Netflix: Proving the Naysayers Wrong
Why 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.

Consumers Already Love Netflix…
57% of the nearly 800 Netflix
users queried said that, if
forced to choose, they would
keep Netflix over traditional
pay TV; 49% reported
spending more time watching
Netflix than traditional pay TV.
- From ClearVoice/FBR Survey Says
Consumes Love It More Than TV by
Barton Crockett, FBR 4/16/2015
Netflix is the 5th most
popular network … [and] is
now considered a must
have channel right behind
most broadcast channels
and ESPN.

“Must See” TV by Marci Ryvicker,
Wells Fargo 3/11/2015
