Boston, MA 01/01/2014 (wallstreetpr) – After ushering in 2014 in pomp and color, it is also better to take a closer look at the much-talked about stocks such as Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX). In 2013, the company didn’t disappoint its investors, but the question is whether the company can continue to outperform the market in 2014.
Throughout 2013, Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) won prestigious awards such as the Emmy awards and the company was also seen strengthening its position domestically and internationally. The company is entering 2014 with more than 40 million global subscribers and there seems to be even numerous opportunities for the company to expand in this segment.
Analysts are predicting that there will be more benefits for Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) as its international market matures. However, the company will have to be part of this drive to quick-maturity.
Original content
Developing original content has worked well for Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX). The company needs to continue this trend in 2014 so that it can attract a bigger fan-base. It should be recalled that the company made history for its Emmy awards win in the category of Internet-delivered series due in large part to its offering of original content.
Also, offering original content paves that way for the company to make future price increases on its services as customers would be more willing to pay for the value they receive.
Global expansion
Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) started as a strictly U.S. based company, however, it has been trying to gain strong foothold in the global market. There is no doubt that the international market is going to turn into an important asset for the company in future.
It thus seems rational that the company is foregoing profits now so that it can realize bigger returns in 2014 going forward. The company has boosted its international customer numbers by more than 229 percent between 2011 and 2012. The same growth is expected for 2012 to 2013 when the data is finally released.
Conclusion
Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) has signed a deal with The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) and this deal is expected to widen its original content offering. With this deal, it is easy to see that the company’s future is bright.
However, even amid these promising opportunities, it is still important for prospecting investors in Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) to continue tracking the company’s every step in 2014.
