Loop Capital downgrades Netflix with shares nearing fair value

Loop Capital downgraded Netflix (NFLX) to Hold from Buy with a price target of $950, up from $800. The firm says Netflix “has rarely, if ever, looked better positioned than it does currently.” The company should add over 30M subscribers this year, its revenue has returned to mid-teens growth, and it should report a “monster” Q4 sub gain, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, Loop points out the stock is trading at historically high valuation multiples. As such, the shares are now approaching fair value, the firm contends.
