Wall Street sets Netflix stock price for next 12 months

Despite facing initial challenges with its newly announced advertisement plan, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) successfully ended the fiscal year 2023 with robust financial reports and promising guidance for the upcoming quarter.

Profitability was boosted by price increases and the implementation of a new ad plan, resulting in a 12% revenue growth for the company by the end of the year. Operating margin expansion was substantial, and a record-breaking Free Cash Flow (FCF) of $6.9 billion was achieved.

At the close of trading on February 21, NFLX ended at $573.35, reflecting a slight decrease of -0.31%. Despite this minor decline, the stock had shown a 1.08% increase over the previous five trading sessions and an impressive 18.04% gain over the past month, indicating a recent pattern of fluctuation.

NFLX is trading close to its 52-week high, indicating positive momentum. However, the S&P500 Index is also reaching new highs, suggesting NFLX’s performance aligns with the overall market.

Over the past month, NFLX has fluctuated between $537.07 and $597.00, presenting a wide range. It is currently trading around the midpoint of this range, where prices have been consolidating recently. This could offer a potential entry opportunity, although there might be resistance above.

A support zone is identified between $550.04 and $569.67, comprising various trend lines and significant moving averages across multiple time frames.

Resistance is noted around $597.

Adaptability is key to success for NFLX stock

Netflix has demonstrated resilience and adaptability in navigating a challenging macroeconomic landscape over the past two years. Despite consumer cutbacks in discretionary spending impacting their financial performance, the company’s strategic initiatives, such as introducing a new ad plan membership and cracking down on password sharing, have proven effective.

The significant adoption of the ad plan membership, leading to a remarkable 70% quarter-over-quarter growth, presents substantial revenue growth opportunities as Netflix aims to scale its advertising revenue platform. The company’s guidance of $9.24 billion in revenue for Q1 FY24, indicating approximately 13% year-over-year growth, coupled with an expected expansion of operating margin, positions Netflix as one of the top tech stocks to consider for investment in 2024.
