Boston, MA 10/09/2013 (wallstreetpr) – The value of Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) has dropped by 5.1% and it is currently valued at $302. Netflix was one of the biggest gainers on this year as its price kept rising at a phenomenal rate. Ever since January, the rise in stock has been striking and is estimated to be 226.54%. Some financial advisors have indicated that the recent slump in performance of the company may be because of the political uncertainty that is currently present in Washington.
The fears are arising because there is an ongoing speculation that the government will default on its outstanding debts if the debt ceiling is not raised by October 17, 2013. This is an extremely tricky period for investors as Real Money contributor James stated in his analysis report that it is extremely likely that a lot of the stocks from top companies will shoot back alarmingly once the Washington deal materializes in the right direction.
The Street Ratings team have given Netflix a rating score of C and categorized it as”hold”. When they were asked regarding the logic behind their rating, they told that there are a lot of different factors that impacted their decision. There are both symbols that indicate strength and weakness and there wasn’t much of evidence that pinpointed a single side where this company is heading. The revenue growth of the company along with the increasing profit margins that Netflix is experiencing is indicating at the strength of this firm. However, dismal return in equity and even the higher debt management risk is the cause of potential problems as well.
Hence, all the parameters were taken into consideration before the stock was considered as Hold. No doubt, it is the Washington deal that will define the direction in which the company will head and the investors are sure to currently stress over the decline in the growth of these big firms.
