These are still very healthy numbers. \nOperating income nearly doubled from Q1 2020 due to lower content spend. But normal production schedules are now up and running in all regions except Brazil and India. And the company expects to spend $17 billion on content this year, more than the $12.5 billion it spent in 2020. \nThis will pressure profits and cash flow, but it will help drive subscriber growth in the second half of the year as a heavier slate of new releases comes out.

And if newcomers streaming services like Disney+ and AT&T's HBO Max give you pause, then consider this: About 90% of customers to these two services also subscribe to Netflix, while only 20% and 50% of Netflix subscribers are also customers of HBO Max and Disney+, respectively. This demonstrates the value proposition Netflix offers. \nThe final word \nNetflix is still the leader in streaming. As it continues to spend billions on award-winning content, membership will keep rising over time, particularly overseas. Even if the company only adds 9 million total customers during the rest of the year, that would still equate to 50 million over the last two years. Investors should take this pessimism surrounding the stock (and the short-term price drop) as an opportunity to buy shares. \nAdditionally, the company is on the verge of being sustainably cash-flow-positive, with planned share repurchases supporting shareholder returns.
