'Priced for Explosive Growth': Netflix Stock (NASDAQ:NFLX) Gains Despite Growth Concerns
Streaming giant Netflix (NFLX) may be about to be a victim of its own success. While it has certainly delivered the kind of numbers that make a four-figure-per-share price tag look almost reasonable, there are mounting concerns that Netflix simply cannot keep that kind of growth going forever. Regardless, shareholders are on board, and shares were up over 1.5% in the closing minutes of Monday's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off!

Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Basically, Netflix is doing great right now. It has already raised its guidance once, and that modified guidance looks like it will ultimately happen. Netflix is on track to pull in $13.5 billion in operating income for the year in 2025, and that blows its nearest competitor Disney (DIS) out of the water by better than 10-to-one. However, there is a potentially fatal flaw lurking here. Netflix stock is priced like Netflix will see explosive growth, running somewhere in the neighborhood of 44 times projected earnings. Granted, Netflix has ambitious internal goals, including hitting the $1 trillion market cap point by 2030. And while Netflix hopes to double its ad business this year, there are still plenty of ways these ambitious targets may falter. And as earlier assessments from about three weeks ago made clear: any disappointment would be a risk. Growth Fodder But Netflix is not resting idle. Growth requires new properties, and new fodder. Indeed, Netflix is poised to take a bit of a risk, hoping that lightning will strike twice in the video game adaptation field. Netflix had a winner with The Witcher, and looks to follow that up with an Assassin's Creed series next. The series is poised to give us '…power and violence and sex and greed and vengeance,' which suggests it will find brisk viewership for at least a couple of episodes. Further, Netflix will also be bringing in, or bringing back, a slew of reality series shows as well. Harry Jowsey's search for love will come to a head with Let's Marry Harry, and Simon Cowell: The Next Act will give us the snarky American Idol judge in his element: creating a boy band from scratch. Further on tap is just about everything from young chefs to bodybuilders and well beyond, so chances are, finding something to watch on Netflix should be just a few remote button presses away. Is Netflix Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on NFLX stock based on 26 Buys and 10 Holds assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 86.76% rally in its share price over the past year, the average NFLX price target of $1,413 per share implies 14.52% downside risk.

Buying IMAX might be the best way to invest in the movie industry, Jim Cramer says
CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday explained why he thinks IMAX has momentum and is a more promising company than others in the movie theater business. "At a time when the movie studios and the movie theaters are struggling, IMAX has tremendous momentum because it's proven to be the best way to sell tickets," he said. "If you're at all inclined to invest in the movie industry, IMAX seems like your best bet." Cramer explained that IMAX's business model is different from many of its peers. Instead of operating its own theaters, the company sells or leases its theater systems to operators like AMC or Regal. IMAX also earns money from ongoing maintenance services. Cramer suggested movie theaters are eager to spend money on IMAX so they can charge moviegoers a premium for those tickets. IMAX beat the estimates when it posted earnings in April, and CEO Richard Gelfond said on the call that it was "our best first quarter ever," raking in more than $300 million in global box office revenue. He said the company signed agreements for over 100 new and upgraded systems year-to-date, compared with 130 in all of 2024. Management also reaffirmed that it's on track to make $1.2 billion in box office receipts this year — which would be a record for the company. Cramer said he was encouraged by IMAX's growing presence abroad, especially in China. Local language films account for more and more of the outfit's business. In 2019, the category comprised 12% of the total global box office and has grown to 68% by 2025, management said. IMAX has also been involved in lucrative domestic films — its theaters delivered 20% of the domestic opening of "Sinners," Gelfond said in April. Cramer pointed out that there are several major films designed specifically for IMAX, including "Mission Impossible — The Final Reckoning," as well as the upcoming installment in the "Avatar" series. The company doesn't seem worried about competition from streamers, Cramer suggested, noting that it has chosen to partner with major players in the field. Netflix's new "Narnia" film will first be released exclusively on IMAX screens, he said. IMAX partnered with Apple for "F1: The Movie," which has become the streamer's highest-grossing theatrical film ever. IMAX is also working on sports content and has produced its own documentaries, Cramer added. Wall Street's expectations are high for IMAX's next quarterly report, which is set to be released later this month, Cramer said. Although he said the stock is "not exactly cheap," the company's growth potential could justify buying some shares now. "So, if you don't have a position in IMAX already but want to, maybe put on a small position before the quarter," he said. "Please wait to see how the report goes. Maybe the stock will pull back and you can buy at a discount." IMAX did not immediately respond to request for comment.

IMAX Earns 5 Buy Ratings as Analysts Back $1.2 Billion Forecast
IMAX (IMAX) is riding a wave of momentum in the premium cinema space, with fresh analyst confidence and solid growth indicators pointing toward a strong finish to 2025 and an even more promising 2026. The company is forecasting $1.2 billion in global box office revenue this year, up 33% from 2024, which would mark the highest annual haul in its 55-year history. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. The drivers behind IMAX's momentum surge consist of a mix of premium content partnerships, expanding market share, and a shift in consumer behavior toward immersive experiences. IMAX screens accounted for over 20% of global ticket sales for Apple's (AAPL) 'F1: The Movie,' which grossed nearly $300 million in its first 10 days. In the U.S. and Canada, IMAX theaters delivered 25% of the total domestic box office for the film, even though IMAX makes up less than 1% of screens globally. Shares closed at $26.93, up nearly 60% over the past 12 months. The stock remains just shy of its $29.66 high, suggesting room for additional upside if the momentum continues. IMAX also has plans to grow its footprint, with 1,700 screens in operation and contracts in place for 500 more. Wall Street Doesn't Ignore IMAX's Success The company's strong showing hasn't been limited to one title. Warner Bros. (WBD) 'Sinners' and Paramount's (PARA) 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' also posted similar screen share wins for IMAX this year. Wall Street isn't ignoring this trend, either. Over the past week, five analysts reiterated Buy ratings on IMAX, with price targets ranging from $30 to $36. Five-star analyst Eric Handler of Roth MKM set the high end at $36, suggesting 33.7% upside from current levels. Another five-star analyst, Alicia Reese of Wedbush, bumped her target from $32 to $34, citing strength in IMAX's filmed-for-IMAX slate and upcoming releases. Omar Mejias at Wells Fargo maintained his Buy rating with a $30 target, pointing to solid market share gains and a strong Q4 pipeline. There is a note of caution, though. Insider sentiment has turned negative, with CEO Richard Gelfond selling $2.71 million worth of shares in May. Still, with strong demand, solid film performance, and analyst support, IMAX is drawing attention as a premium play in the theatrical comeback story. Is IMAX a good stock to buy? The bullish sentiment remains when we examine IMAX's analysts' forecast, with a Strong Buy consensus rating. The average IMAX stock price target is $32.60, implying a 21.05% upside.
