Netflix (NFLX) - Earnings From These 3 Stocks Could Be Key
By: Jay Woods | April 11, 2025
🔸 Netflix (NFLX) has given back all its gains from its last earnings cycle and hopes it can regain those levels when it reports on Thursday.
Shares are seen as a safer haven in this tariff war environment, but have not been immune to the wild market swings we have been seeing. NFLX has continued to put up solid numbers and fared better than most growth stocks during this time.
FIGURE 3. DAILY CHART OF NFLX. A head and shoulders top, bullish divergence in the RSI, and bullish MACD crossover lean toward a bullish move.
Technically, there are several more positives than negatives. NFLX's stock price has formed a head-and-shoulders top, but failed to break its neckline at the $820 level and bounced. That was one positive development, but the pattern still hangs over the stock for now.
Secondly, there's a bullish divergence in its relative strength index (RSI) when you compare it to recent price action. As price made new lows, the RSI did not. That indicates something has changed — this recent sell-off was not as strong as its predecessor and that a reversal may be coming.
Lastly, we may be experiencing a bullish crossover in its moving average convergence/divergence (MACD). While we always want confirmation, sometimes anticipating the move may be worth the risk. When tied into the above two factors, I believe it is.
The stock has a history of gaps after earnings, so watch that gap and price action immediately afterward. If NFLX experiences a gap higher and above the 50-day moving average, you can use that as a stop to manage risk. To the downside, watch to see if the $820 level holds. If it doesn't, there could be an accelerated move to the downside.

Netflix Stock Surges 47.9% in a Year on Content Strategy: Time to Buy?
By: Zacks Investment Research | April 11, 2025
Netflix NFLX continues to demonstrate why it remains the undisputed king of streaming, with an impressive 47.9% rise in its stock price over the past year, significantly outperforming tech giants like Apple AAPL, Amazon AMZN and Disney DIS, as well as the broader Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector.
The company's relentless focus on diverse, high-quality content has positioned it as not just a survivor but a dominant force in the increasingly competitive streaming landscape.
Original & Diversified Content Fuels NFLX Subscriber Growth
Netflix's strategy of investing in original programming is paying massive dividends. The Arctic-set comedy series North of North demonstrates how Netflix continues to discover and elevate fresh talent while exploring underrepresented communities and stories. This approach to authentic storytelling resonates globally, contributing to the company's extraordinary growth of 18.91 million subscribers during its fourth quarter — the biggest quarter of net adds in the company's history.
Netflix has masterfully balanced its content portfolio across genres, formats, and audience demographics. The return of critically acclaimed series like Black Mirror for its seventh season demonstrates the platform's ability to maintain successful franchises while taking creative risks. This diversity in programming contributes to the platform's average revenue per membership increase of 1% year over year and 3% on a foreign-exchange neutral basis in the fourth quarter.
The upcoming release of Carlos Alcaraz: My Way, a three-part documentary following the youngest number 1 in tennis history, signals Netflix's continued expansion into sports storytelling. This strategy attracts sports enthusiasts to the platform while cross-pollinating audiences, contributing to the impressive 15% year-over-year increase in average paid memberships.
Strategic IP Acquisitions and Adaptations of NFLX
The streaming giant's new adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice starring Emma Corrin, Jack Lowden, and Olivia Colman showcases its savvy approach to intellectual property. By pairing beloved source material with prestigious talent, Netflix builds anticipation and cultural cachet that translates to subscriber retention and growth, helping drive its total subscriber base to an impressive 301.63 million paid subscribers across more than 190 countries globally, up 15.9% year over year.
Financial Performance Supports Bullish Outlook
Netflix's financial performance underscores the strength of its content strategy. The company finished 2024 with 302 million memberships, adding 19 million paid subscribers in the fourth quarter alone — the biggest quarter of net additions in its history. Revenues grew to $10.25 billion in fourth-quarter 2024, with operating income reaching $2.27 billion.
For 2025, Netflix forecasts revenues of $43.5-$44.5 billion and an operating margin of 29%, up from its previous forecast. Free cash flow is expected to reach approximately $8 billion, providing ample resources for continued content investment.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NFLX’s 2025 revenues is pegged at $44.47 billion, indicating 14.03% year-over-year growth. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $24.58 per share, indicating a 23.95% increase from the previous year.
Netflix, Inc. Price and Consensus
Netflix, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Netflix, Inc. Quote
Despite its dominance, Netflix has only captured approximately 6% of the $650 billion entertainment revenue market in which it operates (excluding China and Russia). With more than 750 million broadband households available in these markets, the runway for growth remains enormous. The company's innovative approach to monetization, including its ad-supported plans that accounted for more than 55% of sign-ups in ad countries in the fourth quarter, positions it well to capture additional market share.
Investment Outlook
Netflix's introduction of an Extra Member with Ads offering in 10 of the 12 countries where it has an ads plan demonstrates its commitment to flexibility and choice. This approach has proven effective, with membership on the ads plan growing nearly 30% quarter over quarter.
For investors looking to capitalize on the streaming revolution, Netflix represents a compelling opportunity at current valuations. The company's proven ability to consistently develop hit programming across genres positions it for sustained growth as global streaming adoption continues. With international markets still showing significant growth potential and Netflix's content strategy more refined than ever, now appears to be an ideal time for investors to add NFLX to their portfolios before the next wave of subscriber and revenue expansion. NFLX currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

• MoffettNathanson cited the streamer's monetization efforts
Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) is climbing out of the gate this morning, up 4.3% at $957.12, after landing an upgrade to "buy" from "neutral" at MoffettNathanson. The brokerage also hiked its price target by $250 to $1,000, an 8.9% upside to Friday's close of $918, citing the company's ability to enhance engagement monetization.
Over the past 12 months Netflix stock has climbed 55%, though its shorter-term performance has struggled. Since the start of 2025 the equity has inched 5% higher, with its most recent pullback captured by the ascending 120-day moving average. Today's pop puts the shares even closer to their Feb. 14 record high of $1,064.50, and on pace for their best day since Jan. 22.
Heading into today analyst sentiment was split.

Netflix (NFLX) Stock Could Bounce Off Bullish Trendline
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | February 26, 2025
• Netflix stock could climb back towards its recent peak
• Options are affordable for those who want to speculate
The shares of streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) pulled back alongside the broader market, logging losses in the past four sessions after hitting a Feb. 14 record high of $1,064.50. However, the security was last seen 2.3% higher to trade at $998.53, approaching a historically bullish trendline that fueled its climb to that peak and could provide additional tailwinds.
According to Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rock White, NFLX is nearing its 50-day moving average after spending a significant stretch above it. Specifically, 80% of the past two months, and eight of the last 10 trading days. In the last three years, the stock triggered this signal nine times, with a one-month gain occurring 67% of the time and averaging a 5.8% return. A similar move would place NFLX back above $1,050.
Despite the recent dip, the stock remains a strong performer, boasting an 12.2% year-to-date lead and a 66.3% gain over the past 12 months. The equity has climbed higher every month since August and is on track for its seventh consecutive monthly win.
Bearish bets have been piling up over the past two weeks, with Netflix stock's 10-day put/call volume ratio of 1 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) ranking in the 88th percentile of its annual range. This suggests an unusually high preference for puts over calls among traders, even as the equity trades near record highs.
Meanwhile, options appear to offer an attractive way to speculate on NFLX's next move. The stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 31% ranks in the 16th percentile of its annual range, indicating relatively low volatility expectations -- a boon for premium buyers.

Netflix (NFLX) Stock Earns Upgrade Ahead of Earnings
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | January 16, 2025
• Netflix will report fourth-quarter earnings after the close on Tuesday, Jan. 21
• NFLX could see a wave of bull notes if the streaming giant reports upbeat earnings
Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is scheduled to announce its fourth-quarter earnings after the market closes on Tuesday, January 21. The streaming giant is looking to follow up its October post-earnings surge with another strong performance.
Historically, Netflix stock has had a mixed bag of post-earnings reactions, finishing four out of eight next-day sessions higher over the past two years. After its October report, the stock soared 11.1%. This time around, options traders are pricing in a 9.4% move for NFLX, regardless of direction, slightly more than the 8.6% average post-earnings swing over the last eight reports.
Shares are up 1% to $856.50 at last glance, receiving a boost from an upgrade to "buy" from Seaport Research Partners. BMO and Oppenheimer have chimed in with price-target hikes of their own to $1,000 and $1,040, respectively, from $825 and $1,065. Despite the 25% gain in the past three months and an all-time high of $941.75 on Dec. 11, Netflix stock is down 3.8% year-to-date.
An outstanding earnings report could shake loose some of the analysts on the fence. Of the 41 brokerages covering Netflix, 17 maintain a "hold" or worse rating.
Options traders are showing a preference for puts ahead of earnings. NFLX's 10-day put/call volume ratio of 1.02 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) ranks in the 90th percentile of its annual range. This indicates an unusually high demand for puts in the last two weeks, and these traders could be forced to capitulate in the event of a post-earnings move to the upside.

Netflix (NFLX) Stock Could Soon Stage a Rebound
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | January 7, 2024
• Netflix stock has pulled back to its bullish 50-day moving average
• The stock pulled back from last month's record highs, but has support in place
Streaming giant Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) has pulled back from its recent Dec. 11 record high of $941.75, last seen down 0.3% at $879.32 and headed for its seventh loss in the last eight days. The shares are still up 81.2% year over year, however, and could soon bounce back from their short-term drop.
Per Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rock White, NFLX is within striking distance of its 50-day moving average after a lengthy period above it (defined by White as 80% of the time over the past two months and 8 of the last 10 trading days). The stock has seen eight similar signals over the past three years, after which it was higher one month later 63% of the time with an average 4.6% gain.
There is plenty of room for upgrades that could give the stock a boost, as 17 of the 31 analysts in coverage carry a "hold" or worse rating. Plus, the 12-month consensus price target of $858.29 is still a slight discount to current levels, which could bring price-target hikes.
A shift in the options pits could provide tailwinds as well, as options traders have been more bearish than usual. This is per NFLX's 10-day put/call volume ratio of 1.11 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), which ranks higher than 97% of readings from the past year.
Options look like a good way to go when weighing in on Netflix stock, per its Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SV) of 27% that ranks in the 9th percentile of its annual range, meaning options traders are pricing in low volatility expectations.

Netflix Stock Could Be Next in Line for a Split After it Hits $1,100
By: 24/7 Wall St. | November 29, 2024
If there’s a mega-cap tech titan out there that’s overdue for a stock split, it’s Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX). After an impressive parabolic surge, NFLX shares now find themselves flirting with $900 per share.
Undoubtedly, having the stock hit such a level would have been difficult to imagine two and a half years ago when the name bottomed out in the $180 range after suffering a devastating crash that saw over 74% in value wiped out.
With so much momentum behind the stock, which has more than tripled in two years (210% gain), perhaps the streaming giant was far more magnificent than we gave it credit for during its post-pandemic decline. Apart from retaining its streaming crown in the face of stiff industry competition by sticking with its unmatched content strategy, the company has demonstrated it’s more than willing to take a risk to transform itself in the new streaming era that includes live sporting events.
Key Points About This Article
• As Netflix live streaming helps power shares to $1,100, a stock split seems warranted.
• The Paul vs. Tyson fight shows the magnitude of demand to be had for live sports.
• If you’re looking for some stocks with huge potential, make sure to grab a free copy of our brand-new “The Next NVIDIA” report. It features a software stock we’re confident has 10X potential.
The massive silver lining to the technical difficulties experienced during Paul vs. Tyson
Undoubtedly, jumping into less familiar territory (live streaming for Netflix) can cause one to fumble the ball in a big way. Most notably, the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match in November frustrated many fans when a profound number of viewers (around 107 million globally) caused buffering issues and outages. Perhaps Jake Paul put it best: the vast number of fans “broke the site.” Despite the horrid technical issues that plagued the event, however, shares reacted positively.
Simply put, demand was off the charts, and more similar live events may be key to boosting growth. Further, technical difficulties can be conquered. And if there’s a firm that can learn the ropes (no pun intended), it’s Netflix, which rose to glory by navigating far outside its comfort zone, making a few mistakes along the way. Such mistakes are more than forgivable, in my view, especially as Netflix learns and grows its new drivers.
Whether such new growth, like that experienced in live-streaming events, can help propel NFLX stock well into the quadruple-digits to warrant a split in the new year remains to be seen.
Either way, today’s share price, $872, and change per share seems quite hefty for a new retail investor who’s just starting out.
Of course, the advent of buying partial shares at some brokerages enables many to start a diversified portfolio, including shares of companies with very high prices, with a smaller investable sum. That said, stock splits are never a bad thing, especially in this environment where retail demand has grown to become quite lofty.
This bullish analyst sees NFLX stock soaring to $1,100. A split could follow shortly after.
Recently, Pivotal Research Group analyst Jeffrey Wlodarczak hiked his price target on NFLX stock to $1,100, citing technical shortcomings of the Paul vs. Tyson fight as nothing more than a “successful learning experience.” He’s right. If Tyson were to fight Logan Paul, the brother of Jake Paul, next, I’m sure we’ll all be tuning back in despite bad experiences with the quality of the previous stream.
Though it’s hard to tell what the next big live event will be, I think it’s safe to say that Netflix now knows the magnitude of what it faces. And with that, it’ll (hopefully) have the improvements in place to deliver a more seamless stream. Up ahead, Mr. Wlodarczak is also bullish on the potential to be had in sports. He’s right on the money. Netflix knows how to draw in viewers. And if it can support them, I’d bet they’d be that much more willing to not only stick with their subscriptions but pay higher prices.
Up ahead, Netflix has two NFL games to stream on Christmas Day. And shortly after that, some WWE Monday Night Raw will be up to the plate. Though I don’t expect either live event to draw in the crowds that Paul vs. Tyson did, I do find that each event will help strengthen Netflix’s live-streaming muscles.
Who knows? Perhaps they’ll grow to become strong enough to support more than 100 million concurrent viewers come the next big live fight event. Whether it features Mike Tyson and one of the Pauls remains to be seen.
Either way, strength in live-streaming sports is real. And as Netflix stock makes a move to $1,100, one has to think a split will be penciled in at some point.
