Jason Bazinet has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Netflix’s current and future performance. One of the primary reasons is the expectation that Netflix’s revenue and EBIT for the second quarter of 2025 will slightly exceed market estimates, mainly due to favorable foreign exchange conditions. However, despite these positive tailwinds, the overall growth outlook remains moderate, with the company’s guidance aligning closely with market expectations for the upcoming quarters.
Additionally, there are several strategic areas that investors are closely monitoring, such as Netflix’s ad-tier updates, subscriber trends following recent price hikes, and the company’s evolving live content strategy, including potential partnerships with broadcasters and music platforms. These factors contribute to a cautious stance, as the market awaits further clarity and updates on these initiatives. Consequently, the Hold rating reflects a balanced view, acknowledging both the positive and uncertain elements in Netflix’s current business environment.
In another report released today, Barclays also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $1,100.00 price target.
NFLX’s price has also changed dramatically for the past six months – from $875.000 to $1275.310, which is a 45.75% increase.
