Netflix(NFLX, $297.35) gets rating downgrade, warning on subscriber loss from Needham & Company
Netflix Inc. shares fell Tuesday, after analysts at Needham & Company lowered their rating on the stock.
Needham analyst Laura Martin cut her rating on the video streaming company’s shares to "underperform", from "hold". Martin indicated that heated competition in the online streaming industry could cause Netflix to lose as many as 4 million of its 60.6 million U.S. subscribers next year in its premium pricing tier of between $9 and $16 per month.
According to Martin, Netflix would likely have to offer lower-priced options, alongside its premium tier, in order to compete better with other streaming platforms like those from Walt Disney Co, Viacom, Comcast and Apple - all of which offer a net price bracket of between $5 and $7 per month.
