he thinks the bad news is already baked in.
He's buying more shares. Investors worry NFLX is losing share to YouTube and TokTok, while Paramount and Warners will likely merge. But NFLX still has the largest user base in the world and they make the most money per engagement. This allows them to add more content than their peers. They still grow revenues and profits. Still likes it.
(Note the short timeframe.) The market loved it for a while after the abandoned WBD deal. Then market started to focus on competition. But people aren't cancelling subscriptions; in fact, just the opposite. Trades at 20x 2027 PE for double-digit growth, terrific balance sheet. Boundless opportunities, sees so much upside.
A great service and a great company, but a lot of times you have to separate the stock from the company and the business itself. There are a lot of exciting things happening with this. Global expansion where they could possibly reach 200 countries by next year. But looking at some of the negatives, there is lots of competition coming on board. This is trading at 100X trailing PE, 84X forward PE over the next 12 months. Growth rate is still pretty attractive at 35%, but you are paying quite a bit for that.
