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 $81.46, reflecting a daily gain of approximately 1.42% per SID market data. Over the trailing one-month period, NFLX has rallied 16.8%, recovering from a more challenging three-month window that saw a decline of 6.22%. On a twelve-month basis, the stock remains down 24.8%, underperforming the broader Communication Services sector. Technically, NFLX trades above its 50-day moving average of $74.53 but remains below its 200-day moving average of $84.98, suggesting the stock is approaching a potential resistance zone. The 14-day relative strength index stands at 71.2, placing the stock near overbought territory according to Massive/Polygon technical indicators. Average daily trading volume registers at approximately 42.16 million shares, reflecting elevated liquidity. Netflix carries a beta of 1.706, indicating significantly higher volatility relative to the broader market, consistent with its growth-oriented profile within the streaming industry.
Netflix, Inc. Valuation Analysis
Netflix, Inc. currently carries a market capitalization of approximately $398.7 billion, per SID market data. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 38.40, reflecting a premium valuation relative to the broader market and many Communication Services peers. The PEG ratio stands at 18.43, suggesting that the current P/E multiple is elevated even when adjusting for expected earnings growth, according to SEC filings and consensus growth estimates. Netflix's price-to-book ratio of 15.44 further underscores the premium investors are assigning to the company's intangible assets, including its content library and global subscriber base. The company does not pay a dividend, yielding 0%, consistent with its strategy of reinvesting cash flows into original content production and international expansion. The combination of a high PEG ratio and zero dividend yield indicates the market is pricing in substantial future earnings acceleration to justify the current valuation level.
Smart Money Activity for NFLX
Netflix, Inc. registers a composite smart money score of 52, reflecting a neutral signal according to SID market data. Institutional ownership confidence scores a perfect 25 out of 25, indicating strong conviction among large fund managers. Congressional trading activity scores 12.8 out of 25, suggesting moderate but notable interest from lawmakers disclosed in public filings. In contrast, insider sentiment scores just 5.3 out of 25, driven by a notable imbalance in insider transactions reported via SEC Form 4 filings. Over the last 90 days, Netflix insiders executed 20 transactions, comprising only 5 purchases against 15 sales, reflecting a three-to-one sell-to-buy ratio. Dark pool activity scores 9.1 out of 25, indicating relatively subdued institutional block trading. The divergence between the maximum institutional confidence score and the weak insider score is notable. Per 13F institutional filings, large asset managers continue to maintain or build positions, while company insiders have been net sellers during the recent price recovery.
Netflix, Inc. Earnings Outlook
Netflix, Inc. has delivered a mixed earnings track record over its last four reported quarters, according to company earnings reports. In the most recent quarter reported on July 16, 2026, Netflix posted earnings per share of $0.80, narrowly exceeding the consensus analyst estimate of $0.79 by $0.01. The prior quarter, reported April 16, 2026, saw a miss of $0.06 as actual EPS of $0.70 fell short of the $0.76 estimate. The two quarters reported in January 2026 showed EPS of $0.56 each, with one delivering a marginal beat of $0.01 and the other a slight miss of approximately $0.003. The pattern reveals Netflix consistently reporting near consensus estimates, with surprise magnitudes remaining minimal across all four periods. This narrow variance between actual and estimated results suggests analyst models are closely calibrated to Netflix's operational trajectory, per analyst estimates, leaving limited room for material upside or downside earnings surprises going forward.
Wall Street Analyst Ratings for NFLX
Wall Street analyst sentiment on Netflix, Inc. skews constructive, with three of the five most recent ratings reflecting an Outperform designation per SID consensus data. Wolfe Research reiterated its Outperform rating on August 25, 2026, while Baird maintained its Outperform call on July 22, 2026, and Wedbush affirmed the same rating on July 17, 2026. Wells Fargo maintained its Equal-Weight rating on July 17, representing a more measured stance, while Rosenblatt reiterated a Neutral position on the same date. Notably, none of the recent analyst actions involved a change from prior ratings, indicating stable conviction across coverage firms rather than shifting sentiment. No analyst downgraded the stock during this period according to Wall Street analyst reports. The clustering of reaffirmations around the mid-July earnings report date suggests post-results analysis supported existing theses. The absence of any Underperform or Sell ratings among recent coverage actions indicates the sell-side broadly views the risk-reward profile as balanced to favorable at current levels.
