NETFLIX STOCK – SPECULATION IN THE MARKET

Netflix has had a long, upward ride, in its stock price.

In 2008, Netflix’s stock  could be purchased for under $4.  In May of 2010, a share of stock could be purchased for $14 per share.  In 2012, the share price went down to under $12.  The share price is now $252, on 2/2/2018.   On 8/29/2017, the share price was $165, for a gain of almost $90 in approximately 7 months.   This is nothing less than incredible.

The price-earning ratio is now almost 100 (92.74).  I looked at an estimate of the 5 year earnings growth rate of Netflix, which is 26.67%.   Watch out for any miss on the earnings growth.

We have past data, for the years ending 12/31/2014 to 12/31/2017.  In that period, revenue went from approximately $5.5 billion to $11.7 billion, approximately double.  Net Income increased from $226.8 million to $559 million.

The risk with Netflix stock is if earnings growth is not as expected, the stock returns to a normal price-earnings ratio.  The industry average price-earnings ratio is under 12.
