The Good, The Bad, and the Unknown at Netflix

The podcast analyzes Netflix's recent earnings report and its strategic shift towards acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery. Despite positive Q4 revenue growth of 18% and a subscriber milestone of 325 million, concerns arise from projected slower revenue growth in 2026 and increased debt due to the all-cash offer for Warner Bros. Discovery, valued at $83 billion including debt. The speakers debate whether Netflix's transition from a high-growth company to a mature business justifies its current valuation, considering competition from platforms like YouTube. The potential benefits of acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery's content library, including the possibility of tiered pricing, are weighed against the financial implications of increased debt and regulatory risks.
