  • Netflix Stock Appears Undervalued After 42% Drop, Supported by Cash Flow and Earnings
    June 22, 2026, 9:40 PM EDT. Netflix shares closed at $72.89, down 41.9% over the past year despite gains earlier. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis, which values stocks based on projected future cash flows discounted to present value, places Netflix's intrinsic value at $95.10 per share. This indicates the stock trades at a 23.4% discount, suggesting undervaluation. Netflix's strong free cash flow forecast, rising from $12 billion currently to $22.7 billion by 2030, supports this view. Investor sentiment wavers amid intense streaming competition and heavy content investment. The Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio, linking stock price to current earnings, also provides valuation insights, but the DCF model highlights Netflix's potential value for long-term investors amid recent price weakness.
