Worries that
\n Netflix\u2019s<\/span>
\n crackdown on password sharing would be damaging proved to be unfounded. Ditto with worries about the new ad-supported tier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n Netflix
\n \u00a0blew expectations for subscriber growth out of the water. The company missed Wall Street\u2019s hopes for revenue and had slightly weaker guidance than hoped for the third quarter. But the 5.6% drop in shares in the premarket Thursday, to $450.66, seems way out of proportion if that were the reason people are selling.<\/p>\n

\n

There may be some knee-jerk pushback after the shares more than doubled over the past year. Some investors may have decided to buy leading up to the earnings to sell on the news.<\/p>\n

Benchmark analyst Matthew Harrigan identified the real problem before earnings were released. He has a Sell rating on the shares, though he did raise his price target to $293 from $250 on July 18.<\/p>\n

With many competitors in streaming now, Netflix is only as good as its content. The strike by Hollywood writers and actors is therefore a big problem for the company, even if, as it turns out, it actually increases profits in the short term. Competitors also offer live sports and news, which Netflix doesn\u2019t\u2014at least not yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven with Netflix\u2019s advantages as far as new content inventory and more significant overseas production not subject to the U.S. labor shutdown, it is conceivable 2024 growth could be dampened by prolonged strikes,\u201d Harrigan wrote. \u201cThe level of mutual acrimony in the entertainment trade media is worsening.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the rub for Netflix. Without new and unique programming, it doesn\u2019t look that special.<\/p>\n

Of course, other analysts disagree. Jeffrey Wlodarczak at Pivotal Research Group raised his price target for the stock from $535 to $600 after Wednesday\u2019s earnings.<\/p>\n

\u201cNetflix remains a very affordable, arguably underpriced, entertainment product and management has demonstrated continually an ability to successfully take price,\u201d he wrote in a note Thursday. \u201cWe recommend investors take advantage of the pullback and add to positions.\u201d<\/p>\n
