The reason $ 1 to continue to buy Netflix, one of the most fashionable titles of S & P

Netflix loyalists were hit hard this week, as the video presenter's "Roma" won many Hollywood Oscars.

Although this critic's favorite did not get the best picture, some say it's only a matter of time before the very present company takes this prize and goes into a secular industry. .

Investors, however, did not have much to complain about Netflix's eagerly awaited actions

up 32% since the beginning of the year and the second best gain on the S & P 500, just behind GE

. Certainly, some have altitude sickness, given the upward trajectory of this market, and the dizzying performance of companies like Netflix.

But wipe the sweat off your forehead. Our call of the day Michael Olson and Yung Kim, scientific analysts at Piper Jaffray, offer a $ 1 reason to keep believing and buying the streaming giant.

You may remember that earlier this year, the company announced a 13% to 15% increase in the price of its subscriptions for 58 million US subscribers, bringing the cost of its most popular package to $ 11. , against $ 11 previously.

Piper interviewed 1,100 international subscribers at Netflix and discovered that 50% of them would be willing to pay more than $ 1 a month for this service. "A $ 1 / month increase in international ASP (average selling price) would have a significant effect on our estimates for 2020, all things being equal," they said.

By comparing the figures, they estimate that this increase could represent a 40% increase in share capital to more than $ 500, even if only half of the increase in earnings per share had been achieved. They reiterated an overweight note and a price target of $ 440. (By the way, they also think that the remaining 50% who said they would not pay more, would probably end up paying if things go bad.)

Lily: When investors make mistakes, this manager leaps and realizes profits.

Netflix shares closed at $ 363.91 on Monday. It is clear that there is still some way to go if Piper's target is accurate. Of course, some fear that this will take a gamble, knowing that competitors like Hulu have reacted rather quickly by reducing prices. Analysts said they expect more and more negative reactions from US subscribers, whose numbers have increased in the most recent quarter, although this occurred before the announcement of higher prices. .

Table

"Little or no benefit." It's a bit discouraged, but that's what Barry Bannister's strategist Stifel broker Nicolaus thinks about the S & P 500 right now. Our table of the day comes from a lot that he sent to customers exposing this case.

As Bannister explains, the S & P can not go much higher because the earnings service will not bring it much help – the price / earnings ratio of companies is limited by positive real rates and profits slow down sharply.

"The real fed funds [rate] 0.6%, which implies an S & P 500 at the end, p / e over 12 months [ratio] 17 times, "he said, adding that the 2019 EPS rose to US $ 162 plus 5% year-over-year, against forecasts of about $ 167 on Wall Street. All of this together, he says, the S & P 500 seems to cost about 2750 euros, which equals 17 times its EPS forecast of 162 dollars for this year.

Admittedly, the S & P 500 is struggling to reach a key resistance level of 2,800, which it reached for the first time since early November Monday, but was hit.
