Despite beating recent earnings estimates and posting record results, Netflix<\/a> stock recently hit a 52-week low. Wall Street\u2019s cold shoulder comes as the company seems poised to win the $100 billion bidding war for the legacy Warner Bros. studio, turning Netflix into an even more powerful player in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

\n

So what\u2019s behind the market\u2019s unfriendly reaction? <\/p>\n

The disconnect between Netflix\u2019s ambition and its stock performance stems from a clash between long-term strategy and short-term financial realities, according to two entertainment analysts and a corporate lawyer specialized in big takeovers. While Netflix is still profitable and aggressively expanding its content library and advertising infrastructure, the market is fixated on shrinking margins and that aforementioned big deal\u2014specifically the uncertain costs of a potential acquisition of Warner Bros.<\/p>\n

Melissa Otto<\/a>, head of visible Alpha Research at S&P Global, was blunt: \u201cIt could be dead money until we get a meaningful catalyst.\u201d This means she sees Netflix\u2019s recent trading down from the $109 range, before the Warner deal was announced, to the low $80s, as the market repricing the big reader streamer, meaning it will likely trade \u201crange bound\u201d for the foreseeable future until the narrative changes. Another outside-the-box hit like Stranger Things <\/em>or Squid Game <\/em>wouldn\u2019t be a catalyst to her, she explained: \u201cWhat we would like to see is how a deal with Warner Brothers is going to drive earnings growth and fuel cash flow generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other analysts are more bullish on the stock but are forced to admit that Otto\u2019s take largely speaks for investors. \u201cI think what has upset the Street is the content spend plus, you know, changing the offer for Warner to all cash,\u201d noted analyst ARK Invest\u2019s Nick Grous<\/a>, referring to Netflix\u2019s all-cash deal amendment in the Warner sweepstakes, along with its plan to boost content spending. ARK, which typically focuses long-term, is \u201cexcited\u201d with where Netflix is headed, he added. \u201cFrom our standpoint, especially if they\u2019re able to close the Warner acquisition, I think you really are looking at an entertainment giant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Otto said the Street isn\u2019t moved. Netflix is probably a \u201cdeal stock\u201d to investors now, meaning its fundamentals likely matter less than the outcome of the merger negotiations.\u201d \u201cThe whole investment thesis right now is a snoozer until we get more clarity around the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netflix did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

\u2018The market is a fickle beast\u2019<\/h2>\n

On the deal, Anthony Sabino <\/a>of St. Johns law school in Queens, New York, said he was excited about the next phase of what he previously told Fortune<\/em> was one of the most interesting M&A deals of the year. Crowing that \u201ccash is king in America, always will be, God willing,\u201d Sabino said it also sent a big message to investors: \u201cI\u2019m sure it was quite a gargantuan effort by Netflix to say, \u2018Okay, listen, we\u2019re going to go from cash-stock to all-cash.\u201d He noted this leveled the playing field with the rival offer from Paramount, whose biggest weapon had been the cash consideration. \u201cCash is king and you can\u2019t question that. Cash is cash.\u201d On the other hand, he said\u2014while noting that he\u2019s just a \u201cplain old country lawyer\u201d and not an investment analyst\u2014\u201dthe market is a fickle beast, it\u2019s a fickle herd.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sabino said he thinks some of the market is a bit worried about the move to all-cash, and \u201cnobody has that cash sitting around.\u201d This means Netflix will have to finance the bid somehow, meaning debt, and Netflix has already announced that it\u2019s discontinuing its share repurchase program, which current investors probably don\u2019t want to hear. It all boils down, in his telling, to that sentiment: Netflix shareholders saying \u201cWait a minute, how much are we going to go into hock to buy these guys?\u201d The bottom line is the market looks at this adversely.<\/p>\n

The magic margins question<\/h2>\n

Beyond the acquisition drama, investors were rattled by Netflix\u2019s forward guidance, said S&P Global\u2019s Otto. The market expected profit margins around 32.75% but the company guided closer to 31.5%\u2014a stark change from the progress Netflix has made over the past few years. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey had this really great profitability story, taking their margins from basically 18% to essentially 30% in a couple of years,\u201d Otto said, noting that Netflix pulled it off while also delivering a steady output of must-watch content and growing its revenue. Unfortunately, she said, that narrative has been slipping away for the last few quarters. \u201cWhen that story starts to feel like it\u2019s fully priced-in, or slowing down, or there\u2019s uncertainty around it, that\u2019s probably going to spoil the market,\u201d said Otto.<\/p>\n

Grous agreed that the Street is skittish about margins, with Netflix\u2019s shrinking guidance indicating a return to the company\u2019s pre-COVID penchant for hefty spending, with content costs trending towards $20 billion this year and \u201cno signs of slowing down.\u201d <\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t the only throwback for investors accustomed to Netflix\u2019s recent track record of non-stop growth in users and revenue. The latest earnings call, and some of the analyst questions, had a pre-pandemic vibe, Grous said, with a big focus on time spent on platform and on how mature Netflix has become as a company, i.e., not offering huge growth anymore. This is happening because investors have to infer growth off the plateauing of engagement, as Netflix has stopped reporting subscriber numbers, he said.<\/p>\n

Still, Grous said he saw strength in other parts of the business during the quarter. He highlighted the greenshoots around advertising as well as what he sees as Netflix\u2019s ace-in-the-hole: the live business. The company has seen success with boxing matches and celebrity roasts, and Grous pointed to a recent example of Netflix thinking creatively in this area: the livestreaming of a death-defying skyscraper climb<\/a> by Alex Honnold. \u201cI think Live is going to be an increasingly large part of the story for them,\u201d and that should be exciting, Grous said.<\/p>\n

How long will Netflix be a deal stock?<\/h2>\n

The most important story for Netflix in the short term however is not about programming or the stock market\u2014it\u2019s about the \u201cpurest essence of capitalism,\u201d said St. Johns law school\u2019s Sabino, pointing to the bidding war for Warner Bros. <\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s recent move to make its offer all-cash has turned up the heat, and there\u2019s the potential of a \u201cwhite knight\u201d\u2014someone who is neither Netflix nor Paramount\u2014riding onto the scene to scoop up the Warner Bros prize. That white knight could be none other than Barry Diller, the former Paramount CEO who was indirectly involved in the creation of Time Warner in the 1980s, and was directly involved in a bidding war for Paramount in the 1990s. The Wall Street Journal<\/em> reported<\/a> this week that Diller had expressed interest in acquiring CNN from Warner last year but was rebuffed. According to the report, Diller remains interested in the news network, an asset of the Warner Bros portfolio that Netflix has never shown any interest in.<\/p>\n

In other words, the Netflix-Warner takeover saga could have a lot of room to run, and from the bearish Melissa Otto\u2019s perspective, that\u2019s just bad news for investors looking at this deal stock. Until there is transparency regarding the debt structure of the WBD deal and proof that the new ad-supported model can optimize cash flow, the stock may remain stagnant, she warned. \u201cInvestors aren\u2019t really tastemakers \u2026 They just want to see what\u2019s going to ultimately translate into earnings growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
