Netflix trading up 20% on a solid earnings beat and guide - Analyst Summary


Netflix is positive on the year now after dropping earlier in the 1st quarter of 2016.

Here are some the analyst upgrades so far pre market:

Netflix price target raised to $138 from $122 at Piper Jaffray 

Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Olson raised his price target for Netflix to $138 saying is "back on track" with its Q3 earnings report. Both domestic and international subscriptions came in above consensus, Olson tells investors in a post-earnings research note. He expects the earnings report to alleviate some concerns around a spike in churn last quarter from the un-grandfathering of the price increase. The analyst keeps an Overweight rating on Netflix.
