Netflix Share Price On Track For Biggest Fall In Nearly A Decade | Mint (Livemint)

For the second time this year, Netflix shares fell sharply after the company disappointed investors.

The last time Netflix shares fell 25% on a single day was July 25, 2012, according to FactSet, a day after the company warned of slowing growth for its subscription service. The company had increased its subscription fee earlier this year. The growing number of streaming options has made consumers more price- sensitive. In January, Netflix shares slid more than 20% when the streaming company said it expected to add a much smaller number of subscribers than it did one year prior. Shares shed a quarter of their value in premarket trading Wednesday. Investors had expected that the company would add new users in the first quarter. The drop would slash around $40 billion of its market capitalization, which stood at $157 billion on Tuesday, according to FactSet.

Netflix shares crash as subscriptions fall (ig.com)

(Video Transcript). Netflix earnings review. In extended trade last night, Netflix saw its shares tumble by a quarter of its entire value.

And then, since that high point back on the 18th of November last year, we've seen a really big reduction in value and that 52% was as at the close last night. It has not been prepared in accordance with legal requirements designed to promote the independence of investment research and as such is considered to be a marketing communication. No representation or warranty is given as to the accuracy or completeness of this information. Just going back, you can see quite clearly this is a level not seen here since the 26th of September 2019. You can see quite clearly the effect of all this last night. That's the first in a decade, falling short of its forecast of adding 2.5 million more new people to its subscription list.

Netflix hints at password sharing crackdown as subscribers fall (BBC News)

The streaming giant estimates more than 100 million households are breaking its rules by sharing passwords. Boss Reed Hastings previously described the practice ...

"Those who have followed Netflix know that I've been against the complexity of advertising, and a big fan of the simplicity of subscription," he said. Netflix said the price rises would yield more money for the firm, despite the cancellations. The firm also said account sharing had probably fuelled its growth by getting more people using Netflix. In the UK, households cancelled more than 1.5 million streaming subscriptions in the first three months of the year, with 38% saying they wanted to save money. Netflix said that pulling out of Russia in March in response to the Ukraine war had cost it 700,000 subscribers. The number of households using the streaming service fell by 200,000 in the first three months of the year as it faced stiff competition from rivals.

Netflix is looking to consolidate its position in the market. It generated $800m in free cash flow in the first quarter, providing funds to reinvest in new content and cut debt. These numbers illustrate the scale of the challenges facing both the company and the wider sector. Analysts estimate the firm will spend around $20bn on content this year, nearly double the $10bn it spent in 2020. Withdrawing from Russia after its invasion of Ukraine cost another 700,000 paying users (excluding this loss, the group actually added 500,000 subscribers in the first quarter, although this was still far below Wall Street expectations). With content and market costs rising, the group is tapping its customers for extra cash, and this isn’t going down too well.

Elon Musk has fired a broadside at Netflix, blaming the streaming service's shock slump in subscribers on a “woke mind virus”.

At the same time, the Follow This climate proposal received 30pc of votes in favour – the most since it started lobbying Shell in 2016. Shipments of Lada vehicles fell 56pc in March compared to the same month last year. Shares in Netflix plunged 25pc last night.

Ten Things I Hate About You: Myriad reasons combine for Netflix ... (Investment Week)

Investors were shocked last night by the revelation numbers of new Netflix subscribers had fallen for the first time in more than a decade.

"The combination of one plus two led to three - scale. "The most obvious target would be a rival TV company such as Paramount+," Campling argued. "The media giants did not view Netflix as a rival, until their users/viewers started cutting the cord. "Netflix believes there are more than 100 million households sharing accounts, meaning it is losing out on additional subscribers and revenue," he said. Laura Hoy, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, argued that while Netflix has a relatively weak back catalogue when compared to its rivals, the streamer is adept at original programming and its name has "become synonymous with addictive TV". "That may well boost revenue in the short term, but in reality to expand its reach to people who do not interact regularly with Netflix will require the streaming firm to keep producing the goods when it comes to content."

This math shows why Netflix's stock price could plunge to $121 (MarketWatch)

With the subscriber loss in the first quarter of 2022 and guidance for further subscriber deterioration in the second quarter, the weaknesses in Netflix's ...

The above scenarios assume Netflix’s year-over-year change in invested capital is 14% of revenue (half of 2021) in each year of our DCF model. That $14.78 is the average monthly revenue per membership in the United States and Canada in the quarter. For reference, we also include the prepandemic NOPAT of Paramount Global and Warner Bros Discovery. The overall (U.S. and international) average monthly revenue per subscriber was $11.67 in 2021. To justify Netflix’s current stock price of around $240, the company must: New Constructs doesn’t perform any investment-banking functions and doesn’t operate a trading desk. Meanwhile, Netflix has stayed out of the live sports arena, a stance that looks unlikely to change. Throwing billions of dollars at content will not be enough to fend off competition, and even when spending heavily on content, new subscribers aren’t showing up. Considering the hypercompetitive, content-driven nature of the streaming business, a lack of subscriber growth is a huge red flag. More alarming, management guided for an additional loss of 2 million subscribers in the second quarter. So, the spend seemed worth it. Netflix cannot generate positive FCF and increase content spending.

Netflix share price 'aggressively hit' by Ackman exit (Fox Business)

Upholdings founder and portfolio manager Robert Cantwell discusses the billionaire's $400 million loss on Netflix.

That 200 million subscribers is not actually enough viewers for the amount of money that they're spending on content. We think it's also likely that they're going to get into licensing their content to other potential channels or even linear television to help get higher returns on their content investment. It lacked the level of unit economic depth that we've been accustomed to when Bill Ackman is getting involved in a real estate company or a retailer like Lowe's or Starbucks. And so we think even leading up into the quarter, he was getting a lot of negative feedback on the position that he took as quickly and as aggressively as he took it.
