NFLX: Future Performance Will Balance Warner Bid Risks And New Revenue Streams

Analysts have modestly reduced their Netflix price target to reflect a lower fair value estimate of about $86.94, driven by slightly slower expected revenue growth and a lower future P/E multiple. These factors are only partly offset by improved long term margin assumptions and a largely stock split adjusted framework.

TTWO: Rising Engagement And Scarcity Value Will Drive Shares Higher

Analysts have nudged their blended price target on Take-Two Interactive slightly higher to about $277 from roughly $277 previously, reflecting increased confidence in margin expansion and long term earnings power from a revitalized NBA 2K franchise, improving mobile trends, and the sizable step up anticipated around the GTA 6 launch, despite at least one recent downgrade to Neutral. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research paints a broadly constructive picture on Take-Two, with upbeat calls on engagement trends and long term earnings potential tempered by some valuation and execution concerns.

Analyst Commentary Bullish Takeaways Bullish analysts view the higher price target as justified by a stronger long term growth runway for Formula One Group, supported by expanding media rights and sponsorship opportunities.
