  • Analysts were bullish on Netflix stock ahead of its earnings beat, but what is Wall Street saying now? We take a closer look.

The article from Kiplinger discusses the current state of Netflix (NFLX) stock following its recent earnings report and price hikes. Netflix reported a significant increase in subscribers, adding 5.9 million in the last quarter, surpassing expectations and reversing a previous trend of subscriber losses. This growth was attributed to a strong content slate and the introduction of an ad-supported tier. However, the company also announced price increases for its basic and premium plans in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., which could potentially affect subscriber growth moving forward. Despite these positive developments, the stock experienced a slight dip after the earnings release, possibly due to concerns over future growth rates and the impact of price hikes. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic, with some suggesting that Netflix's strategic moves, including cracking down on password sharing and expanding into new markets, could support further growth, but they also highlight the competitive streaming landscape and the need for continuous content investment. The article concludes that while Netflix stock might still be a buy, investors should consider the balance between growth potential and the challenges the company faces.
