Tidefall Capital Management in their Q3 2020 Investor Letter said that they were able to distinguish a value in Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX). Netflix, Inc. is social networking service company that currently has a $220 billion market cap. For the past 3 months, NFLX delivered a -6.18% return and settled at $497.98 per share at the closing of January 15th.
Here is what Tidefall Capital Management has to say about Netflix, Inc. in their Investor Letter:
“In late February, Netflix introduced a Top 10 row to its user interface. Although a simple change, it
eliminated the paradox of choice for users and greatly diminished the common complaint that “there’s
nothing good on Netflix”. The global distribution that Netflix is able to offer creators is unprecedented,
unrivaled and allows for a massive flywheel effect. Netflix only has a slight lead in subscribers over
Amazon Prime, but nearly five times the engagement. The Top 10 list is creating a global ‘water
cooler’ effect; if you want to be a part of the conversation, you must have Netflix.Valuation is a sticking point for many investors on Netflix. However, it’s important to remember that
founder Reed Hastings is playing a longer game than the hired executives at many of the new
streaming competitors. At $13 per month, with 2.5 hours per day of viewership, over two accounts, the
cost of Netflix is less than 9 cents per hour.”
