Netflix - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Tuesday, March 18, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Netflix pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Netflix
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Netflix, Inc.:

Netflix, Inc. has shown strong financial performance, reporting a revenue increase of 16.0% compared to the same quarter last year, indicating robust growth in its subscriber base and content offerings.
The stock is currently priced at $930.91, reflecting a significant market capitalization of $398.20 billion, which suggests strong investor confidence and market presence.
Analysts have a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" for Netflix, Inc., with a target price of $1,016.78, indicating potential for price appreciation based on future earnings expectations.
Institutional investors own 80.93% of Netflix, Inc.'s stock, which often signals confidence in the company's long-term prospects and stability.
Recent upgrades from analysts, including price target increases from firms like Deutsche Bank and Macquarie, suggest positive sentiment and expectations for continued growth in the company's valuation.

Netflix
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Netflix, Inc. for these reasons:

The stock has a high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 46.88, which may indicate that it is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a price correction.
Netflix, Inc. faces increasing competition in the streaming market, which could impact its subscriber growth and market share, affecting future revenue.
Insider selling has been notable, with executives selling a total of 288,103 shares valued at over $279 million in the last 90 days, which may raise concerns about the company's future performance.
The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.56 suggests a moderate level of debt, which could pose risks if interest rates rise or if the company faces cash flow challenges.
Market volatility, as indicated by a beta of 1.38, suggests that Netflix, Inc.'s stock price may be more volatile than the overall market, which could lead to higher investment risk.
