MoffettNathanson表示,Netflix投資人對利潤率預期不變感到失望,股價暴跌。

-- 莫菲特納森(MoffettNathanson)週五發布的一份報告稱,儘管Netflix放棄收購華納兄弟探索頻道(Warner Bros. Discovery,簡稱WBD)的交易本應有利於降低其成本,但該公司仍維持利潤率預期,令投資者失望。 這家串流媒體巨頭週四晚間公佈的第一季營收高於華爾街預期。該公司維持全年營收預期在507億美元至517億美元之間,營業利潤率預期為31.5%。 FactSet調查的市場普遍預期是,Netflix 2026年的營收將達到513.3億美元。 今年2月,Netflix放棄了收購華納兄弟的計劃,轉而將收購權交給了派拉蒙天空之舞娛樂公司(Paramount Skydance,簡稱PSKY)。莫菲特納森高級研究分析師羅伯特·菲什曼(Robert Fishman)寫道,上個季度,該公司指出今年的併購支出為2.75億美元,大多數人認為這筆費用完全歸因於當時正在進行的華納兄弟收購案。 菲什曼表示,儘管計入了對人工智慧電影製作技術公司InterPositive的收購以及提前支付的華納兄弟交易成本,但併購總支出基本上保持不變。 Netflix財務長史賓塞諾伊曼在周四的財報電話會議上也發表了類似言論。 Netflix於今年3月收購了InterPositive。 包括瑞銀證券在內的一些華爾街人士先前預期,由於提價早於預期,Netflix的營收預期將會上調。但菲什曼表示,利潤率預期不變比Netflix重申營收預期更令人意外。 Netflix股價在周五的交易中暴跌近10%。 該公司在3月宣布了其所有美國套餐的價格調整,包括新增每月8.99美元的廣告支援標準訂閱套餐。 莫菲特納森表示,Netflix的長期發展軌跡依然穩固。 「當然,2026 年業績指引沒有上調,可能讓一些人對近期利潤率預期過高;然而,2026 年費用基數中的併購成本只會讓明年的業績更容易與去年進行比較,」菲什曼寫道。
