What Happened?
Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) stock was nearly flat this week, with shares closing at $93 on March 27. That quiet move came even as the company announced new U.S. price increases across all plans. Reuters reported the ad-supported plan rose to $9, the standard plan rose to $20, and the premium plan rose to $27.
The market reaction was muted because investors had already been treating pricing as one of Netflix’s core growth levers. Reuters also reported TD Cowen expects the new pricing to lift average revenue per subscriber in the U.S. and Canada by 6% in 2026. That helps explain why the stock rose on the price-hike news, but only modestly. Investors appear to see the move as supportive, but not surprising.
Netflix also stayed in the headlines because of its push into live events and music programming. Reuters reported its livestream of BTS’s Seoul concert drew 18.4 million viewers globally and ranked in Netflix’s weekly Top 10 in 80 countries. Reuters also reported Netflix signed a multi-year documentary partnership with Warner Music Group, which adds another content lane beyond traditional series and films.
At the same time, the stock is likely being held back by event risk around first-quarter earnings on April 16. Netflix’s shares have already recovered from their March dip, and investors now seem to be waiting for the next business update. So this week’s flat action looks less like fading demand and more like a pause while the market weighs pricing, advertising, and the next earnings print.

Is NFLX Stock Undervalued?
Under valuation model assumptions realized through 12/31/28, the stock is modeled using:
- Revenue growth (CAGR): 11.7%
- Operating Margins: 29.5%
- Exit P/E Multiple: 29.8x
Based on these inputs, the model estimates a target price of $126, implying 34.4% total upside from the current share price and a 11.3% annualized return over the next 2.8 years.
Those assumptions start from a business that is already operating at a very large scale. Revenue rose 15.9% to $45.2 billion in 2025, while operating income increased 27.9% to $13.3 billion. Gross margin also expanded to 48.5%, and operating margin reached 29.5%. That means Netflix is growing revenue and profit at the same time, which supports a premium multiple.
The valuation debate is about how much more improvement is still ahead. Netflix trades at 29.82x NTM P/E and 23.57x NTM EV/EBITDA, while the Street target price mean is $113.21. That is not a distressed valuation, but it is also below the company’s 1-year historical P/E of 37.5x shown in the model. So the current setup suggests investors still respect the business, but are less willing to pay peak multiples.
The balance sheet gives Netflix room to keep investing. The company ended 2025 with about $9.1 billion of cash and short-term investments, while net debt fell to about $7.9 billion. Free cash flow also rose 36.7% to $9.5 billion in 2025. That matters because it means Netflix can fund content, product expansion, and buybacks without stretching the business.
What’s Driving the NFLX Stock Going Forward?
The next major catalyst is first-quarter earnings on April 16. Netflix said it will post first-quarter 2026 results and business outlook on that date, followed by a management interview. Investors will be watching whether pricing, ads, and content engagement are strong enough to keep margins expanding.
Management has already laid out the core drivers for 2026. In the fourth-quarter earnings interview, CFO Spence Neumann said Netflix delivered 16% revenue growth in 2025, roughly 30% operating profit growth, and ad sales that grew 2.5x, and he said the company expects that ad business to “roughly double again in 2026 to about $3 billion.” The shareholder letter also forecast 2026 revenue of $50.7 billion to $51.7 billion and a 31.5% operating margin.
Netflix also continues to broaden the product without abandoning discipline. At the Morgan Stanley conference, Neumann said the company has averaged a little over 2 percentage points of margin growth per year over the last five years, and that the 31.5% guide is consistent with that history. He also said Netflix still sees “really attractive opportunities” to invest in film, TV series, and licensing while keeping spending below revenue growth.
Beyond earnings, investors will keep watching live programming, music content, and pricing power. Reuters reported the BTS livestream was one of Netflix’s biggest live-event wins of 2026 so far, and the Warner Music deal adds more ways to monetize fandom. If those newer formats deepen engagement without hurting margins, they could support the company’s next leg of growth. If not, the stock may stay range-bound near current levels even with solid fundamentals.
