Shares of Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) sky-rocketed after Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) gave the company’s stock an upgrade to ‘Buy’ from ‘Neutral’ and raised its price target to $525 from $409. Citigroup Inc believes that with all the quality content lined-up for this fiscal year that Netflix, Inc. is on its way to racking up some serious profit. That news alone has thrown a lot of weight behind Netflix, Inc. which has investors all of a sudden running to get a piece of action. CNBC‘s Guy Adami threw light on this sharp upward trend in the company’s shares.
“It has obviously bounced. Now, I believe that $440 is your pivot and obviously it exploded through that today. How do you trade it? I think it’s ready for the next higher,” Adami said.
Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) believes the stock pullback that occurred throughout March allows for a logical buying opportunity in Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX).

Can Netflix, Inc. really meet the price target that Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) says it can? Content is king and this is what Netflix, Inc. has proven.
