The shares are down 32%, 19% and 38% respectively this year! While revenue is expected to grow 9% in 2022, I’d need to see evidence that the company is grasping the nettle and doing what is necessary to steady subscription numbers.ĭue to their already-established multiple earnings streams, I’d be more likely to buy Amazon, Apple or Disney today. However, developments since then have tainted the investment case for me, at least for now. I was initially bullish on Netflix’s ability to bounce back to form. Concerns over the global economy could prevent growth stocks from rediscovering their mojo for a while. This doesn’t mean their share prices won’t fall further from here, of course. Amazon has its web services and retail divisions. Then again, one major argument for buying/holding Netflix’s rivals is that they already have other ways of making money. As a result, nothing is watched - a consequence known as the paradox of choice.
On a purely anecdotal basis, the sheer amount of content now available makes it harder for me to commit to a specific programme. Having become one of the main ways to pass time over the multiple pandemic-related lockdowns, many consumers are likely to feel ‘streamed-out’. I can certainly see reasons for agreeing with this view. So should I be avoiding the rivals too? Sell the streamers?
CONDUCT TOGETHER CRASHING TV
So it may not be too long until the likes of Amazon, Apple TV and Disney+ find themselves following suit and exploring new realms to entertain their audiences.“ However, it’s Garnry’s last comment that really caught my eye: “ In years to come, this stale feeling towards Netflix is likely to hit other streaming services as budgets and projections are tightened by demand.
Done right, this could potentially help Netflix stock recover from what’s been a truly awful last 10 months, or so. After all, the video games market is bigger than both film and music combined. This might succeed in helping subscriptions to rebound.Īnother potentially lucrative route is to go down is to add game streaming to its armoury. For a lower monthly fee, viewers would be asked to watch a number of ads before being allowed access to their programme of choice. One option, touched on by Garnry (and already mentioned by the company itself), would be to introduce adverts to the platform. Of course, Netflix isn’t going to take a drop in popularity lying down.
