Author entered a long position at $87, near the 52-week low of $76; P/E ~28; believes the WB deal overhang is fading and competitors (Paramount/WB) are vulnerable to debt. The recent dip is viewed as a buying opportunity because Netflix’s fundamentals remain solid and the live/PPV pivot offers growth, while rivals are floundering. Netflix is a bargain at current levels given the competitive tailwind and the market mispricing of the WB deal impact. Further downside momentum (stock hit $76 recently); consumer spending slowdown impacting subscriber growth; content IP misses or pricing backlash.
