Moomoo LearnOP : Q: Is $Netflix (NFLX.US)$ a good investment? Share your insights with mooers.
102108463 : When will it go up?
Ansi Sai : This earnings will be tricky and possible to stay out.
positive -> increased sibscription prices in US , so more revenue. Also fallen down deeply from last month, might reveral soon.
Not a financial advice, just an idea
determined Birdie : run up to the earnings then be the first to bail.
cosmiclatte89 : $Netflix (NFLX.US)$ is in a tough industry with $Disney (DIS.US)$ , $Dish Network (DISH.US)$ and all those streaming services... in the past 3yrs it only managed to beat expectation 2 times which was in 2021 amidst the pandemic. Recently it had risen its price which didn't deter the subscribers as most of them are still under the shadow of covid. To combat against the recovery play, $Netflix (NFLX.US)$ is getting into video games for growth. It is a tough market to be in and unless it can remain within the range of 478- 563, i kinda need more convincing factors to stay invested.... okok having said that, i do enjoy $Netflix (NFLX.US)$ as long as i can work from home hehehe...
Milk The Cow : It current show positive earning, so I considered it a ok company.
However, I think they may have some competitors which is affecting their business.
Most likely best to avoid for the time being (observe first).
KintyMcMinty : Mid term challenge will be content as many IP owners, studios, publishers are moving away to their own (or competitor) services
Jayaram : Netflix stock price like rocket
steady Pom pipi : It was less than expected and fell sharply before the day. Now is the opportunity to buy, buy low and sell high
