Jefferies assumes coverage on Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) with a Hold. PT $65.00 (from $115.00).

Jefferies analyst said, "Rapidly evolving from its DVD-by-mail roots, Netflix is now making a global push to pioneer Internet television as online video consumption continues to soar. But we see downside risk to our estimates as we think Netflix intends to reinvest substantially all near- to medium-term profits to expand into new countries. Meanwhile, content costs and competition are both on the rise."

Raising current year EPS from (0.24) to $0.01, but lowers next year from $1.03 to $0.43.
