Netflix shares

Analyst at Deutsche Bank says market has priced in Netflix’s leading position

Despite Netflix recently posting impressive earnings, Deutsche Bank has opted to downgrade its rating on NFLX shares from buy to hold, while simultaneously raising the price target from $460 to $525.

On Wednesday, the company’s share price surged by over 10% to $549 after the Netflix earnings report revealed that the company had added over 13 million subscribers in Q4 last year, blowing by its own estimates and marking its best-ever fourth quarter in terms of new subscriptions.

In a research note cited by MarketWatch, Bryan Craft, a Deutsche Bank analyst, wrote:

“Netflix is still the best story in media among the vertically integrated producers/programmers/distributors”.

“However, we think that Netflix’s leadership position is fully priced into the stock at these levels with Netflix trading at 32x 2024E / 27x 2025E EPS, which we see as leaving little room for multiple expansion given what we think will be peak EPS growth in 2024 (at 38%); decelerating to 21% and 16% in 2025 and 2026, respectively”.

The analyst note mentioned that there would still be some positive impact on 2024 results from the crackdown on password sharing but emphasized that the easily achievable gains have already been realized.

Advertising is still in its early days and “2024 will be more about growing the ads tier base and building out the international sales effort than scaling ad revenue in a meaningful way,” he said.
