POTENTIAL STRATEGIC BUYERS
COMCAST
• Already strong relationship with Netflix (from deal on its X1 platform)
• COMCAST: Since it struggles to make streaming impact, it can leverage Netflix, penetrating mkt.
NETFLIX: In 2022, experienced subscriber loss, by being acquired, could gain access to not only
large and previously untapped platform, but (most likely) new content from Comcast as well.
TENCENT
HOLDINGS
• In 2020, Tencent acquired Iflix (’Netflix of Asia’) in hopes of becoming a streaming giant
• TENCENT : Gain access to its original content, enhancing WeTV content, global expansion
• NETFLIX : Capitalize Tencent’s Experience in the video game industry for future gaming expansion
