Despite being in the red so far in the current trading session, Netflix peaked above its 3 day Simple Moving Average around $392.3 -- typically an early indicator of a new bullish trend beginning to emerge. Bollinger Bands® shows an indication of recovery: the lower band is at $374.19, a low enough level to, generally, suggest that Netflix is trading below its fair value. Netflix could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now $4.4 away from $379.75. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead.
Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape, although technical indicators are mixed and pointing in different directions, it seems Netflix is set to appreciate despite today's setback.
Though some indicators look better than others in comparison to previous reports, Netflix's overall fundamentals remain slightly under the industry average.
When analyzing Netflix's indicators the one that stands out as most significant is the company's return on equity (ROE) with a solid 20%. Even though it is now below its trailing twelve-month average of 23%, it is still satisfactory and well above the competition. ROE is a measure of financial performance calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity. This ratio gives investors an idea of how well the company handles its shareholders' money. Price to earnings ratio has improved from 593.66 to 41.8, but remains below the industry average.
