Top-7 Anti-crisis Stocks at Wall Street: Netflix
Both of the two world's most popular streaming services mentioned above, Netflix and Disney+, deserve their places among this set of successful and fast growing businesses, at least for better balance of risks and potential profits. Netflix stocks already lost more than half of its record value of $700 per share, reached in November 2021. However, the main reason was a logically irrational but fast downward movement in January after the company collected the maximum revenue of $7.7 billion in its history but failed to please the public by the number of new subscribers. Just in one night, the capitalization of Netflix sank more than 20%, as the streaming service added 8.28 million new customers from October to December, but estimated it would be able to attract "only" 2.5 million subscribers for the next three-months period. For some reasons, polls showed average expectations of more than twice better prognoses of about 5.9 million subscribers expected in the first quarter of 2022. It would be strange to keep such a high pace after a prosperous Christmas season, plus in conditions when no more corona lockdowns were awaited.
Further
bearish moves continued to develop mostly under its own inertia. However, as
soon as there would be the first signs of a comeback start in Netflix shares,
with its new season of "The Witcher" and other premiere events, the
prospect of a great profitable return here may cause a huge interest in this
asset. Sales of Netflix for the first two quarters of pandemic 2020 was $5.77
billion and $6.15 billion, respectively, and each of them was much lower than
last figures of $7.71 billion. The formal profit of business now is lower but
exclusively thanks to the costs of creating new attractive shows. So, it all
works to bring and keep customers from all over the world. Netflix picked up
more than 36 million subscribers in 2020 plus 18.2 million more in 2021. Most
of them are loyal Netflix customers. So, even if each quarter of 2022 brings
2.5 million newcomers, then on average it could potentially give about 10
millions, which looks quite a normal result to justify the potential comeback
in price.
