Key Points
Optimism around Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) is rising despite the stock’s underperformance, which saw an 11% loss last month and is currently trading at a 40% discount from its 52-week high. The company’s revenue in 2025 was reported at $45 billion, a 16% annual increase, with net income reaching nearly $11 billion—up 26% over the same period.
Netflix’s recent acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery for $82.7 billion in an all-cash deal is causing investor concern over its financial stability. The company has paused share repurchases and forecasts revenue growth to decrease to 12%-14% in 2026. While the stock trades at approximately 32 times earnings, significantly lower than the average P/E ratio of 44 over the last five years, its leadership position in streaming may still position it for long-term success.
