Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) analysts call the fourth quarter beat one of the best in company history and changed price targets based on the content slate, price increases and strong advertising momentum.
The Netflix Analysts: Macquarie analyst Tim Nollen reiterated an Outperform rating and raised the price target from $965 to $1,150.
KeyBanc analyst Justin Patterson maintained an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $1,000 to $1,100.
Guggenheim analyst Michael Morris maintained a Buy rating and raised the price target from $950 to $1,100.
Canaccord Genuity analyst Maria Ripps upgraded Netflix from Hold to Buy and raised the price target from $940 to $1,150.
Needham analyst Laura Martin reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target from $800 to $1,150.
BMO Capital analyst Brian Pitz reiterated an Outperform rating and raised the price target from $1,000 to $1,175.
Raymond James analyst Andrew Marok maintained a Market Perform rating with no price target.
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth reiterated an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $1,000 to $1,150.
Piper Sandler analyst Matt Farrell reiterated an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $950 to $1,100.
Bank of America analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target from $1,000 to $1,175.
Macquarie on NFLX: The company went "out with a bang," reporting 19 million added paid subscriptions in its last quarter of reporting this key metric, Nollen said in a new investor note.
"Attention now turns to revenue as well as OI and FCF," Nollen said referencing operating income and free cash flow.
The analyst said Netflix saw higher subscribers thanks to the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul boxing match, NFL games on Christmas and could see more growth from its WWE partnership.
"WWE, which began in January, has driven increased engagement with on-demand viewing up 25% from viewers the day after the live event."
KeyBanc on NFLX: Raised guidance for fiscal 2025 could reflect higher subscriber figures and a price increase, Patterson said in a new investor note.
The analyst raised revenue estimates due to higher paid membership figures and higher revenue per member.
"We believe a strong 2025 content slate can continue drive paid membership gains," Patterson said
With the company choosing not to report membership figures going forward, "revenue becomes the primary metric to value Netflix," Patterson added.
"We are increasingly confident Netflix can sustain low-teens revenue growth through 2026E."
Guggenheim on NFLX: A record quarter for subscriber adds could be just the beginning for Netflix's latest round of growth, Morris said in a new note.
"The company announced plan price increases in several markets, including the U.S., and raised full-year financial guidance despite incremental FX headwinds versus the initial 2025 outlook. As good as it gets? We don't think so," Morris said.
The analyst highlighted Netflix's comments on its growing total market size and strong viewer engagement as optimistic items for the company's future.
"We see earlier stage initiatives — led by advertising sales, live content including sports and events, and video game offerings — as incremental contributors to sustained growth in the coming years."
Canaccord on NFLX: Record subscriber growth, price increases and momentum in the advertising business are highlights from the company's earnings report, Ripps said in a new investor note.
"Netflix reported strong fourth quarter results, with paid memberships, revenue, and profitability all coming in ahead of expectations," Ripps said.
The analysts called the 2025 content slate as "very healthy" with new seasons of "Squid Game," Stranger Things" and "Wednesday," along with an increased number of live events.
Ripps said they incorrectly downgraded Netflix stock less than a year ago citing slower growth and a premium valuation.
"That stance clearly turned out to be incorrect."
Needham on NFLX: A strong content slate, live sports and the continued crackdown on paid sharing led to a strong subscriber figure and beat, Martin said in a new note.
Martin said the subscriber growth in the U.S. and Canada was helped by two NFL games on Christmas, with the other subscriber adds being unrelated to the NFL.
"Despite strong viewership of its two Christmas Day NFL games, NFLX reaffirmed its lack of interest in ‘full season' live sports owing to high costs," Martin said.
Failing to disclose subscriber additions or average revenue per member figures could add risks to the stock, the analyst added.
BMO on NFLX: Strong advertising growth could be a key item to watch for Netflix's future, Pitz said in a new note.
"We model ~$3B in ad revenue by 2026E," Pitz said.
The analyst said advertising revenue grew two times in 2024 and is expected to two times again in 2025.
"AVOD monetization potential remains a significant opportunity."
Pitz said the May 2025 upfront season could serve as a key catalyst for Netflix. &nbsp;
"We believe a robust content slate combined with layering in ‘shoulder' live events will result in ongoing subs growth in the U.S. and globally."
Raymond James on NFLX: Netflix's fourth-quarter results and 2025 guidance were strong across all metrics, Marok said in a new note.
"This quarter was as strong as we have seen from the company since the peaks of the pandemic, with execution across various areas including live events, ads, and margins all pointing upward," Marok said.
The analyst said Netflix's live events strategy is "proven out" and more similar big sporting events are likely.
"Netflix is also leaning into event-driven programming in 2025, with a full year of WWE Raw and what will likely be a number of unannounced unique events in the sports and comedy genres."
JPMorgan on NFLX: The streaming giant may have eliminated concerns about high expectations and FX headwinds with a huge subscriber figure and 2025 guidance, Anmuth said in a new note.
"NFLX enters the new year firing on all cylinders — benefiting from an extremely strong content slate, seeing increased engagement per member household and healthy retention, raising prices in key markets including the U.S., and shifting the ad business from the crawl to walk stage," Anmuth said.
The analyst highlighted Netflix's comments that it had broad-based subscriber growth and its record-breaking figures weren't just because of the Paul/Tyson fight, NFL and second season of "Squid Game."
"Combing off what was likely NFLX's strongest content quarter ever and heading into a robust 2025 slate, we expect little pushback to price increases in the US and a few other markets."
Piper Sandler on NFLX: Strong content helped subscriber growth and provides upside for the stock, Farrell said in a new note.
"We remain impressed with the company's execution, as management continues to deliver positive surprises even at industry-leading scale," Farrell said.
The analyst's two biggest takeaways from Netflix's earnings call were tailwinds to subscriber growth and the continued ramp of the advertising tier.
"We see a strong content slate for this year supporting engagement. Netflix remains our top large cap idea."
 Bank of America on NFLX: Fourth-quarter results and record-breaking subscriber figures marked a strong report, Ehrlich said in a new note.
"In our view, this quarter reflects the robust platform Netflix has created as it remains one of the best-positioned companies in media with several growth drivers," Ehrlich said.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock is up 10.96% to $965 Wednesday at publication versus a 52-week trading range of $481.40 to $999. The stock hit new all-time highs earlier Wednesday and shares are up almost 100% over the last year.

Wall Street&#8217;s biggest players moved to protect themselves against tech stock dominance in 2024, driving record cash into a fund that splits money evenly across all S&amp;P 500 stocks.
The Invesco<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/12/42717758/chamath-palihapitiya-says-sp-500-index-etfs-need-to-be-fixed-or-they-will-end-in-disaster-here-is-what-the-billionaire-investor-said"> S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight exchange-traded fund</a> pulled in $17 billion last year, with $14.4 billion flowing in during the final six months alone, the Financial Times said, citing Morningstar data. The surge pushed the fund&#8217;s total assets above $72 billion, making it one of the 25 largest U.S. ETFs.

</ul>
Money poured in despite the fund&#8217;s weak performance. While the S&amp;P 500 jumped 24% last year, the equal-weight version rose just 11%. The gap stems from the outsized impact of the Magnificent Seven tech stocks – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla – which drove about half of the S&amp;P&#8217;s gains.
&#8220;Investors&#8217; biggest focus recently has been concentration risk, worries that the market is too top-heavy,&#8221; Manish Kabra, head of U.S. equity strategy at Société Générale, said to the Financial Times.
The fund rebalances quarterly, selling market leaders and buying laggards to maintain equal positions across all holdings. The strategy paid off in 2022&#8217;s tech sell-off but lagged in 2024&#8217;s tech rally.

Traders also turned to derivatives to guard against tech stock drops. CME Group&#8217;s S&amp;P 500 equal-weight futures contract, launched in February, now trades $2.4 billion worth of open positions.
&#8220;I think that woke some more clients up in terms of how to manage that risk and what kind of strategies they should put in place,&#8221; said Paul Woolman, CME&#8217;s global head of equity products, referring to tech stock volatility last summer.
The equal-weight rush marks part of a banner year for Invesco. Bloomberg data shows that the firm&#8217;s U.S. ETFs took in $86 billion in 2024, outpacing its previous record of $54 billion in 2021. This pushed Invesco into third place for ETF flows, behind only industry giants Vanguard and BlackRock.

Some market watchers warn against the equal-weight approach. &#8220;Incorporating fundamentals in the assessment of each company would better serve investors than arbitrarily making them all equal weights,&#8221; Bryan Armour, director of passive strategies research at Morningstar, said to the Financial Times.
According to Rick de los Reyes, portfolio manager at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/t-rowe-price">T.

President Donald Trump announced a $500 billion initiative to supercharge the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence infrastructure</a> in the United States Tuesday. Flanked by tech titans OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, and Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) Chairman Larry Ellison, Trump revealed the creation of a new company, Stargate, which he described as "the largest AI infrastructure project in history." 
Naturally, investors wasted no time <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">reacting to the announcement</a>. Oracle, Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Arm Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NYSE">ARM</a>) saw notable gains, while analysts predict the dominance of AI leaders <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">like those included in</a> the Invesco Top QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBIG#NASDAQ">QBIG</a>) will continue into 2025.
Invesco Top QQQ, an actively managed ETF tied to the Nasdaq-100 Mega Index, holds stocks from the Magnificent Seven, including AI giants like Nvidia, along with semiconductor leader Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>). This ETF is poised to capitalize on the rising demand for AI infrastructure, as semiconductor companies like Broadcom gain prominence.
Morgan Stanley analyst Ed Stanley notes that companies that strategically adopt AI—particularly those in software and finance—are likely to outperform, creating a fertile ground for ETFs like Invesco Top QQQ to thrive.
Apart from the Invesco Top QQQ ETF, which debuted in December, other notable beneficiaries of this AI boom are existing ETFs like Global X Robotics &amp; AI (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOTZ#NASDAQ">BOTZ</a>) and Roundhill Generative AI &amp; Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHAT#NYSE">CHAT</a>). 
Here's a closer look at the potential winners:
Global X Robotics &amp; Artificial Intelligence ETF, known for its focus on automation and robotics companies, holds stocks of companies like Nvidia. The ETF can benefit from increased demand for hardware supporting AI infrastructure.
Roundhill Generative AI &amp; Technology ETF invests particularly in companies developing infrastructure, and software that breathe life into AI. As a fund targeting the generative AI, this ETF&#8217;s holdings in companies like Microsoft and Meta.
Stargate's Ambitious Vision
Stargate plans to invest an initial $100 billion, with a long-term vision of funneling up to $500 billion into building data centers and other critical infrastructure to support AI development. The project, already under construction in Texas, aims to create 100,000 jobs and establish the U.S. as a leader in AI technology.
Ellison noted that the group's first 1 million-square-foot data center is already underway, emphasizing the need for robust infrastructure to power next-generation AI applications. Altman agreed, calling the project "the most important of this era."
Meanwhile, Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43121798/elon-musk-says-project-stargate-doesnt-actually-have-the-money-after-trump-announces-500-billion-ai-investment-led-by-softbank-oracle-and-openai">voiced concerns over</a> Project Stargate's funding, suggesting that SoftBank has secured far less than the ambitious $500 billion investment target.
ETFs focused on AI and technology offer a wise entry point for those looking to jump on the bandwagon. With $175 billion reportedly awaiting deployment into AI projects, the U.S. should attract significant global capital.
