Nasdaq NFLX NetFlix

Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has been of the best growth stocks on the market over the last decade, but one question has dogged the company repeatedly in recent years: Will it succumb to the competition?

It's never too late to start accepting Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) as the entertainment leaders of the new normal. KeyBanc analyst Justin Patterson is initiating coverage of the two streaming video powerhouses with bullish overweight ratings. 

First came ESPN+. Then Apple TV+ and Disney+. Now there's another "plus" in the streaming video world.

Red-hot tech stocks fell off a cliff this month, and Netflix (NFLX) stock was no exception -- the stock tumbled nearly 13%. Nevertheless, 2020 so far has been bountiful enough for a stock boosted by the coronavirus tailwinds, with shares up by 49% year-to-date.  

So, can Netflix resume the accumulation of share gains? Or has momentum run its course for now?

According to Raymond James' Andrew Marok, there is currently “limited potential for positive revisions and multiple expansion until more certainty is gained around the post-COVID-19 trajectory.” In other words, the analyst believes NFLX is trading at a lofty valuation and, as such, rates the stock a Market Perform (i.e. Hold).

The analyst has no doubt Netflix is a great company and said, “We are positive on NFLX’s positioning within the large and growing video-on-demand space, given 1) its position as the dominant global video-on-demand player; 2) competitive advantages in content development and distribution; and 3) improving financial position with expanding operating margins and decreasing FCF deficits/reliance on external financing. We continue to view NFLX as a long-term winner in the expanding video-on-demand space.”

Additionally, the analyst doesn’t count the recent entry of other heavyweights such as Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, and Peacock into the streaming arena as necessarily a threat. The analyst sees room for “multiple winners in the space as the pie grows.”

That said, as some consumers will look out for particular content only available on other platforms, Marok expects there is “likely to be some subscriber impact at the margin.” Furthermore, as the new players are priced to take share, there could also be a “limit on near-term pricing power in developed markets.”

Moreover, the last several years have taken their toll on the company’s FCF (free cash flow) as the heavy investment in content has resulted in FCF deficits. With the long term in mind, however, Marok expects the “company's growth will begin to overtake the growth in content investment, with Netflix reaching FCF breakeven in 2024E.”

Among Marok’s colleagues, the tone is slightly more bullish. NFLX's Moderate Buy consensus rating is based on 20 Buys, 10 Holds and 5 Sells. Meanwhile, an 8% upside could be in the cards, should the $520.43 average price target be met over the next months. (See Netflix stock-price forecast on TipRanks)
