Netflix, Inc. (NFLX): William Blair's Bull Case Points To $185 Price Target

William Blair upgraded Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) to Outperform in August 2016 and believes there continues to be upside potential for the streaming video leader. Through William Blair's research, it believes that Netflix has a meaningful leg up on original programming within the over-the-top (OTT) streaming environment and suggest that these advantages might be underappreciated by investors. Moreover, contrary to some, William Blair believes OTT streaming still has plenty of room to grow both domestically and internationally, and Netflix is well positioned to benefit from this secular growth. Parks Associates estimates that more than 60% of broadband households in the United States subscribe to at least one subscription-video-on-demand (SVOD) service. William Blair believes the long-term penetration opportunity is 90% in the United States, in line with pay TV today.
