Streaming is more crowded and consumers more price conscious. All this raises questions about how much Netflix can keep growing.

- Content arms race: Netflix continues to bring out big names and A-listers to beef up its original content, a list that includes former President Obama, Ryan Reynolds, Duane Johnson, and Gal Gadot. But will it be enough to go toe to toe with other blockbuster originals from rival streaming services? The company expected to add 2.5 million new subscribers for the quarter. - Subscriber growth: Will Netflix deliver an about-face in terms of subscriber growth, after a sharp decline in 2021? “While this added competition may be affecting our marginal growth some, we continue to grow in every country and region in which these new streaming alternatives have launched.” In a shareholder letter, Netflix blamed a number of factors, including inflation, increased account sharing, and growing competition. The numbers are in and they’re not good.

Netflix Share Price On Track For Biggest Fall In Nearly A Decade | Mint (Livemint)

For the second time this year, Netflix shares fell sharply after the company disappointed investors.

The last time Netflix shares fell 25% on a single day was July 25, 2012, according to FactSet, a day after the company warned of slowing growth for its subscription service. The company had increased its subscription fee earlier this year. The growing number of streaming options has made consumers more price- sensitive. In January, Netflix shares slid more than 20% when the streaming company said it expected to add a much smaller number of subscribers than it did one year prior. Shares shed a quarter of their value in premarket trading Wednesday. Investors had expected that the company would add new users in the first quarter. The drop would slash around $40 billion of its market capitalization, which stood at $157 billion on Tuesday, according to FactSet.

However, Netflix is exploring the possibility of a soft price cut, in the form of an ad-supported tier, according to Reed Hastings, its chair and co-founder. Netflix has been increasing its monthly fees sharply around the world, with some UK subscribers now paying a third more than they were less than two years ago for the same service.

Legacy media has disrupted Netflix. The consequence may be ... (CNBC)

Instead of legacy media shares soaring as they imitate Netflix, the industry has brought Netflix down to a degree.

And following Netflix into streaming hasn't led to the multiple expansion the legacy companies were hoping for. If Netflix looks and acts like all other entertainment companies, it sets itself up to be disrupted too. If Netflix is embracing ads after years of resisting them, will the company next get into live sports? That may not be good news for the entertainment companies striving to gain market share. Netflix announced Tuesday it's exploring adding a lower-priced, advertising-based tier to its service. The companies saw Netflix trade at sky-high multiples, leading to a soaring stock price, no matter how much it spent on content.

Netflix is looking to consolidate its position in the market. It generated $800m in free cash flow in the first quarter, providing funds to reinvest in new content and cut debt. These numbers illustrate the scale of the challenges facing both the company and the wider sector. Analysts estimate the firm will spend around $20bn on content this year, nearly double the $10bn it spent in 2020. Withdrawing from Russia after its invasion of Ukraine cost another 700,000 paying users (excluding this loss, the group actually added 500,000 subscribers in the first quarter, although this was still far below Wall Street expectations). With content and market costs rising, the group is tapping its customers for extra cash, and this isn’t going down too well.

"Those who have followed Netflix know that I've been against the complexity of advertising, and a big fan of the simplicity of subscription," he said.

In the UK, households cancelled more than 1.5 million streaming subscriptions in the first three months of the year, with 38% saying they wanted to save money.

Investors were shocked last night by the revelation numbers of new Netflix subscribers had fallen for the first time in more than a decade.

"The combination of one plus two led to three - scale. "The most obvious target would be a rival TV company such as Paramount+," Campling argued. "The media giants did not view Netflix as a rival, until their users/viewers started cutting the cord. "Netflix believes there are more than 100 million households sharing accounts, meaning it is losing out on additional subscribers and revenue," he said. Laura Hoy, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, argued that while Netflix has a relatively weak back catalogue when compared to its rivals, the streamer is adept at original programming and its name has "become synonymous with addictive TV". "That may well boost revenue in the short term, but in reality to expand its reach to people who do not interact regularly with Netflix will require the streaming firm to keep producing the goods when it comes to content."
