Quarterly revenue of $7,926 million for 3Q22 is up 5.9% from $7,483 million in 3Q21 and nine-month revenue for 2022 of $23,763 million is up 8.1% from nine-month revenue of $21,989 million in 2021. The letter says that Netflix accounts for 7.6% of TV time in the US which is 2.6x that of Amazon ( Per the 3Q22 release, the EV is about $8 billion more than the market cap due to the net debt situation. Combining the revenue forecast of $7.8 billion and the adjusted operating margin forecast of 10%, I think we’ll see about $780 million in adjusted operating profit for 4Q22. Per the 3Q22 letter, Netflix accounts for 8.2% of video viewing in the UK which is 2.3x that of Amazon and 2.7x that of Disney+.

They're just being able to reach fewer people and then the 18 to 49 demographic is even faster than the decline in pay-TV. The Netflix 3Q22 letter said their gross debt was $14 billion which is in the $10-$15 billion target range. It remarks that the Covid pandemic is one of the reasons why Netflix was able to make this deal:

Shares of Netflix (NFLX 15.28%) charged sharply higher on Wednesday, surging as much as 15.9%. As of 10:37 a.m. ET, the stock was still up 15.5%.

The "basic with ads" tier will launch in 12 countries and is set debut on Nov. That's why the stock is a buy.

Why Netflix Stock Is a Strong Buy After Blowout Earnings (Investorplace.com)

Netflix indeed reported excellent third-quarter numbers that beat on everything -- subscriber growth, revenues, operating margins., earnings.

Give investors a little bit of subscriber growth, and boom, the stock will soar. Therefore, Netflix stock will keep rallying into 2023 and beyond. Given a huge portion of Netflix accounts are shared – and that Netflix is launching these tools at the same time it’s launching its ad-supported tier – we believe Netflix has a huge opportunity to increase average revenue per subscriber in 2023 by reducing shared account numbers without a significant uptick in churn. We think more than a little bit of subscriber growth is coming in 2023. That is more than a full standard deviation below the stock’s 10-year average sales multiple of 6.8X. The company was supposed to add about a million subscribers in the quarter. Netflix beat on every key performance indicator and Netflix stock soared in response, popping as much as 15% after-hours. Then, it lost even more subscribers in the second quarter. Netflix stock is generationally undervalued due to slowing growth concerns. - The new ad-supported tier will be huge. For the first time since 2012, Netflix lost subscribers in the first quarter of 2022. We thought the stock was grossly undervalued ahead of what we felt would be a very strong quarterly print for the streaming giant.

Simply put, I'd avoid the competition and go with a pick-and-shovel play like Trade Desk in the streaming gold rush. That said, Netflix's move into advertising is a positive confirmation that the overall AVOD market continues to grow at the expense of traditional TV. On balance, I'd avoid Netflix as an investment, as the streaming space is expected to become very competitive and consumers simply have too many entertainment choices, whether it's fully paid or partially free with ads. Additionally, Netflix with ads will only expand the overall CTV advertising total addressable market ("TAM") as streaming continues to capture an incremental share of traditional pay/broadcast TV ad budgets.

Netflix Stock: Are Better Times Ahead? (Kiplinger's Personal Finance)

Netflix stock is soaring after the streaming giant unveiled a big Q3 earnings beat and plans to crackdown on password sharing.

A long-time financial journalist, Dan is a veteran of SmartMoney, MarketWatch, CBS MoneyWatch, InvestorPlace and DailyFinance. If nothing else, the outlook for NFLX stock hasn't been this bright in a while. Whether shares can get back to their market-beating ways over the intermediate term remains to be seen. Valuation, however, only tends to work its magic over the longer term. That's not a bad price to pay for a company expected to generate average annual EPS growth of 24% over the next three to five years. And we'll have to wait and see how NFLX recommendations shake out over the next few days. "This quarter's report goes a long way toward calming fears spurred by first-half 2022 subscriber declines," notes Marok. Of the remaining analysts, 14 rate it at Strong Buy, one says Buy, three call it a Sell and two have it at Strong Sell. "The 100 million 'account borrowers' Netflix has counted represent a clear and present growth opportunity that Netflix will soon be in a position to exploit." At least that's what the NFLX bulls contend.
