Someone Explain Netflix To Me
Posted on 4/16/19 at 5:08 pm

I’m not the savvy stock trader type. I’ve held Netflix for a few months now. Today it dropped but everything I’m reading says earnings exceeded projections. Why would a stock drop if it’s exceeding? Just wondering if someone can explain this to me like I’m a child.

People selling to take profits

Investors are likely to pay more attention to Netflix's guidance for the current quarter, though. The company said second-quarter earnings would likely be 55 cents per share on revenue of $4.93 billion. That earnings figure is far short of the 99 cents a share that Wall Street has been expecting. Analysts' second-quarter revenue estimate is $4.96 billion.
Netflix said it was expecting 5.0 million new paid subscribers in the second quarter, short of the 5.96 million that Wall Street has been expecting.
Looks like it's their guidance towards a weaker than expected second quarter.

I think Disney announced a similar streaming service for a cheaper price which probably caused some decrease in Netflix.

And the answers have been provided, profit takers and lower guidance.

Disney is coming in to steal market share; and people are taking profits. Disney automatically has so much profitable, iconic IP and are coming in at 6.99 I believe? They are going to steal a ton of parents who have netflix for their young kids mainly.
At any rate, the ceiling on Netflix may have just came down. Or not, but why not take some of your profits right, it just got alot more riskier.
On a consumer level; the decentralization of streaming sucks arse; but it just makes wayyy too much sense for a company like Disney to take their shite and do their own thing. Direct to consumer is the eventual direction of every producer of goods.

I personally will be subscribing, but it's not making me reconsider my Netflix.
With that being said,as they both start (or keep, in the case of Netflix) raising their prices, a lot more people will start to choose.

Disney has been making movies forever. Netflix just got in the game and their originals are very very good.
As a parent, I intend to have both.
My major shows I enjoy are Netflix originals and a few HBO series.

Exactly, at this point, it's most likely not going to affect Netflix a whole bunch, but as they develop their service and both increase prices, something will have to give. I think they both survive fine catering to different targets, but it certainly reduces Netflix's ability to run the show.
The funny thing is the guys at Netflix probably know more than anyone else how well the Disney ip can penetrate the streaming market. They probably know the answer to that more than the folks at disney since they have the data.
So they probably already know if they are screwed or not.

AT&T sold its share of Hulu to Disney making them the majority holder.
AT&T just sold its stake, leaving Disney with overwhelming control
quote:
Just last year, Hulu was still divided evenly between Disney, Fox, and Comcast — each owning a 30 percent cut of the company — alongside AT&T’s roughly 10 percent stake. But Disney gained a controlling interest in Hulu when it bought Fox, and the AT&T sale means Disney now owns a staggering 66 percent of the service, with Comcast owning the remaining 33 percent.
