He thinks Netflix will take a run at NBC-Universal and the market will love it. This would be a better deal than the Warners one.

The one-year chart looks terrible, but shares are back to where they were before they walked away from the Warner deal. This is a great time to get in before their next growth catalyst.

Down here, it's too cheap to sell, so let's wait for the quarter and see what happens.

New fears that it's missing the boat and needs to look for another asset. Missed on American guidance because it was front-end-loading content. Massive scale. Margins actually expanded last quarter from 29.5% to 31.5%. More subscribers, more ads (and revenue), more countries, more NFL. 

Secular growth, market leadership, economic buoyancy. Good quality compounder. Growing 15%, trades at 15x. If you're scared to buy it today, sell puts. No dividend.

It is largely mature in its North American subscriber base so growth is slow and that is their high margin area. The international base has growth but it is low margin. It is trading at a pretty high multiple of 40X earnings. It also has competition from elsewhere. People are moving more into shorts and this benefits YouTube which has twice the user base size as Netflix.

Still looking at this one. Lots of moving parts. Likes the business, great moat. Multiple right now is rich. His team likes growth but needs a margin of safety, and they're still assessing prospects of a reasonable rate of return. First-mover advantage has given way to competition.

Clear global leader in high-quality video content streaming. Pricing power in the face of competition, best-in-class customer retention. He expects revenue to grow at double-digit pace, margins should expand. 

Aggressive investment in movies and shows, but increasingly podcasts and live events. Capitalizing on digital ads. Earnings should grow at 22% compound pace for next 3 years. Trades ~22x PE, good tradeoff between value and growth. Share buybacks. No dividend.

Can't see them returning to growth in 2020-4 given competition. Also, how we consume content is changing. Returns are poor. Is not attractive at near-30x PE.

(Note the short timeframe.)  Popped up on WBD deal exit, and then fell on Q1's softer earnings outlook. Still a secular winner in streaming. Still attractive today.

Peak was during Covid. Streaming on other platforms is a real headwind. Good company and good delivery mechanism, but they need to boost content.

He has a core holding on either side of 3.5% -- he trims on the way up, buys back on the way down and writes options around it. Price for another (but smaller) M&A deal is ongoing. 

His 12-month price target is $116.33. Buy a third here ~$88, another third ~$84-85, and then ~$80.

It reports tomorrow. Every quarter is feast or famine. They announced a price increase. Subscription growth, who knows? The stock remains undervalued, is #1 in this industry and has more levers to pull, like live sports.

They report Thursday. It's a juggernaut. He gives them the benefit of the doubt to keep building and growing.
