Netflix (NFLX) PT Bumped to $95 at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey

SunTrust Robinson Humphrey analyst Robert Peck reiterated a Neutral rating and boosted his price target on Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) to $95.00 (from $90.00).

Peck commented, "Subscriber adds were handily above consensus (2Q actuals and 3Q guided) both Int’l and Domestic. Thus consensus topline forecast should lift and the stock was up ~10% after-hours. However, FCF missed (-$229m vs -$66m) and commentary around out-year cash flow and Int’l profitability was more cautious; thus we expect consensus profit and cash flow forecast to come down. Further, customer acquisition cost (CAC) increased at an accelerating rate for the 4th consecutive quarter."

The firm's 2015/2016 revenue forecast increases by 1%/3% on higher subs and they raise 2015 EBITDA/EPS to $479m/$0.43 from $405m/$0.32 on better 2Q results and 3Q guidance. However, they lower 2016 to $544m/$0.48 from $619m/$0.58 due to more tepid commentary around Int’l profitability.
