Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) is a stock that can invoke quite a bit of emotion. In fact, in the service sector, there are few other stocks that are as heavily debated. Today, we'll talk about the bearish argument, the bullish argument and why I believe that NFLX is going to soar moving forward.h3 The Bearish Argument/h3
While I do believe that Netflix is going to climb, I will say that the bears have a very valid argument when it comes to the stock. That argument is two-fold:
While the bearish argument comes with some very valid points, the bullish argument is also strong. Here's how the bulls see it:
The reality is that while there is some downside risk, there is always downside risk associated with investing. In the case of NFLX, the bearish opinions on the stock have caused it to stay at a relatively low valuation recently. However, the bulls have very valid points. At the end of the day, international trends will likely lead to revenue growth and the Disney deal is incredible for user growth and retention in the United States and around the world. All in all, while there is some risk, I expect to see long-run gains.
Where do you think NFLX is headed?
