Netflix: Proving the Naysayers WrongWhy NFLX could be a $2,000 stock
Bears Say…
NFLX is a niche service facing significant competition
Already one of the world’s largest media subscription services, NFLX is watched 10-20x more than its closest competitors
Content producers have all the leverage while NFLX is just a distributor ripe to be squeezed
International growth will disappoint due to entrenched competition and differing media consumption habits
NFLX is a great service, but its financial results will never justify its current price
NFLX’s global scale and growing checkbook positions it as the buyer of choice for premium licensed and original content
The desire to consume Hollywood content is universal, and strong adoption in its early international markets has given NFLX the confidence to accelerate its global rollout
The company’s global subscription model along with eventual pricing power will translate into profitability well beyond consensus expectations
Says…
NFLX is an overvalued content distributor with too many competitors to meet lofty expectations
NFLX is quickly becoming one of the most powerful media companies in the world
We expect global subscribers to approach 150m by 2020
NFLX Has Tripled Its Subscriber Base in 3 Yrs.
