Netflix stock sinks after losing subscribers (City Index)

Netflix shares have plunged to their lowest level in 30 months after the streaming giant lost subscribers for the first time in over 10 years.

This includes the crackdown on password sharing, with Netflix believing its 222 million paying households are sharing passwords with a staggering 100 million additional households, including 30 million in core markets in the US and Canada. Netflix believes this is a key area to target as it means it already has 100 million potential new customers that are already using its service. No opinion given in this material constitutes a recommendation by City Index or the author that any particular investment, security, transaction or investment strategy is suitable for any specific person. This material is short term in nature and may only relate to facts and circumstances existing at a specific time or day. This material has been prepared using the thoughts and opinions of the author and these may change. This is reinforced by the fact trading volumes have seen a notable increase over the last five days, with volumes today surging over three times the 100-day average. Netflix has already had huge success by producing catered films for individual countries or regions and then exporting them to other markets, such as Squid Game and Money Heist. Thirdly, Netflix has been raising prices in some regions and this appears to have reduced appeal for its service. Netflix revealed revenue rose 9.8% year-on-year in the first quarter to $7.9 billion and that diluted EPS fell to $3.53 from $3.75 the year before. People can cancel many streaming services with little-to-no notice, making them an easy saving to make and this will also be stoking fears around demand for other services such as Disney+ and Spotify. Secondly, Netflix saw a surge in demand during the pandemic as people spent more time watching content whilst stuck in lockdown. Lastly, consumers are starting to tighten their belts amid rampant inflation and the cost-of-living crisis. It also marks a severe downturn from the 8.3 million net additions booked in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The company blamed the decline on stiffer competition, the inability to expand in some territories due to technological limitations and account sharing.

Elon Musk has fired a broadside at Netflix, blaming the streaming service's shock slump in subscribers on a “woke mind virus”.

If Netflix does go down this route it’s game changing, not just for Netflix and its ability to generate a very significant new revenue stream, but also for the world of advertising. At the same time, the Follow This climate proposal received 30pc of votes in favour – the most since it started lobbying Shell in 2016. Shipments of Lada vehicles fell 56pc in March compared to the same month last year. Shares in Netflix plunged 25pc last night. The manufacturer last month announced it was suspending production at its own plant in Moscow and assessing options for AvtoVaz. Netflix pointed the finger at four causes, including increased competition and people sharing accounts. Asian markets were largely flat on Wednesday morning. The streaming giant said it lost 200,000 subscribers in the first three months of the year – its first decline in more than a decade. Michael Nathanson, an analyst at Moffett Nathanson, said: “It’s just shocking. It’s such an about face.” The Dow Jones ticked up 0.1pc. The EU is said to be working to speed up the availability of alternative energy supplies in a bid to cut the cost of banning Russian oil.

Netflix hints at password sharing crackdown as subscribers fall (BBC News)

The streaming giant estimates more than 100 million households are breaking its rules by sharing passwords. Boss Reed Hastings previously described the practice ...

"Those who have followed Netflix know that I've been against the complexity of advertising, and a big fan of the simplicity of subscription," he said. Netflix said the price rises would yield more money for the firm, despite the cancellations. The firm also said account sharing had probably fuelled its growth by getting more people using Netflix. The company is blaming its decision to pull out of Russia for its negative global growth - and this is technically true. People flocked to the streaming company - it seemed like the company could do no wrong. However, it said a surge in sign-ups during the pandemic had "obscured" the real picture around its growth. In the UK, households cancelled more than 1.5 million streaming subscriptions in the first three months of the year, with 38% saying they wanted to save money. The firm raised prices across all of its US plans, with a basic plan increasing from $9 to $10 per month, and a standard from $14 to $15.50. Netflix said that pulling out of Russia in March in response to the Ukraine war had cost it 700,000 subscribers. And another 600,000 people stopped using its service in the US and Canada after it put up prices in January. The firm said that measures it is testing to curb password sharing in Latin America could be rolled out to other countries, with accounts that break the rules charged extra. Some 200,000 people left the streaming service in the first three months of the year as it faced intense competition from rivals.

Netflix Shares Crash 27% After Losing 200K Subscribers. What's ... (AskTraders)

The Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX) share price crashed 27% after revealing that it lost 200000 subscribers in Q1. What's next for investors?

As a result, the company expects most of its future growth to come from other regions outside North America and Europe. Netflix shareholders have now lost over $150 billion in value since the year started, and there are no guarantees that the shares shall recoup their losses. The movie streaming company expects to add over 100 million subscribers using its services via password sharing. Nevertheless, many investors did not want to be left holding the bag as Netflix’s future appears uncertain. Netflix faces stiff competition in the US and Canada from other streaming services such as Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, and Peacock. As a result, alienating its US and Canadian customers could result in a mass exodus to other streaming services. However, the company expects to lose 2 million subscribers in the second quarter from April to June, which lowered its share price.

Netflix Share Price On Track For Biggest Fall In Nearly A Decade | Mint (Livemint)

For the second time this year, Netflix shares fell sharply after the company disappointed investors.

The last time Netflix shares fell 25% on a single day was July 25, 2012, according to FactSet, a day after the company warned of slowing growth for its subscription service. The company had increased its subscription fee earlier this year. The growing number of streaming options has made consumers more price- sensitive. In January, Netflix shares slid more than 20% when the streaming company said it expected to add a much smaller number of subscribers than it did one year prior. Shares shed a quarter of their value in premarket trading Wednesday. Investors had expected that the company would add new users in the first quarter. The drop would slash around $40 billion of its market capitalization, which stood at $157 billion on Tuesday, according to FactSet.

The Netflix share price dropped 25%. Should I buy the stock now? (Motley Fool UK)

With the Netflix share price crashing overnight, our writer considers whether it's an opportunity to buy the shares at a discount.

I expect to see more quality content and big hits over the coming years. Since the days of competing with Blockbuster 20 years ago, Netflix has continued to make improvements to its content and viewing experience. In the past three years in particular, many new streaming services have made Netflix less of a unique proposition. Lastly, the company cites a slowing economy as another factor for sluggish growth. That makes it harder to grow in many countries. In addition to the 222m paying households, it estimates there are over 100m more that use the service by sharing accounts.

Those were the “longest duration” stocks you could get, and thus very sensitive to shifts in interest rates. That peaked back in February 2021, as a glance at the share price of Cathie Wood’s ARK ETF (which is quite literally a faith-based investment) will demonstrate.

Netflix is looking to consolidate its position in the market. It generated $800m in free cash flow in the first quarter, providing funds to reinvest in new content and cut debt. These numbers illustrate the scale of the challenges facing both the company and the wider sector. Analysts estimate the firm will spend around $20bn on content this year, nearly double the $10bn it spent in 2020. Withdrawing from Russia after its invasion of Ukraine cost another 700,000 paying users (excluding this loss, the group actually added 500,000 subscribers in the first quarter, although this was still far below Wall Street expectations). With content and market costs rising, the group is tapping its customers for extra cash, and this isn’t going down too well.

Investors were shocked last night by the revelation numbers of new Netflix subscribers had fallen for the first time in more than a decade.

"The combination of one plus two led to three - scale. "The most obvious target would be a rival TV company such as Paramount+," Campling argued. "The media giants did not view Netflix as a rival, until their users/viewers started cutting the cord. "Netflix believes there are more than 100 million households sharing accounts, meaning it is losing out on additional subscribers and revenue," he said. Laura Hoy, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, argued that while Netflix has a relatively weak back catalogue when compared to its rivals, the streamer is adept at original programming and its name has "become synonymous with addictive TV". "That may well boost revenue in the short term, but in reality to expand its reach to people who do not interact regularly with Netflix will require the streaming firm to keep producing the goods when it comes to content."

That 200 million subscribers is not actually enough viewers for the amount of money that they're spending on content. We think it's also likely that they're going to get into licensing their content to other potential channels or even linear television to help get higher returns on their content investment. It lacked the level of unit economic depth that we've been accustomed to when Bill Ackman is getting involved in a real estate company or a retailer like Lowe's or Starbucks.

When Netflix first U-turned from DVD-rental to home streaming the company had very few competitors, but has seen a flurry of competition grow in recent years. However, one of the group's biggest competitors is also the desire from customers to spend any time away from screens. Netflix also continues to face competition from Amazon, which acquired James Bond studio MGM last month in an 8.5 billion dollar (£6.5 billion) deal to build a library of content for subscribers. Netflix predicted that another two million users will leave in the three months to July. Netflix said the challenging economic backdrop, war in Ukraine, slowing rollout of broadband in some countries and the large number of subscribers sharing their account details with non-paying households have all contributed to the decline. It will also hope that the return of top performing series - such as Stranger Things next month - will halt customers thinking about axing their subscriptions. at a time when the firm is raising prices across the board to generate enough cash flow (which is currently negative) to maintain an entertaining line-up of shows'. The company could also clamp down on customers sharing their accounts with other households. The company said its profits dropped 6% over the latest quarter and the downbeat outlook could suggest an even sharper profit decline could be on the cards. Experts at Kantar said earlier this week that around 1.5 million subscriptions have been axed in the UK since the start of 2022. As customer spending comes under pressure, the group faces increased demand for high quality content in order to justify people's subscription fees. Netflix is losing billions of dollars a year because of illegal password-sharing 'marketplaces' that offer access for just $1, experts have claimed.
