Alternative ways to invest in Netflix
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Netflix), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Netflix is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is it a good time to buy Netflix stock?
Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Netflix's shares have ranged in value from as little as $293.54 up to $624.42. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Netflix's is 1.219. This would suggest that Netflix's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Should you buy Netflix stock?
This is something only you can decide. Netflix captured the attention of couch-sitters and investors around the world. So much positivity was great for television series binging and for profits. The Netflix stock price has seen plenty of recent growth as a result. The challenge is how Netflix can continue to grow and make money if so many people are already subscribed?
We’re seeing Netflix crack down on password sharing, introducing adverts and raising monthly subscription prices. This is the immediate plan to squeeze more money out of customers who treat Netflix as an essential spend. How long Netflix can do this remains to be seen, but the trick is finding ways to monetise its audience without driving people away on price.

Is Netflix under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Netflix P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Netflix's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 50x. In other words, Netflix shares trade at around 50x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, Netflix's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
- Walt Disney Company (DIS.US): 68.99
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): 60.69
- ITV (ITV.LSE): 10.16
- Comcast (CMCSA.US): 11.54
Netflix's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5943. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Netflix's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Netflix's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Walt Disney Company (DIS.US): 0.81
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): 2.37
- ITV (ITV.LSE): 0.90
- Comcast (CMCSA.US): 0.70
- Warner Bros Discovery (WBD.US): 1.39
Netflix's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $7.3 billion (£5.7 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Netflix's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
- Walt Disney Company (DIS.US): USD$15.6 billion
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): USD$85.5 billion
- ITV (ITV.LSE): £378 million
- Comcast (CMCSA.US): USD$37.6 billion
- Warner Bros Discovery (WBD.US): USD$7.4 billion
