Overview
Company profile and research snapshot.
Company profile
Netflix's relatively simple business model involves only one business, its streaming service. It has the biggest television entertainment subscriber base in both the United States and the collective international market, with more than 300 million subscribers globally. Netflix has exposure to nearly the entire global population outside of China. The firm has traditionally avoided a regular slate of live programming or sports content, instead focusing on on-demand access to episodic television, movies, and documentaries. The firm introduced ad-supported subscription plans in 2022, giving the firm exposure to the advertising market in addition to the subscription fees that have historically accounted for nearly all its revenue.

Netflix, Inc. Stock Performance
Netflix, Inc. shares closed at $76.41, registering a daily gain of 1.42% per SID market data. Despite this short-term uptick, the stock has exhibited persistent weakness across broader timeframes, declining 0.33% over the trailing one-month period, 4.62% over three months, and 17.21% over the past year. The stock currently trades above its 50-day moving average of $75.79 but remains significantly below its 200-day moving average of $84.35, indicating a bearish longer-term trend structure according to Massive/Polygon technical data. The 14-day relative strength index stands at 39.5, approaching oversold territory below the conventional 30 threshold. Netflix carries a beta of 1.706, reflecting substantially higher volatility than the broader market. Average daily trading volume stands at approximately 42.16 million shares, and the company maintains a market capitalization of approximately $398.7 billion, positioning it among the largest Communication Services sector constituents.
Netflix, Inc. Valuation Analysis
Netflix, Inc. currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 38.40, reflecting a premium valuation relative to the broader market, according to SID market data. The PEG ratio stands at 18.43, suggesting that the current earnings multiple is elevated even when adjusted for the company's projected growth rate. The price-to-book ratio registers at 15.44, per SEC filings, underscoring the market's significant premium over Netflix's net asset value — a characteristic common among asset-light, high-margin technology and media businesses. Netflix does not pay a dividend, yielding 0%, directing all generated cash flow toward content investment and operational expansion. Within the Communication Services sector, these valuation multiples position Netflix at a notable premium to many peers. The combination of a high P/E, an exceptionally elevated PEG ratio, and zero dividend yield indicates the stock is priced for substantial future earnings acceleration that has yet to materialize in recent quarters.
Smart Money Activity for NFLX
Netflix, Inc. receives a composite smart money score of 47 out of 100 with a neutral overall signal, according to SID market data. The institutional component scores a perfect 25 out of 25, indicating robust and sustained participation from major fund managers and asset allocators. In contrast, insider activity scores 0.0 out of 25, reflecting a pronounced imbalance in executive transactions. Per SEC Form 4 filings, there have been 20 insider trades over the past 90 days, comprising 6 purchases and 14 sales, resulting in a sell-to-buy ratio of approximately 2.3 to 1. This selling pattern suggests company insiders have been net distributors of shares during the recent period. Dark pool activity scores 9.1 out of 25, indicating moderate but not dominant off-exchange institutional interest. Congressional trading activity registers at 12.8 out of 25 per 13F institutional filings. The divergence between strong institutional ownership and weak insider conviction warrants continued monitoring as these signals present a mixed positioning profile.
Netflix, Inc. Earnings Outlook
Netflix, Inc. has delivered a mixed earnings track record over its four most recent quarters, according to company earnings reports. In the most recent reporting period dated July 16, 2026, Netflix posted actual earnings per share of $0.80 versus an analyst estimate of $0.79, producing a modest positive surprise of $0.01. The prior quarter ending April 16, 2026, saw a miss with actual EPS of $0.70 against estimates of $0.76, representing a negative surprise of $0.06. The January 20, 2026 quarter delivered a slight beat at $0.56 actual versus $0.55 estimated, while the January 19, 2026 quarter narrowly missed at $0.56 actual against a $0.5628 estimate. Per analyst estimates, the company has beaten consensus in two of the last four quarters and missed in two, reflecting inconsistent execution. The largest deviation occurred in Q2 with the $0.06 shortfall, which may have contributed to the stock's underperformance over recent months.
Wall Street Analyst Ratings for NFLX
Wall Street analyst coverage of Netflix, Inc. reflects a moderately constructive consensus, per SID consensus data. Among the most recent ratings, three of five covering firms maintain Outperform recommendations. Evercore ISI Group reiterated its Outperform rating on September 14, 2026, while Wolfe Research maintained its Outperform stance on August 25, 2026. Baird similarly reiterated Outperform on July 22, 2026, following the company's earnings release, according to Wall Street analyst reports. On the neutral side, Wells Fargo maintained an Equal-Weight rating on July 17, 2026, and Rosenblatt reiterated its Neutral rating the same day. Notably, none of the recent analyst actions involved upgrades or downgrades — all five were reiterations of existing ratings, suggesting a period of consensus stability. The 60% Outperform weighting among recent coverage indicates that a majority of tracked analysts view Netflix favorably despite the stock's 17.21% year-over-year decline, potentially signaling perceived upside from current price levels.
