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.

Netflix
Bear Case

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

Despite strong earnings, Netflix, Inc. faces increasing competition in the streaming market, which could impact subscriber growth and market share.
Insider selling has been significant, with key executives selling over 209,155 shares recently, which may signal a lack of confidence in the stock's future performance.
The company's high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 53.00 suggests that the stock may be overvalued compared to its earnings, which could deter value-focused investors.
Netflix, Inc. has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.62, indicating that it has a moderate level of debt, which could pose risks if interest rates rise or if the company faces financial challenges.
