Netflix stock $300 ---> $161 since July price hike! UPDATE: $106!

Looks like an effort to impress the shareholders hasn't worked out so well. 😀

Stock was 300 at the announcement, currently trading $161 after just announcing much lower anticipated subscribership. 😱

That said, it's probably not a bad time to buy some.

1: No such thing as repost of such a lame title on this subject.

2: oh rally 😉

1. Because it's not like we have an official stock market thread or anything either... 🙄

2. If you think $160 is a "good price" to buy any stock, I can haz yer bank account plz?
 
According to your chart, it looks like regression to the mean. The graph shows a fairly consistent growth until 2010 then it goes from 50 to 300 in less than a year. It will drop below 100 for sure.

1. This is less about the market and more about retarded greed.

2. I guess someone could think a stock is a better value because it's <$10... 😉
 
netflix may end up back to just a DVD/BluRay business as the media owners are starting to realize that giving a cut to netflix isn't necessary to get their entertainment onto the intraweb

I've never heard 'regression to the mean' before but if you wait for $100, you'll be waiting a long time. This movement won't take it there imo.
 
The execs are dropping stock prices on purpose to buy more at a lower price. Then they will bring the prices back down, gain customers, stocks will rise, they will sell and make $$$.

They should give a cut because netflix is 1 thing that has everything. If I had to go to ten different content providers then I would rather just pirate it. Pirating, like netflix, is all in 1 location.
 
just saying, the need for the customer price increase is due to the higher royalties being demanded by the content providers. if starz and all the movie companies want more, the customer has to pay more. if a million subscribers say that is too much, then the price increase results in actual less revenue than before. unsustainable model

and add in the USPS going bankrupt/reducing service, so the 1 or 2 dvd's out at a time plans are going to result in fewer dvd's per month , then i see lots of downside for netflix from a stock price perspective
 
I know I dropped mine from 1 out bluray +streaming to just streaming. There hasn't been anything good out to rent all summer anyway and the current movie listing has been horrible since early July.

Because it is so hard to type abc.com or nbc.com
 
I know Netflix lost money from me. I went to streaming only. If they continue to raise prices and not add content then I'll drop it completely.
Netflix use to be a well liked company. Now it seems that the recent fiasco has made lots of people wish failure on them.

So I have to pay 5 different companies and manage 5 different accounts to get all my streaming needs? Yeah right. I use Netflix streaming because it's easy. Take away the easy factor and I'm out. I'll find something else to do. Tv or movies don't dictate my life.
 
And yet, in 1 year (a moderate to difficult year for stocks in general), Neflix stock is still up 15&#37; from $140.50 to $161.50.

Don't forget the forest when you are looking at the latest tree.

Good news: stocks up 15% from last year
Bad news: company has lost 50% of it's value in 3 months

Winning?

I'd gladly own a stock that was up 15% each year even if it were down 50% in a few months. Heck, I'd toss all my money into a stock that could repeatedly gain 15% year after year even if there are repeated 50% drops mid year. The long term trend is what matters.

Netflix has issues and this could be the start of a long term trend downwards. But, this is more of a correction (Netflix at $300 was just rediculous) than a trend. Of course Netflix can screw up more from here on out and make it a long term downward trend. But, it is too soon to call with just one significant price hike and only a 7% drop in subscribers.
