Netflix’s (NFLX) Price Target Trimmed by KeyBanc, But Bank Remains Bullish on NFLX

KeyBanc reduced its price target on Netflix (NFLX) to $1,000 from $1,100, but the bank kept an Overweight rating on the name.

Why KeyBanc Remains Bullish on NFLX

During the current macro economic environment, the bank prefers companies with subscription business models over those that primarily rely on advertising. Of course, NFLX is in the former category.

Moreover, KeyBanc believes that NFLX can grow significantly over the longer term, as it continues to gain market share at the expense of legacy media.

Also importantly, NFLX’s profits can increase meaningfully, and the firm remains relatively strong compared to other media companies, according to KeyBanc.

Why KeyBanc Cut Its Price Target on NFLX

Citing its belief that Netflix’s ad growth will decelerate going forward, while the company will find it harder to raise prices, the bank lowered its estimates for the company. Additionally, KeyBanc reduced its expected price-to-earnings multiple for the shares.
