Pete Najarian Netflix Inc. NFLX-Q COMMENT Jun 10, 2022

They plan to buy Formula One's TV rights, and they are in the best position to leverage more than anybody else buying such rights. Hopes it happens. Flawless execution.

It's now a momentum story, but now very expensive. A great company. He bought a lot of shares during the sell-off a few years ago when competitors like Prime launched. There are better opportunities in gen AI. They've done a great job in live programming (sports).

Clearly winning the streaming wars, being pulled upward by increasing number of global subscribers. That's driving pricing power. New ad-supported tier, password-sharing crackdown. Investing in original content. Live sports are generating revenue. No dividend.

Increasing cashflow. Sees 23% earnings growth. Shares are down ~15%.

(Note the short timeframe.)  Until the last couple of weeks, the media sector has held up extremely well. Perhaps investors are thinking this area is not as impacted by tariffs. Correction Feb/March, but already bouncing back.

He and Lang suggests consumer-oriented stocks with a subscription base that work even in a slowdown: Netflix, Roku and Spotify. Last January, NFLX reported a super quarter, then shares gapped up, but rolled over mid-February with the market. Lang says that was a reset. Shares have been rebounding ever since, now 9% this year. NFLX has resistance at $1,000, but if it breaks that, Lang thinks it can reach $1,250. A momentum indicator--MACD--recently made a bullish crossover. Meanwhile, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is slightly bullish; big buyers are still buying. RSI is starting to bounce after hitting oversold earlier this month, now around 50, so there's a ways to go before being overbought.

Their edge is their content library. Doesn't pay a dividend, so be disciplined: if you double your money, sell half. Any business news will punish shares. 

The chart shows a head and shoulders formation. It's a great, worldwide company that's done many things right. Is up only 5% this year. He likes subscription models.

It recorded a great quarter last week and last January, but hasn't been immune from this ugly market. But it has made up its recent losses and it up 10.84% this year. They reported a solid revenue beat and monster earnings beat. Also, they didn't sound nervous about the future or the economy. but gave strong guidance for this quarter and reiterated their full-year.

Impressed by last week's quarterly results. Cracking down on password sharing is generating more revenue. Innovating by launching ad-supported versions. Geographic expansion. Aggressive investment in content. Has become a big free cashflow story.

Officially classified as a consumer discretionary stock, but he considers it more akin to a utility. A relatively inexpensive indulgence for the value it offers. Difficult macro headwinds would have minimal impact.

Take out your cost basis (take some profits) and let it run.
