Needham & Company maintains an 'Underperform' on Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX).

Needham analyst says, "Netflix reported second quarter results that beat on the earnings line and matched estimates on the revenue line. But it apparently was not good enough because the stock tumbled almost 10% in after-hours trading. We believe the third quarter could pose some risks because of Netflix’s recent increase in pricing. Management’s third quarter guidance, however, reflected a relatively benign impact on subscriber additions from the price rise. We remain at an underperform rating, are raising our 2011 estimate from $4.40 to $4.90 and maintaining our 2012 estimate at $6.90."
