Hedgeye Communications analyst Andrew Freedman recently recapped his short thesis on Netflix (NFLX) on The Macro Show, discussing the pushback he’s heard from the bull side. Here are a few of his counterarguments:
- “The bull thesis is they can get to 500 million subscribers by 2025. I think that’s going to be very hard to do unless they cut price really aggressively in emerging markets.
- “They’re past 50% penetrated potential peak adoption in developed markets, ex-U.S., so the next wave of growth is going to come from a user that’s lower margin and harder to reach.”
- “Netflix isn’t a cable company and spending billions of dollars on movies and TV shows is different than spending billions of dollars on infrastructure and fixed assets.”
