Citi maintains a Buy rating with a $115 price target and expects Netflix to deliver a “modest beat and raise” quarter, aided by favorable currency moves. The firm anticipates Netflix will lift its full-year 2026 outlook, driven by higher prices and reduced acquisition-related expenses.
JPMorgan’s case centers on the pricing announcement. The firm estimates the increases could translate to an additional $1.7 billion in annualized revenue off the 2025 base. Critically, JPMorgan notes that while the increases came earlier than expected, much of the impact is already factored into Netflix’s 2026 revenue guidance, and the firm expects engagement, conversion, and retention to remain stable.
