HSBC Securities recently downgraded the stock\u00a0 to Hold from Buy and cut its 12 month\u00a0 price target to $76 from $96, a reduction of about 21%.\u00a0 BMO Capital Markets maintained their Outperform rating, and Sanford C. Bernstein reiterated their Buy rating.\u00a0 The divide in analyst coverage is based on whether Netflix\u2019s growth in subscriptions, pricing and advertising can justify a bullish view as revenue growth slows.<\/p>\n<p>The business is still growing, as Netflix reported second-quarter revenue of $12.6 billion, up 13% year over year, and a 33.4% operating margin. It expects 2026 revenue of $51.0 billion to $51.4 billion and roughly $3 billion in advertising revenue. At the same time, its third-quarter forecast calls for slower revenue growth of about 12%, making the pace of growth and the profitability of that growth central to the valuation debate.<\/p>\n<p>The bullish case rests on membership growth, pricing, advertising and sustained cash generation. The cautious case is that slower growth or higher content costs could leave less room for the shares to rise. The next results should show whether advertising and pricing can support Netflix\u2019s revenue forecast while margins improve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix (NFLX) Netflix (NFLX) currently has a divided analyst outlook from the updated coverage from several analysts.
