Netflix. Right. Everybody’s talking about it. Was a good run. A really good run. Now it’s down… what is it, forty percent? Forty! And suddenly everyone’s a genius, questioning everything. Like they didn’t see this coming. It’s infuriating. They launch a streaming service, people use it, and now it’s a disaster? What did they expect, ticker tape parades every quarter?
They’re bragging about subscriber growth, which is fine, I guess. But it’s not like they invented television. And this “successful advertising tier”? Please. It’s commercials. We’ve had commercials for decades. It’s not innovation, it’s just… acknowledging reality. And KPop Demon Hunters? Look, I don’t even know what that is, and frankly, I don’t want to. It’s just… noise. And they think this is going to save them?
So, the stock dips. Of course it does. Everything dips. But the way it dips… it’s just… sloppy. Like they didn’t anticipate a slight headwind. And now they’re talking about Warner Bros. Discovery. Warner Bros. Discovery! That’s a whole other level of… complication. And they’re pausing share buybacks? What is this, amateur hour? You have cash, you buy back shares. It’s basic. It’s… it’s just common sense!
Solid Results, Apparently
They’re saying revenue is up seventeen-point-six percent. Okay. Fine. But what does that mean? It means they made more money. Congratulations. They’re also boasting about an operating margin of twenty-four-point-five percent. I don’t even know what that means. Is that good? Is that bad? Why do they always talk in these ridiculous percentages? Just tell me if it’s going up or down!
And they expect revenue of fifty-point-seven to fifty-one-point-seven billion next year. Billion! It’s just… numbers flying around. And they think ad revenue will double. Double! Like that’s some kind of magic trick. It’s just more commercials, people! More interruptions! Is this what we want? Is this the future of entertainment?
They’re at a four-hundred-billion-dollar market cap, which sounds impressive, until you realize how much money they’re spending on things like… whatever KPop Demon Hunters is. And now they’re saying growth is going to slow down? Slow down! After all this? It’s like they’re actively trying to disappoint people.
Is It a Buy? Honestly?
Down thirty-three percent in three months. Thirty-three percent! And they expect me to just… jump in? It’s insulting. They’re talking about earnings per share, and forward price-to-earnings ratios… it’s just jargon. It’s designed to confuse you. And they don’t even give EPS guidance? What kind of operation is this?
They’re saying it’s a “solid buy” at a “discount valuation.” Discount valuation? What does that even mean? It sounds like they’re trying to sell me something. And they’re comparing it to the S&P 500? That’s not a compliment. The S&P 500 is just… everything. It’s the default. It’s like saying something is “adequate.”
Steady growth, dominance of streaming, expansion into advertising and podcasts… it all sounds good on paper. But honestly? It feels… messy. It feels like they’re throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks. And I’m supposed to invest my money in this? I think I’ll pass. There are plenty of other things to do with my money. Like, I don’t know, just… keeping it.
