The company is effectively making more money per dollar of capital used, and it's worth noting that the amount of capital has increased too, by 339%.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Above, you can see how the current ROCE for Netflix compares to its prior returns on capital, but there's only so much you can tell from the past.

So this improvement in ROCE has come from the business' underlying economics, which is great to see.</p>\n<p><b>Growth Drivers</b></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FFBC\">First</a>, let's establish where Netflix stands with regard to Market Share. Their infographic from the last letter to shareholders presents an interesting picture:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/129bb43867f0bea1eda81fb31902c010\" tg-width=\"804\" tg-height=\"547\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">NasdaqGS:NFLX Estimated Market Share 7th 2021</p>\n<p>From the chart above, we can see that Netflix is the current leader in streaming, but more importantly, that the streaming industry may have a lot more space to expand in. Of course, there will be push back, as older industries fight to retain their market share, but in these battles the better product usually wins over the long run. So let's take a look at the product itself.</p>\n<p><b>Netflix is a platform, streamer and content creator. </b></p>\n<p>As a platform, its goal is to deliver the best user experience while watching. In that regard, we will mention <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> old and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> new feature. The old feature is the recommendation algorithm that, while unnoticed, is one of the key components of user enjoyment in the platform. Netflix pioneered an efficient algorithm, which made watch recommendations for users with a high success rate. In the new feature, we can see how Netflix steps up, by automizing this process with the new \"Play Something\" feature, which gives the user an option to let the platform chose the next stream after it has picked up that the user can't make up their mind. The utility of this function is that it helps people choose who just want something playing in the background while doing something else.</p>\n<p>As a streamer, Netflix is utilizing high storage capacity and quality delivery cloud infrastructure to deliver the highest quality streams with the lowest bandwidth costs and expense. This gives the users an HD experience and presents barriers to entry for smaller competitors that do not have the infrastructure to store and deliver large quantities of content.</p>\n<p>Finally, as a content creator, Netflix has revolutionized the industry. They are heavily re-investing in new content and have set their <b>2021 content investment</b> (inferred from the content amortization number in the last <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTWO\">Q2</a> letter) <b>target to US$12b</b>. The key to their growth strategy is the production of a diversified portfolio of content which will increasingly include unscripted shows such as: \"Too Hot to Handle\", \"The Circle\" etc. They also focus on international expansion in the Latin <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AFG\">American</a> Region with an accent on Brazil, and in Asia Pacific - since that region represented about two-thirds of global paid net adds in the quarter. This means, that while growth in the US audience may have plateaued, the company is shifting focus to unscripted shows and international expansion, which can give it a few more years of high growth.</p>\n<p><b>Margins</b></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ISBC\">Investors</a> are primarily interested in cash flows, and that is driven by margins to a large extent. We must note, that since 2016, the company has been increasing its operating margin by close to 3% per year consistently.</p>\n<p>The chart below outlines the precision of their growth.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/961caa5504f197476c766c28a7bb5628\" tg-width=\"835\" tg-height=\"495\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">NasdaqGS:NFLX Historical EBIT Margins, September 7th 2021</p>\n<p>It is this increase in profitability that may primarily be responsible for the <b>recent higher valuation of the company - Market Cap at US$261.4b</b>. While unpredictable in future terms, we can see how Netflix might reach an EBIT margin some 5% higher than the US industry average of 19.3%, and lock-in around 25% EBIT margin in a few years. A number beyond that will be hard to justify in the long term, especially in the current high competition environment and the number 1 complaint of users being the price hikes (Ctrl + F: complaint).</p>\n<p><b>In Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>Netflix's current valuation seems to be close to the intrinsic value of the company, and justifiably so.</p>\n<p>The company has a multitude of value and growth drivers working in its favor.</p>\n<p>The Growth Drivers include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><i>International expansion, primarily in Brazil and Asia Pacific</i></li>\n <li><i>A high re-investment rate in content</i></li>\n <li><i>Diversifying the content portfolio to include originals, TV shows, unscripted/reality shows, animated shows, third party licensed content, gaming content etc</i></li>\n</ul>\n<p>The Value Drivers include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><i>A refinement of the recommendation algorithm with the addition of the \"Play Something\" feature</i></li>\n <li><i>Return on Capital Employed at 18%, and announcing the reduction/discontinuing of financing from equity (meaning that Netflix is becoming self sustainable)</i></li>\n <li><i>Consistent growth in margins, surpassing the industry average, with the possibility to expand around 25% EBIT margin in a few years</i></li>\n</ul>\n<p>In summary, it's great to see that Netflix can compound returns by consistently reinvesting capital at increasing rates of return, because these are some key ingredients of those highly sought after multi-baggers.</p>\n<p>And a remarkable 531% total return over the last five years tells us that investors are expecting more good things to come in the future.</p>","source":"yahoofinance","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

A number beyond that will be hard to justify in the long term, especially in the current high competition environment and the number 1 complaint of users being the price hikes (Ctrl + F: complaint).\nIn Conclusion\nNetflix's current valuation seems to be close to the intrinsic value of the company, and justifiably so.\nThe company has a multitude of value and growth drivers working in its favor.\nThe Growth Drivers include:\n\nInternational expansion, primarily in Brazil and Asia Pacific\nA high re-investment rate in content\nDiversifying the content portfolio to include originals, TV shows, unscripted/reality shows, animated shows, third party licensed content, gaming content etc\n\nThe Value Drivers include:\n\nA refinement of the recommendation algorithm with the addition of the \"Play Something\" feature\nReturn on Capital Employed at 18%, and announcing the reduction/discontinuing of financing from equity (meaning that Netflix is becoming self sustainable)\nConsistent growth in margins, surpassing the industry average, with the possibility to expand around 25% EBIT margin in a few years\n\nIn summary, it's great to see that Netflix can compound returns by consistently reinvesting capital at increasing rates of return, because these are some key ingredients of those highly sought after multi-baggers.\nAnd a remarkable 531% total return over the last five years tells us that investors are expecting more good things to come in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":262,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":817438997,"gmtCreate":1630979347319,"gmtModify":1676530432940,"author":{"id":"4091274464217830","authorId":"4091274464217830","name":"liaoqibing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f70a8e81891ec9742ee4c471bf2df770","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091274464217830","authorIdStr":"4091274464217830"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"good","listText":"good","text":"good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/817438997","repostId":"2165877953","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2165877953","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1630979163,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2165877953?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-07 09:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Will Corsair Gaming Be the Next GameStop?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2165877953","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Retail investors are taking an interest in this gaming hardware stock, and trading volume recently surged.","content":"<p>High-performance gaming and streaming equipment company <b>Corsair Gaming</b> (NASDAQ:CRSR) saw interest in its stock spike early in the week of Aug. 30 as the retail investors on Reddit's WallStreetBets forum apparently called attention to its existence.

The bad news is it's still deep in the red, and only selling a fraction of the number of tickets it was selling before the pandemic took hold.</p>\n<p>None of this is terribly shocking, of course. A year earlier, the world was largely shut down due to COVID-19. Though the contagion is still with us, consumers and businesses alike are coping. Theaters in the U.S. were mostly reopened by March -- before AMC's second quarter began -- and studios were at least willing to give theaters a try. Universal's <i>Fast and Furious</i> series entry <i>F9</i>&nbsp;debuted in June, catching the tail end of the quarter in question.<i> A Quiet Place, Part II,</i> and <i>Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard</i> were also released in May and June, respectively. <i>Godzilla vs. Kong</i> was in theaters back in April. They weren't necessarily must-sees, but for newly vaccinated movie-goers ready to get out and do something close to normal again, they were something.</p>\n<p>As it turns out, though, they were still very little. AMC has miles to go before nearing the sort of business it was doing before the coronavirus rattled the world.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f60e80beb92a6bcec1a0ff4dbc1b82bd\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>A still-ugly picture</h2>\n<p>The image below speaks volumes, plotting the number of movie tickets AMC sold every quarter through the quarter ending in June. Also plotted are the company's historical quarterly revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and operating profit (or loss), which is a function of those ticket sales. As the saying goes, read 'em and weep.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F638611%2F081021-amc-fiscal-history.png&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"403\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data source: AMC Entertainment Holdings. Chart by author. Fiscal data is in millions. Ticket data is in thousands.</span></p>\n<p>Last quarter's 22.1 million tickets sold is around a fourth of the company's usual quarterly ticket sales, around 90 million. Q2's revenue of $444.7 million is roughly a third of the normal figure of $1.3 billion. The most recent results are clearly better than the non-existent numbers being produced a year ago, but still, we're miles away from the pre-pandemic norm. The company's also still deep in the red, reporting an operating loss of $296.6 million and negative adjusted EBITDA of $150.8 million.</p>\n<p>Neither the numbers nor the trend should be surprising, even if analysts and investors alike could only make broad guesses given that the turnaround remains a work in progress. Any revenue and earnings estimate that's even close to the actual reported figure is impressive in light of the circumstances.</p>\n<p>The earnings beat itself, however, has largely obscured more important matters and left important questions unanswered. Chief among these questions is, how much longer will it take the entire movie industry to crawl all the way out of the hole it's still clearly in?</p>\n<h2>From sizzle to fizzle</h2>\n<p>The release of <i>F9</i> in June drew patrons back to theaters, to be sure. Box Office Mojo reports domestic ticket sales of nearly $99 million for that late-June weekend, which was the best weekend the business had seen since February of last year.&nbsp;<b>Walt Disney</b>'s (NYSE:DIS) <i>Black Widow</i> led an even better weekend in early July, leading to $117 million worth of ticket sales in the U.S.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e24f62e8ffec16871093643907bf6e1f\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"406\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data source: Box Office Mojo. Chart by author.</span></p>\n<p>Things have clearly cooled off in the meantime, however, despite reasonably splashy titles like<i> Jungle Cruise, Space Jam: A New Legacy</i>, and <i>The Suicide Squad</i> being in theaters. <i>Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard</i> and <i>A Quiet Place, Part II</i> are also still in theaters, offering at least something theatrical to a wide audience. Consumers just aren't as stoked about going to the movies as they were a month ago.</p>\n<p>Can AMC explain these gloomy trends with the resurgence of COVID-19 via the delta variant? Sure, that's a headwind that can't be ignored. Something else that can't be ignored, however, is the fact that<i> Jungle Cruise, The Suicide Squad, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Black Widow,</i> and <i>F9</i> can all be streamed at home.</p>\n<h2>Bottom line</h2>\n<p>This isn't a forecast for a complete collapse of AMC. One way or another, the theater chain will carry on. It may require some sort of reorganization or debt restructuring, but the name will survive.</p>\n<p>The return to normalcy (or profitability) is at least several quarters away, though, and that could be a few rough quarters.

The bad news is it's still deep in the red, and only selling a fraction of the number of tickets it was selling before the pandemic took hold.\nNone of this is terribly shocking, of course. A year earlier, the world was largely shut down due to COVID-19. Though the contagion is still with us, consumers and businesses alike are coping. Theaters in the U.S. were mostly reopened by March -- before AMC's second quarter began -- and studios were at least willing to give theaters a try. Universal's Fast and Furious series entry F9 debuted in June, catching the tail end of the quarter in question. A Quiet Place, Part II, and Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard were also released in May and June, respectively. Godzilla vs. Kong was in theaters back in April. They weren't necessarily must-sees, but for newly vaccinated movie-goers ready to get out and do something close to normal again, they were something.\nAs it turns out, though, they were still very little. AMC has miles to go before nearing the sort of business it was doing before the coronavirus rattled the world.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nA still-ugly picture\nThe image below speaks volumes, plotting the number of movie tickets AMC sold every quarter through the quarter ending in June. Also plotted are the company's historical quarterly revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and operating profit (or loss), which is a function of those ticket sales. As the saying goes, read 'em and weep.\nData source: AMC Entertainment Holdings. Chart by author. Fiscal data is in millions. Ticket data is in thousands.\nLast quarter's 22.1 million tickets sold is around a fourth of the company's usual quarterly ticket sales, around 90 million. Q2's revenue of $444.7 million is roughly a third of the normal figure of $1.3 billion. The most recent results are clearly better than the non-existent numbers being produced a year ago, but still, we're miles away from the pre-pandemic norm. The company's also still deep in the red, reporting an operating loss of $296.6 million and negative adjusted EBITDA of $150.8 million.\nNeither the numbers nor the trend should be surprising, even if analysts and investors alike could only make broad guesses given that the turnaround remains a work in progress. Any revenue and earnings estimate that's even close to the actual reported figure is impressive in light of the circumstances.\nThe earnings beat itself, however, has largely obscured more important matters and left important questions unanswered. Chief among these questions is, how much longer will it take the entire movie industry to crawl all the way out of the hole it's still clearly in?\nFrom sizzle to fizzle\nThe release of F9 in June drew patrons back to theaters, to be sure. Box Office Mojo reports domestic ticket sales of nearly $99 million for that late-June weekend, which was the best weekend the business had seen since February of last year. Walt Disney's (NYSE:DIS) Black Widow led an even better weekend in early July, leading to $117 million worth of ticket sales in the U.S.\nData source: Box Office Mojo. Chart by author.\nThings have clearly cooled off in the meantime, however, despite reasonably splashy titles like Jungle Cruise, Space Jam: A New Legacy, and The Suicide Squad being in theaters. Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard and A Quiet Place, Part II are also still in theaters, offering at least something theatrical to a wide audience. Consumers just aren't as stoked about going to the movies as they were a month ago.\nCan AMC explain these gloomy trends with the resurgence of COVID-19 via the delta variant? Sure, that's a headwind that can't be ignored. Something else that can't be ignored, however, is the fact that Jungle Cruise, The Suicide Squad, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Black Widow, and F9 can all be streamed at home.\nBottom line\nThis isn't a forecast for a complete collapse of AMC. One way or another, the theater chain will carry on. It may require some sort of reorganization or debt restructuring, but the name will survive.\nThe return to normalcy (or profitability) is at least several quarters away, though, and that could be a few rough quarters. In the meantime, this company has to justify an $18.5 billion market cap, never having produced more than a billion dollars' worth of EBITDA in any four-quarter stretch and never having turned an annualized operating profit of more than $265 million in any four-quarter span -- even in its 2018 heyday.\nAt the very least, AMC investors should exercise caution. These investors should also start asking exactly how AMC is going to convince a bunch of consumers to fall out of love with streaming new releases at home. There might not be a good answer to that question.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":225,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":897580061,"gmtCreate":1628942055253,"gmtModify":1676529897395,"author":{"id":"4091274464217830","authorId":"4091274464217830","name":"liaoqibing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f70a8e81891ec9742ee4c471bf2df770","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091274464217830","authorIdStr":"4091274464217830"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nothing","listText":"Nothing","text":"Nothing","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb1e1fd003721af45cad4715bd5498b0","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/897580061","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":134,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"following","isTTM":true}
