That was slightly weaker than the S&P 500, which fell 0.8%, leaving the stock about 0.29 percentage points behind the benchmark. Trading was choppy: the shares opened at $77.55, dipped to a weekly low of $75.03 on Thursday, then bounced to $77.40 on Friday. The weekly range was narrow at 3.48%, and the low stayed above the 60-day moving average of $75.35, suggesting the pullback found support around that area. ## Key Events The early-week narrative centred on pricing and regulation. Netflix raised prices again in the U.K., with the historical pattern showing price increases have not interrupted annual revenue growth. At the same time, South Africa’s regulator said it would probe pricing by Netflix and WhatsApp, with Bloomberg carrying the report. Midweek, an analyst prediction put Netflix’s advertising business above $6 billion by 2027, and IFP Advisors added more than 83,000 shares. The most notable negative item came on Thursday, when Florida sued Netflix over children’s data, seeking billions in damages. On the same day, board member Richard N. Barton sold 720 shares for about $56,000. ## Analyst Ratings A total of 52 firms cover Netflix, with 28 rating it buy, 7 at over, 16 at hold and 1 with no opinion; none rate it under or sell. The consensus recommendation is buy, with a consensus target of $93.66, about 21.0% above the latest price of $77.40. The target range is wide, from $70 to $135, which points to a fair amount of disagreement. Netflix ranks first among 44 peers in the movie and entertainment industry. ## The Week Ahead The macro calendar picks up from Tuesday: the New York Fed manufacturing index lands on Tuesday, followed on Wednesday by retail sales, retail sales ex-autos, retail control, import prices, the NAHB housing market index, and EIA crude and Cushing inventory data. These prints could set the risk tone for technology and communication services, where Netflix sits with a premium valuation, so the stock may be sensitive to any hawkish or soft data surprises. ## In Short Netflix ended the week slightly lower even as the sell-side view stays constructive: consensus is buy, the target implies roughly 20% upside, and the name leads its industry. Against that, the Florida lawsuit and pricing reviews in South Africa and the U.K. are near-term overhangs. Valuation is not cheap, with a P/E around 23.6x and a price-to-book around 10.7x. The key question for next week is whether those legal and regulatory headlines keep pressure on the stock, or whether the macro calendar shifts the narrative. *This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [NFLX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NFLX.US.md) - [NFLP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NFLP.US.md) - [NFLU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NFLU.US.md) - [NFLY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NFLY.US.md) - [NFXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NFXL.US.md) - [NFXS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NFXS.US.md) - [NFLW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NFLW.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Netflix 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today](https://longbridge.com/en/news/299093783.md) - [Richard Barton Sells 720 Shares of Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) Stock](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298661506.md) - [Florida Sues Netflix (NFLX), Seeks Billions Over Children's Data](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298581242.md) - [Apple Enjoys Record-Breaking Emmy Night After Raising Streaming Prices](https://longbridge.com/en/news/299074955.md) - [3 Beaten-Down Stocks to Buy if There Is a Recession](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298825088.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
