Read MoreHide Full Article
In the latest trading session, Netflix (NFLX - Free Report) closed at $429.32, marking a -1.59% move from the previous day. This move lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.24%. At the same time, the Dow lost 0.04%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 0.43%.
NFLX will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. On that day, NFLX is projected to report earnings of $1.83 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 205%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $6.07 billion, up 23.32% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $6.42 per share and revenue of $24.71 billion. These totals would mark changes of +55.45% and +22.59%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for NFLX. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 4.67% higher. NFLX is holding a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) right now.
Investors should also note NFLX's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 67.93. This represents a premium compared to its industry's average Forward P/E of 6.6.
Meanwhile, NFLX's PEG ratio is currently 2.26. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. The Broadcast Radio and Television was holding an average PEG ratio of 0.61 at yesterday's closing price.
