Netflix Sees Significant Hedge Fund Interest in Latest 13F Filings
Recent reviews of the 133 latest 13F filings for the reporting period ending March 31, 2025, reveal that Netflix Inc. (Symbol: NFLX) was held by 47 of these funds. When multiple hedge fund managers share similar views, a closer examination is warranted.
It’s crucial to remember that 13F filings provide an incomplete picture. Funds need only disclose their long positions to the SEC, leaving short positions hidden. For instance, a fund could be bearish on a stock while still holding a long position. While this long component can appear in a 13F, it doesn’t reflect the fund’s overall bearish sentiment.
Despite this limitation, analyzing groups of 13F filings can be insightful, especially when comparing different holding periods. Below, we assess the changes in NFLX positions from this latest batch of 13F filers:
