Valuation</h2><p>The drop in the stock price following earnings slammed tech investors across the board. Amid a slight decline in its subscriber base compared with the fourth quarter, Netflix stock wiped out more than four years&#39; worth of gains.</p><p>However, its price-to-earnings ratio now stands at 20. This is a valuation it has not seen in nearly 10 years. Its multiple is now more comparable to that of <b>Comcast </b>and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WBD\">Warner Bros. Discovery</a></b>, which sell for 15 and 14 times earnings, respectively. Moreover, it has become significantly cheaper than <b>Disney </b>(now at 72 times earnings), and it is a radical change from the pre-pandemic days when Netflix typically sold for a P/E ratio of over 100.</p><h2>2. Financials</h2><p>And while it does not post the rapid growth of past years, its financial performance remains solid. Revenue of just under $7.9 billion grew 10%. Despite the sequential drop in subscribers, subscriber numbers still rose 7% year over year to just under 222 million.</p><p>In contrast, net income dropped by more than 6% in that period to just under $1.6 billion. However, it increased spending on technology development and general and administrative expenses while its interest and other income dropped.</p><p>Additionally, Netflix had cash flow challenges in past years as it had to run up debt to cover content development costs. Nonetheless, first-quarter free cash flow came in at $802 million, 16% higher than 12 months ago. Also, total debt fell by $858 million over the same period, adding strength to its balance sheet.</p><h2>3. A robust outlook</h2><p>For all of the concerns about its outlook, its problem came from not meeting investor expectations. Indeed, the forecast of a decline in subscribers of 2 million looks disappointing on the surface.</p><p>However, the company still forecasts 10% year-over-year revenue growth. This comes from a cost increase that will take its standard plan from $13.99 per month to $15.49 per month. It also plans a lower-cost, ad-supported option to attract customers who think its current service costs too much, and a move into gaming could increase interest in the platform.</p><p>Although analysts forecast a 3% dip in net income for the year, they also believe it will grow by 15% in 2023. Thus, they see its current struggles as temporary.</p><h2>The reason to sell: A weakened competitive moat</h2><p>The biggest challenge now for Netflix hinges on whether it has lost its competitive advantage. The company has a history of strong strategic decision-making.
