Netflix's Regions Abroad Are All Growing Faster Than Its Home Market. I Don't Think That Makes the Stock a Bargain.

Netflix's U.S. and Canada revenue growth has slowed dramatically from 18% to 10% in just two quarters, while international regions show faster growth but are also decelerating on a currency-neutral basis. Despite international expansion, the analyst argues the stock is not a bargain given slowing revenue growth across all regions and lower revenue per member abroad compared to the home market.

Netflix Is Reportedly Cutting 5% of Its Staff. Its 2022 Layoffs Came Days After the Stock Bottomed.

Netflix is reportedly planning to cut around 5% of its ~16,000-person workforce (approximately 800 jobs) as early as next week. The layoffs aim to align non-content spending growth with slowing revenue growth. Unlike the 2022 layoffs that coincided with a stock bottom, the current situation differs: Netflix maintains double-digit revenue growth and a 33.4% operating margin, suggesting this is a margin optimization move rather than a defensive measure. The stock trades at 19x forward earnings, with revenue growth cooling from 18% to 13% year-over-year.

Netflix's Newest Rival Has Nearly $70 Billion in Annual Sales. It Also Carries About $82 Billion of Debt.

Skydance, formed from Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, now generates nearly $70 billion in annual revenue, surpassing Netflix's expected $51 billion. However, Skydance carries $82 billion in debt with $6.4 billion in annual interest expenses, compared to Netflix's $14.3 billion debt and $777 million interest expense.

The analyst concludes Netflix remains the stronger competitor due to superior profitability and lower debt burden, though rising content costs pose a future challenge.

Don't Sell Netflix: NFLX Is the One Streaming Pick I'd Add to Today

Despite Netflix trading down 50% from highs while the S&P 500 is up 13% YTD, analyst argues the stock remains a strong long-term buy. Netflix shows solid fundamentals with 13% YTD revenue growth, expanding content into sports and live programming, and aggressive share buybacks at lower prices. Trading at a P/E of 21—historically low for the company—Netflix is well-positioned against legacy competitors and should benefit from sustained streaming demand growth.

Is Netflix (NFLX) Stock a Buy?

Netflix has been an exceptional long-term performer, turning $1,000 into $43,000 over 15 years. However, the company's growth is slowing with Q2 revenue up only 13.4% year-over-year. While valuation metrics appear reasonable compared to historical averages, the mature streaming market with intense competition from Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube makes Netflix not particularly compelling at current levels. The author suggests buying a little could work long-term, but better opportunities exist elsewhere.

Is a Microsoft Stock Split Coming After 23 Years?

Microsoft's stock price has reached $518, near its record high, but the company hasn't announced a stock split in 23 years despite its share price being significantly higher than historical split thresholds. While peers like Nvidia, Broadcom, and Netflix recently announced splits at much higher price points, analyst Daniel Sparks doubts Microsoft will split soon, noting that fractional shares and the company's strong fundamentals (22% earnings growth) make a split less urgent.
