$Netflix(NFLX)$ Let’s not confuse momentum with safety. Netflix at $1,000 doesn’t make it a tariff-proof haven—it just means markets are chasing winners.
Still Cyclical at Core: If consumer wallets get tighter due to tariff-driven inflation, discretionary spending like streaming is not immune. Churn can creep up fast.
Content Arms Race Isn’t Over: Netflix still competes fiercely with Disney, Amazon, and YouTube. Content costs are rising globally, and local production is exposed to FX/tariff-related costs too.
Valuation Risk: At $1,000, Netflix is pricing in near-perfection. One slip-up—weak guidance, subscriber miss, or content flop—and the stock could correct sharply.
It’s Tech, Not Utilities: Safe havens are supposed to be stable. Netflix is still a growth stock in a sentiment-driven sector. Not exactly your classic port-in-a-storm.
Bottom line: Netflix is a great business—but not a safety net. Especially not with this valuation and a volatile global backdrop.
