Netflix – To Be Or Not To Be?

Dec 12, 2024Jeremy ParkinsonFinance0

Summary

Netflix shows strong technical indicators with 100% buy signals, a 103.86% gain in the last year, and a Trend Seeker buy signal.

Fundamental factors include a market cap of $390 billion, a P/E ratio of 51.71, and expected revenue growth of 15.30% this year.

Analysts are mixed with 23 strong buys, 14 holds, and price targets ranging from $550 to $1,100, reflecting diverse opinions on future performance.

Despite high valuations, Netflix’s intelligent platform and global reach make it a compelling investment, though competition and market volatility are notable risks.

The Chart of the Day belongs to the streaming entertainment company Netflix (NFLX) . I found the stock by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to find stocks with the highest technical buy signals, highest Weighted Alpha, superior current momentum and having a Trend Seeker buy signal then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on 10/21 the stock gained 21.43%.NFLX Price vs Daily Moving Averages: Netflix, Inc. provides entertainment services.

Analysts and Investor Sentiment — I don’t buy stocks because everyone else is buying but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock it’s hard to make money swimming against the tide:

Wall Street analyst gave 23 strong buy, 2 buy, 14 hold a 2 sell opinions on the stock

Analysts’ price target are between $550 and $1,100 (This is a very, very wide estimate somebody will be proven wrong)

Value Line rates the stock its above average rating of 2 with price between $660 and $1,213 with a mid-range of $936 and comments:”These shares are ranked to outpace the market in the coming year. However, the recent rise in the price of the stock leaves it with only average capital appreciation potential out to 2027-2029 “

CFRA’s MarketScope rates the stock a buy with a price target of $975 and comments:”We think NFLX deserves a premium to peers given its intelligent platform that captures viewership habits to personalize viewer experience.”

MorningStar thinks the stock is 66% over valued but comments:” Netflix is beginning to face competition that it has not had to deal with in the past. As consumers have more options for quality streaming services, it’s more likely that Netflix could get cut out of some consumer budgets.”
