Bank of America on Netflix: The first quarter showed that Netflix is "SUBstantially ahead" of other streaming companies, Ehrlich said.
Ehrlich said Netflix's first-quarter results showed the company still had several key growth drivers, including the ramp of the ad-tier, the continued benefit of password sharing crackdown, a strong 2024 content slate, a strong subscriber base in developing markets and the potential of price increases.
The big item that could be weighing on Netflix shares is the company's decision to stop sharing paid subscriber figures and average revenue per member in 2024.
"While still early, the potential concern is subscriber growth had significantly decelerated in 2022 (prior to the implementation of paid sharing), and this could be a harbinger of decelerating subscriber growth in the future," Ehrlich said.
The analyst said Netflix should continue to outperform going forward.
Wedbush on Netflix: The decision to stop sharing subscriber metrics was the key takeaway for Reese.
"This decision is consistent with our oft-repeated assertion that Netflix would inevitably pivot from a high-growth, low-profit business to a slow-growth, high-profit business," Reese said.
The analyst said Netflix has a "virtually insurmountable lead in the streaming wars."
Reese said other streaming companies might fail when trying to copy the Netflix model.
"Netflix continues to benefit from both its password crackdown and advertising tier expansion. The biggest benefit of the ad tier is that it limits churn."
Reese said Netflix could continue expanding its profitability moving further.
"We think Netflix can meet expectations for EPS to more than double between 2023 and 2026, supporting its premium valuation."
Macquarie on Netflix: The streaming company could have an upside to its average revenue per member, Nollen said in a new note.
"Netflix has plenty of upside to ARM as it builds its ad business and can raise prices selectively," Nollen said.
The analyst said the decision to stop reporting some metrics could be seen as a negative, but he welcomes the decision.
"Recall Apple did this with iPhone units to focus the street toward more important fundamental metrics — with the hope that Netflix will provide more meaningful engagement metrics and more ad-tier related info over time."
Oppenheimer on Netflix: Updates on the paid sharing and ad opportunities were key highlights from Netflix in the quarter for Helfstein.
"We expect increased investor support as Paid Sharing proving longer duration subscriber tailwind through '24, with advertising/price increases in '25," Helfstein said.
The business update on ad-tier subs showed growth of 65% from the fourth quarter. The analyst said Netflix is targeting similar monetization on its ad-free and ad-tier plans over time, which could make ads a monetization headwind.
Needham on Netflix: The global scale of Netflix and potential price increases are two items that led to an upgrade on the stock by Martin.
Martin said Netflix is softening on its "no sports" previous comments with the potential to license sports content that could drive profitable growth.
The decision to not report subscriber numbers comes with the company saying that revenue, operating margins and average consumer time on platform will be key metrics.
"Our Buy on NFLX is based on: revenue growth, driven by a) GenerativeAI will most benefit companies that are tech-first, and NFLX qualifies; b) NFLX has global scale, which maximizes the value of its data; c) price increases; and d) ad revs should accelerate rev growth and expand margins," Martin said.
Goldman Sachs on Netflix: The first quarter results provide a "solid start to 2024," Sheridan said in a new investor note.
"Netflix reported a strong Q1 '24 earnings report driven by better-than-expected subscriber growth and signs of pricing increases beginning to impact revenue per member household in some regions," Sheridan said.
The analyst said product initiatives shared by the company could set up for double-digit revenue growth and margin expansion. The question for investors is how much future growth is already priced in, Sheridan said.
JPMorgan on Netflix: The full-year revenue outlook and removing subscriber metrics in the future weigh on Netflix stock, Anmuth said.
The analyst shared that the subscriber addition of 9.3 million paid subscribers was the highest first-quarter figure since the COVID-19 impacted first quarter of 2020.
Paid sharing has been a key to net subscriber growth and Anmuth believes it could continue in 2024, adding around 11 million net adds for the full year.
"Price increases across international markets are likely to follow later this year, which should alleviate ARM pressures from the lack of price increases, country/geo mix, paid sharing &amp; slow advertising monetization," Anmuth said.
The analyst was encouraged by a 65% quarter-over-quarter increase in ad-tier membership growth.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix shares are down 8.71% to $557.36 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $315.62 to $639. Shares of Netflix are up 70% over the last year.

Netflix Stock Sized Up By 7 Analysts Post Q1 Results: 'Pivot From A High-Growth, Low-Profit Business To A Slow-Growth, High-Profit Business'

Whisky lovers know the name Macallan the same way car enthusiasts know the name Ferrari. It's synonymous with excellence and highly sought after, which is why a 60-year-old bottle of Macallan sold for a record $2.7 million at auction in November. That eye-popping final hammer price not only set a new record for the most expensive bottle of whisky ever sold, but it also broke a record that had previously been held by another bottle of Macallan.

<li>Oprah, Madonna and DiCaprio have turned to the alternative asset that is outperforming the S&amp;P 500.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks"> Discover the potential of this market for yourself.&nbsp;</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottled In 1926 And Adorned With A Custom Label</h2>
When it comes to Scotch, the longer it has aged, the higher its value. Under Scottish law, whisky must be aged in a barrel for a minimum of three years to meet the legal definition of Scotch. The longer it stays in the barrel, the longer its flavors are allowed to mature. The number of years it's aged in the barrel before bottling is known as the "age statement."
The value increase is not incremental but exponential when it comes to bottles dating to 1926, like the recent record breaker, which is known as the<a href="https://robbreport.com/food-drink/spirits/the-macallan-1926-60-year-old-single-malt-scotch-whisky-sothebys-auction-1235424519/"> Macallan Valerio Adami 60</a>. It was first distilled and barreled in 1926, where it spent 60 years aging before being bottled in 1986 when it was a limited edition that consisted of only 40 bottles.
In addition to wearing the Fine and Rare label designation, this Macallan Valerio Adami 60 was one of only 12 bottles to be custom-painted by Italian artist Valerio Adami. The last time a<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/10/25/macallan-rare-scotch-whisky-auctions-1-9-million-sothebys/2452956001/"> Rare and Fine bottle of Macallan</a> from this collection was sold in 2019, it went for a then-record $1.9 million. That record stood until the Valerio Adami 60 was auctioned off by Sotheby's for $2.7 million, shattering the previous record.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Macallan Is One Of The Most Respected Names In Single-Malt Scotch Whisky</h2>
The world of Scotch whisky is not short of great distillers with a long and distinguished heritage, but even in a field with this much history, The Macallan name stands out. This Speyside distillery has been turning out world-class drams since 1824 when it became one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be legally licensed by the Scottish government.
This long history, and the intense pride the distillery takes in its production standards, means even a regular bottle of its 15-year-old single malt will set you back at least $100 at a high-end liquor store. Order a double Macallan 15 at a bar and you could be looking at a $50 tab, assuming the bar carries it. It's not the kind of Scotch you're likely to find at local dive bars or college frat hangouts.
Macallan makes the kind of Scotch you put on a high shelf and drink only on special occasions, or give to people who mean a lot to you.&nbsp; Although the 15 is one of Macallan's stand-by products, it is only one entry in a full range of Macallan whiskies that get more expensive with age and rarity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scotch Whisky Has Become A Growth Industry And Investment Vehicle</h2>
The amount of time necessary to make Rare and Fine scotches like the Valerio Adami 60 means even large distilleries like Macallan can't meet global demand for their best products. Some distillers have begun to release no-age statement whiskies to keep up with the worldwide demand, which continues to grow.
The scarcity and high demand lead to high prices, and investors are now as likely to buy as Scotch enthusiasts. However much the original Valerio Adami first cost in 1986, it's safe to assume the recent $2.7 million sale price has significantly outpaced inflation and most major stock indexes for return on investment in the nearly 40 years since it was first bottled.
The only question now is whether the current owner can resist the temptation to drink the Valerio Adami 60 and for how long. The good news for them is that the longer they hold off, the more likely it is that this bottle will continue to grow exponentially in value.&nbsp;
