Gabelli maintains a 'Hold' on Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX).

Gabelli analyst, said, "We see three key risks: 1) increased competition from advanced TV products provided by traditional MVPDs (Comcast xfinity, HBO GO) and other internet video providers (Hulu & You Tube) 2) rising expenses from content costs and 3) challenges replicating its US streaming business in international markets without the benefit of an incumbent by-mail business. Given these risks, we do not see a sufficient margin of safety to buy shares."

"We estimate Netflix will generate 2012 revenue, EBITDA and EPS of $3.7 billion, $75 million, and $0.05 per share, respectively."
