Their main competition besides the cable companies are Hulu and Amazon as they both produce original content and have other shows to stream. Each have their own perks and draw backs, but it is important to continue publishing original content as that seems to be the difference maker right now. Price competition is certainly an issue, but right now it seems everyone is right around the eight dollar market, giving everyone an equal playing field in that respect.
The stock price has increased and continued to grow, providing healthy returns for early investors. Looking forward, the company is a prime spot to reap the benefits of how the market is changing. If you look at the macro, we can see that people are going wireless and wanting to watch shows on their own time, which Netflix satisfies. Again, it will boil down to the content that is pumped out on this medium because people have options and that can prove to have an adverse affect on the company. Overall, the direction of the market should benefit the company but watch out for future problems.

financial statements are the reports that show the
financial position of the company. There are three main documents that fall into the category of financial statements. These documents include Netflix income statement, its balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows. Potential Netflix investors and stakeholders use financial statements to determine how well the company is positioned to perform in the future. Although Netflix investors may use each financial statement separately, they are all related.

Cash flows can provide more information regarding cash listed on a balance sheet, but not equivalent to net income shown on the income statement. Please read more on our

An Additional Perspective On Netflix
Some of the risks to keep in mind when looking at Netflix is the ability to pump out original content. As we all know, people were excited for shows such as Fuller House, and they have to continue this to have people maintain their interest in the company. Another risk to keep in mind is competition, and with Amazon being a main competitor, it certainly could prove difficult later in the future. How to monitor this is look at quarterly reports for both companies and compare the numbers and growth.
To conclude, this company is on the right track and in the right market as this is where people are heading. It will take some time before cable companies begin panicking and falling off because so few people have their products. Taking a full macro view, everything looks well but you still have to keep a lookout for the companies coming up and competing. Not only that, there are companies such as Sling TV that live stream television channels, which is another way cable companies can stay relevant.
