What matters now
- A high-quality business (quality 87/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
- The model range is unusually wide ($36.69 to $105.58). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis
Netflix Inc (NFLX) currently trades at $78.25, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $49.35, implying the stock looks roughly 58.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 87/100 (high quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $94.26 per share, and 8 of the 24 models we run sit above the $78.25 price. Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at $33.18, and 16 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, Netflix Inc generated revenue of $46.9B at a net margin of 28.5%. Revenue grew 16.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 48.5%. Net debt stands at $5.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 30, 2026
Scenario range: $36.69 (bear) to $105.58 (bull), the price of $78.25 sits inside it. Bear and bull are the same models on cautious and optimistic assumptions, a range, not a price target. The share trades about 42% below its 52-week high and 4% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at −51% fair-value upside, at −37%, NFLX screens cheaper than that median.

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 82 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 21
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
