Netflix, Inc. (NFLX): Not An Analyst Who Isn't Buying Netflix, Says Jim Cramer

We recently published 10 Stocks Jim Cramer Discussed As He Shared Key Insights From Morgan Stanley’s CEO. Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.

Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is one of Cramer’s favorite media stocks. Not only has he discussed the firm regularly this year, but the CNBC host has also continued to express optimism about the firm. Two central points that drive Cramer’s excitement about Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) are the firm’s sizable market share and content originality. This set of remarks was made ahead of the firm’s earnings. The report sent Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX)’s shares down by 1.6% in aftermarket trading as investors focused on worries of growing costs despite a solid all-around beat. Here’s what Cramer said before the earnings:

“Well I mean you will see Netflix in there, there’s not an analyst in the world who’s not buying Netflix tonight. Everybody.

“[On his earnings expectations]I think it’s gonna be great. It’s really interesting, I was watching, you know the overseas Squawk Box in London, and I liked that, they do a good job. But they went over every single program. It was like hey, did you see this? Did you see that?. . .the universality of the programming is really amazing.

“I mean I was listening literally to our colleagues, and I might as well been in a bar in Manhattan. I mean everybody’s talking, they all talk about the same thing.”

Previously, Cramer remarked on how Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) might experience turbulence after the earnings:

“After the close, we’re treated to the most delightful of conference calls, Netflix. First thing, I have a dearth of things to watch right now. It’s really starting to bug me. So I’m going to be listening to the conference call in part because they talk about all the great overseas programming. I get some terrific ideas of what to watch when I get home that night. The bar is very high for Netflix, though, which will have to tell us how their ad tier is going, how Squid Game did, and how NFL Christmas streaming football advertising’s looking.

If Netflix doesn’t deliver an outstanding number, though, I gotta tell you, there’ll be an awful lot of downside. We have so many price target boosts, even two today. I’d be a little nervous, even as I expect a good quarter.”

While we acknowledge the potential of NFLX as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
