exchange hunts for new users and sales amid downturnBusiness recently cut more than 1,000 staff in clampdownCoinbase Global Inc. is turning abroad to fuel growth in new users and revenue, reviving an international push after laying off more than 1,000 of its predominantly US workforce.The San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange is focused on building up its presence in Europe and is in the process of registering in markets including Italy, Spain, France and the Netherlands, Nana Murugesan, Coinbase’s vice president of business development and international, said in an interview from London.Already registered in the UK, Ireland and Germany, the company recently hired its first employee in Switzerland, he added.“In all these markets our intention is to have retail and institutional products,” Murugesan said. “It’s almost like an existential priority for us to make sure that we are able to realize our mission by accelerating our expansion efforts.”Murugesan said the company is open to acquisitions that will accelerate its overseas expansion, especially with valuations plunging across the sector. The current crisis has wiped about $2 trillion from the total crypto market, pushing several companies toward insolvency.While Coinbase cut 18% of its global staff in June, those cuts were focused on the US and amounted to just 7% in the company’s primary European offices of London and Dublin. Rivals including Gemini Trust, BlockFi Inc. and Crypto.com also announced cuts this month.Shares in Coinbase have slumped almost 20% this week after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. downgraded the firm’s stock to a sell rating, predicting that Coinbase’s revenue could drop dramatically in the second half of this year.Coinbase previously made a concerted push overseas in 2015, also a difficult time for crypto markets. Murugesan said the goal is eventually for the company’s international segment to dominate its business.“It should be significant -- majority probably -- of our business,” he said. “This is what our goal would be, but exactly when do we get there, all of that, there’s a lot of dependencies.”","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"COIN":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2630,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9056691846,"gmtCreate":1655000692685,"gmtModify":1676535545782,"author":{"id":"4096191077795500","authorId":"4096191077795500","name":"MerlionSg","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9bcb891c82852e924606d5fe915c404b","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096191077795500","authorIdStr":"4096191077795500"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"110, invest 20 shares =2200, treat this amt as donation if such mega stock can collapse..ha ha","listText":"110, invest 20 shares =2200, treat this amt as donation if such mega stock can collapse..ha ha","text":"110, invest 20 shares =2200, treat this amt as donation if such mega stock can collapse..ha ha","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9056691846","repostId":"2242581596","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2242581596","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1654999609,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2242581596?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-12 10:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Amazon a Buy After Its Stock Split?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2242581596","media":"Seekingalpha","summary":"Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) conducted a stock split earlier this month to make its shares more attractive t","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) conducted a stock split earlier this month to make its shares more attractive to retail investors. Despite a short-term pop as the split went into effect, the e-commerce giant has drifted back down towards its 52-week low in recent days. </p><p>Worries about inflation and the health of the economy have weighed on AMZN, as well as ongoing tension over unionization. Given this environment, has the stock fallen far enough to become a buy?</p><h2><b>After the Split</b></h2><p>On June 6, Amazon (AMZN) put a 20-for-1 stock split into effect. The process effectively cut the firm&#39;s share price to 1/20th of its previous level -- making AMZN affordable to a new cohort of shareholders.</p><p>The move to make the stock accessible to more retail investors initially had the desired effect. The stock rose 2% on June 6, its seventh gain in the previous eight sessions. Shares also recorded their highest finish in more than a month.</p><p>These gains were short-lived, however. Deteriorating market sentiment has put pressure on AMZN, amid rising fears about inflation and the prospect that increasing interest rates will eventually trigger a recession.</p><p>In intraday trading on Friday, shares have fallen more than 5%. This marked the fourth consecutive day of declines, including a 4% slide during the previous session. All told, shares have dropped nearly 12% since the day after the stock split.</p><p>AMZN now trades at about $110 per share, still off a 52-week low of $101.26 reached last month. This remains a far cry from the 52-week high of $188.65 reached last summer, as the company benefited from pandemic-induced demand for online shopping.</p><p>Shares have now fallen about 42% from that peak.</p><h2><b>Is AMZN a Buy?</b></h2><p>Even with the declines in 2022, the sentiment on Wall Street remains overwhelmingly positive towards Amazon (AMZN). Of the 52 analysts surveyed by Seeking Alpha, only three have less than a Buy rating on the stock.</p><p>All told, 36 analysts have a Strong Buy opinion, while another 13 have issued a Buy recommendation -- meaning 94% of market experts have a bullish view of the stock.

Despite a short-term pop as the split went into effect, the e-commerce giant has drifted back down towards its 52-week low in recent days. Worries about inflation and the health of the economy have weighed on AMZN, as well as ongoing tension over unionization. Given this environment, has the stock fallen far enough to become a buy?After the SplitOn June 6, Amazon (AMZN) put a 20-for-1 stock split into effect. The process effectively cut the firm's share price to 1/20th of its previous level -- making AMZN affordable to a new cohort of shareholders.The move to make the stock accessible to more retail investors initially had the desired effect. The stock rose 2% on June 6, its seventh gain in the previous eight sessions. Shares also recorded their highest finish in more than a month.These gains were short-lived, however. Deteriorating market sentiment has put pressure on AMZN, amid rising fears about inflation and the prospect that increasing interest rates will eventually trigger a recession.In intraday trading on Friday, shares have fallen more than 5%. This marked the fourth consecutive day of declines, including a 4% slide during the previous session. All told, shares have dropped nearly 12% since the day after the stock split.AMZN now trades at about $110 per share, still off a 52-week low of $101.26 reached last month. This remains a far cry from the 52-week high of $188.65 reached last summer, as the company benefited from pandemic-induced demand for online shopping.Shares have now fallen about 42% from that peak.Is AMZN a Buy?Even with the declines in 2022, the sentiment on Wall Street remains overwhelmingly positive towards Amazon (AMZN). Of the 52 analysts surveyed by Seeking Alpha, only three have less than a Buy rating on the stock.All told, 36 analysts have a Strong Buy opinion, while another 13 have issued a Buy recommendation -- meaning 94% of market experts have a bullish view of the stock. There is also one Hold rating, one Sell opinion and one Strong Sell recommendation.Quantitative measures have a more cautious view of the stock. Overall, Seeking Alpha's Quant Ratings view AMZN as a Hold.The online retailer gets high marks for profitability and growth, with an A+ and B+ in those categories, respectively. However, the Quant Ratings give the stock a C for momentum and an F for valuation.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AMZN":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2527,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9058168118,"gmtCreate":1654816359134,"gmtModify":1676535513930,"author":{"id":"4096191077795500","authorId":"4096191077795500","name":"MerlionSg","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9bcb891c82852e924606d5fe915c404b","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096191077795500","authorIdStr":"4096191077795500"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"roller coaster..is it fun? ha ha","listText":"roller coaster..is it fun? ha ha","text":"roller coaster..is it fun? ha ha","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9058168118","repostId":"2242631833","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2242631833","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1654816038,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2242631833?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-10 07:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall St Drops as Investor Jitters Climb before CPI Data Friday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2242631833","media":"Reuters","summary":"* 10-Year Treasury yields rise* Apple, Amazon biggest weights on S&P 500* Indexes: Dow down 1.9%, S&","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* 10-Year Treasury yields rise</p><p>* Apple, Amazon biggest weights on S&amp;P 500</p><p>* Indexes: Dow down 1.9%, S&amp;P 500 down 2.4%, Nasdaq down 2.8%</p><p>U.S. stocks sold off sharply Thursday as investor anxiety heightened ahead of data on Friday that is expected to show consumer prices remained elevated in May.</p><p>Selling picked up toward the end of the session.

The S&P 500 is down 15.7% for the year so far and the Nasdaq is down about 25%.Higher-than-expected inflation readings could increase fears that the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest rates more aggressively than previously expected.The central bank has raised its short-term interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point this year and intends to keep at it with 50 basis points increases at its meeting next week and again in July.Alibaba Group    shares slid 8.1% after its affiliate Ant Group said it has no plan to initiate an initial public offering.Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 5.51-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.79-to-1 ratio favored decliners.The S&P 500 posted one new 52-week high and 31 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 18 new highs and 127 new lows.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 11.50 billion shares, compared with the 12.07 billion-share average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"161125":0.6,"513500":0.6,"ESmain":0.6,"PSQ":0.6,"QID":0.6,"AMZN":0.69,"OEX":0.6,"SDOW":0.6,"SQQQ":0.6,"DXD":0.6,"DOG":0.6,"SSO":0.6,"CPI":1,"SPY":0.9,"NQmain":0.6,"IVV":0.6,"QLD":0.6,".DJI":0.9,"DJX":0.6,".IXIC":0.9,"MNQmain":0.6,"SPXU":0.6,"QQQ":0.6,"TQQQ":0.6,"OEF":0.6,"SH":0.6,"UDOW":0.6,"SDS":0.6,".SPX":0.9,"DDM":0.6}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2849,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9024369189,"gmtCreate":1653800936441,"gmtModify":1676535344102,"author":{"id":"4096191077795500","authorId":"4096191077795500","name":"MerlionSg","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9bcb891c82852e924606d5fe915c404b","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096191077795500","authorIdStr":"4096191077795500"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"all in.... just kidding","listText":"all in.... just kidding","text":"all in.... just kidding","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9024369189","repostId":"2238501379","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2238501379","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1653786649,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2238501379?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-29 09:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Apple an Excellent Dividend Stock to Buy?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2238501379","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The company does not have a long history of payouts, but it has the qualities of an excellent dividend stock.","content":"<div>\n<p>Apple is one of the world's best-known companies.

But one of the characteristics it is least known for is its dividend payment. The company is relatively new to the dividend-paying list of stocks and is far from reaching Dividend King status. The tech giant resumed paying a dividend in 2012 after a 17-year pause.Still, Apple could be an excellent dividend stock for investors who buy it today. Let's look at its capacity to pay dividends and consider its valuation to determine its virtues as a dividend stock.Apple has delivered robust dividend growthIncome investors can be encouraged by Apple's acceleration of dividend payments. From 2012 to 2021, the company has increased its dividend per share from $0.10 to $0.85. That means shareholders saw their dividends grow more than eightfold in that time.In that same period, earnings per share rose from $1.58 to $5.61. Earnings are crucial to sustaining a dividend payment. In that regard, Apple's quality earnings growth is a good sign for the prospects of dividend increases.Its earnings are buoyed by continued innovation in its products, like the iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, and iPads. Supplementing that is a robust and expanding services segment that totaled 20% of revenue in its most recent quarter, which ended March 26. The rise of the services segment is crucial because it generated a gross profit margin of 72.6% vs. a gross profit margin of 36.4% for its products.AAPL payout ratio data by YCharts.While Apple's current dividend yield is a modest 0.65%, there's plenty of room for it to grow when you consider the company's dividend payout ratio. This is the percentage of earnings paid out in dividends. Most recently, Apple's dividend payout ratio was 14.5%, so the company could sustainably increase its dividend payment even if earnings remained constant, or sustain its current dividend even if profits decrease. The lower the percentage, the more wiggle room a company has in its dividend payment.Apple's stock is not expensiveComparing Apple's price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-free-cash-flow (P/FCF) ratios to their historic levels reveals that it is valued slightly above the average for those ratios over the past five years. In other words, in the last five years, there were times when Apple was pricier and times when it was cheaper.AAPL P/E ratio data by YCharts.Another way to measure valuation is a comparison with a competitor. Using the same metrics, Apple sells at a discount vs. one of its rivals, Microsoft (MSFT 2.76%). Of course, it is not an apples-to-apples comparison (pardon the pun), but Microsoft is a big tech stock with a mix of hardware and software revenue.Accordingly, income investors who buy Apple stock today will probably thank themselves 10 years from now. To more directly answer the question in the headline, yes, Apple is an excellent dividend stock to buy.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1774,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9025013393,"gmtCreate":1653605902412,"gmtModify":1676535310629,"author":{"id":"4096191077795500","authorId":"4096191077795500","name":"MerlionSg","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9bcb891c82852e924606d5fe915c404b","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096191077795500","authorIdStr":"4096191077795500"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"can see a bit of sunlight now&nbsp;[Grin]&nbsp;","listText":"can see a bit of sunlight now&nbsp;[Grin]&nbsp;","text":"can see a bit of sunlight now [Grin]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9025013393","repostId":"2238007654","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2657,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9022407674,"gmtCreate":1653563092898,"gmtModify":1676535304299,"author":{"id":"4096191077795500","authorId":"4096191077795500","name":"MerlionSg","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9bcb891c82852e924606d5fe915c404b","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096191077795500","authorIdStr":"4096191077795500"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"waiting fr value&nbsp;around 130 to invest","listText":"waiting fr value&nbsp;around 130 to invest","text":"waiting fr value around 130 to invest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9022407674","repostId":"2238318565","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1845,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9022973637,"gmtCreate":1653465278529,"gmtModify":1676535287401,"author":{"id":"4096191077795500","authorId":"4096191077795500","name":"MerlionSg","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9bcb891c82852e924606d5fe915c404b","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096191077795500","authorIdStr":"4096191077795500"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ha ha gambling","listText":"ha ha gambling","text":"ha ha gambling","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9022973637","repostId":"1185178909","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2560,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9029287134,"gmtCreate":1652787840028,"gmtModify":1676535161246,"author":{"id":"4096191077795500","authorId":"4096191077795500","name":"MerlionSg","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9bcb891c82852e924606d5fe915c404b","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096191077795500","authorIdStr":"4096191077795500"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"hah","listText":"hah","text":"hah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9029287134","repostId":"2236212001","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2236212001","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1652785520,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2236212001?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-17 19:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix: A Series Of Red Flags","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2236212001","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Overview(Source: Google)After Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) reported its Q1’22 results, the share price tumb","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Overview</h2><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/5/10/saupload_fsCLTHKVDI04imUamEwp5f2aYtPoJKtSfK8jQ3EYdONi9f8fMjYfsgVh6P9zF1NaGTDljs9if5JhrVI7kOAjvF_V7LIVZnfYxY6KnI07cu_fEsAWJJ7mCLaz0d3fAvBwo-luaxzlGOMOkKKzsA_thumb1.png\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"979\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>(Source: Google)</p><p>After Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) reported its Q1’22 results, the share price tumbled 37%. You might ask, what exactly had happened to warrant such pessimism and drastic drawdown?</p><p>Well, you’ve come to the right place. Here&#39;s what we are going to be covering today in this article.</p><h2>Headwinds: Economies Reopening and Competition Intensifying</h2><p>2020 and 2021 were massive years for Netflix as there was an acceleration in the adoption of digital streaming services. However, as the pandemic severity starts to wind down, and people start to spend more time outside, the elevated demand will be reduced to more normalized levels.</p><p>Competition in the industry is also heating up with the influx of streaming services such as Disney+, Hulu, Apple TV+, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime.</p><p>This means that users today are spoilt for choice. Companies that fall short of consumers’ expectations, such as the lack of quality content, will find it more challenging to retain these users. The ever-increasing inflation rate has also significantly reduced consumers’ purchasing power, and they are likely to stick with a few core services that are able to attend to their needs. Reports by The Guardian and iMore showed that Apple TV+ and Disney+ have seen huge churn while categorizing Amazon Prime and Netflix as “must-haves”.</p><p>However, this is not the time to be complacent just yet.</p><p>Companies like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) have a highly competitive edge over Netflix as they possess highly profitable core businesses financing their investments in curating more content. This puts pressure on Netflix&#39;s ability to invest and compete for the long-term while also focus on profitability at the same time.</p><h2>Growth Deceleration</h2><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/5/10/saupload_le5yZpvn0WLNHgDWstkN9_OnNUxsmhzxJcie2yKls1oVq1ooeh9PJfoes5P-R139BCx3dBk4ictumjsNmUMkn8EDzqOGQvyOniHfMl-mH2RVAh1r95d4-Xie60fPEICE75LOWjl-v4UV0yLg3g_thumb1.png\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"604\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>(Source: Netflix Investor Relations)</p><p></p><p>As soon as Netflix reported its Q1’22 quarterly results, all eyes were on its revenue growth and subscriber count. Subscribers are important as costs can be spread over a larger base, and that contributes to the bottom line.</p><p>However, the results were shocking, to say the least.</p><p>Instead of reporting 2.5 million new subscribers as guided in Q4’21, the company reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers, making it the first decline in a decade. As a result, the revenue grew at a disappointing single-digit rate of 9.8%, down from the double-digit growth they experienced in FY21. Investors ought to be horrified.</p><p>This is attributed to a few reasons:</p><ul><li><p>COVID tailwinds wearing off</p></li><li><p>Intensifying competition</p></li><li><p>The suspension of service in Russia resulted in the loss of subscribers</p></li><li><p>Factors like the adoption of Connected TVs &amp; on-demand entertainment, which is outside of its control</p></li><li><p>The inability to monetize the 100 million non-subscribers using Netflix’s password sharing</p></li></ul><p>To re-accelerate its double-digit revenue growth, here’s what the management has laid out to address investors’ concerns:</p><ol><li><p>To reinvest by coming up with more big-hit content that users want to see</p></li><li><p>To monetize on 100 million households using password sharing</p></li><li><p>Offer a low-priced plan with advertising</p></li></ol><p>However, we think that the strategies are questionable. Let us share our thoughts.</p><h3>Concern #1: Early Monetization</h3><p>The management claimed that there is a huge Total Addressable Market (“TAM”):</p><blockquote>...while hundreds of millions of homes pay for Netflix, well over half of the world’s broadband homes don’t yet, representing huge future growth potential.</blockquote><p>This sounds like they are confident that Netflix has a long runway to grow, and that the majority are to come from international markets. However, instead of reinvesting in the business, why are they focusing on monetizing?</p><p>This news came after Netflix announced that it was going to raise the subscription fees in various countries like the US, Canada, the UK, and even Singapore, where we reside. This highlights its inability to find additional income sources, so it had to resort to raising its prices. These increases were not well-received as customers were unhappy with the multiple price hikes and the crackdown on password sharing. During the Q1’22 results, the subscriber count in the UCAN and EMEA regions (the US and Canada) fell by 640,000 and 300,000, respectively.</p><p>Coincidence? We think not.</p><p>In our view, increasing prices should be a late-game monetization. This is especially so when Netflix is the market leader with a huge TAM. Eventually, it comes to a point where it is impossible to squeeze its customers without it being at the expense of their happiness.</p><h3>Concern #2: Diversifying Its Revenue Through Ad-Tier Plan</h3><p>Digital streaming services have been adopting a hybrid model of Advertising-based Video On Demand (“AVOD”) and Subscription Video On Demand (“SVOD”) as seen on platforms like Hulu, HBO Max, and most recently, Disney+.</p><p>But, what’s the appeal of a hybrid model?</p><p>It is about offering users more control and choices. Users that do not mind seeing ads or are price-sensitive tend to opt for an ad-tier plan, whereas users who prefer a seamless experience are willing to pay more for an ad-free plan. At the same time, the company can generate additional revenue from advertisers by leveraging their massive audiences.</p><p>This creates a win-win-win situation.</p><p>Operating under a pure SVOD model has limitations – there is a cap on how much it can continue to raise its prices before users get frustrated and leave. Prices are increased to cover the rising cost of creating content, and this makes it harder to juggle the balance of reinvesting in content while also offering it at affordable pricing.</p><p>Now, with Netflix jumping on the bandwagon, what does it really mean to its business?</p><p>Netflix is very likely to see existing subscribers churn and switch over from a higher-priced plan, cannibalizing their own subscribers. This in turn may affect revenue in the short term. Could this also be the way to win back price-sensitive customers? More churns will lead to lesser revenue, and less money to compete on content, putting pressure on Netflix to compete with players like Apple and Amazon with strong internal financing, and Disney with valuable franchises.</p><p>Strangely, this decision was made rather abruptly as back in March 2022 (a month ago), CFO Spencer Neumann resisted coming up with an ad-supported tier model as they didn’t feel it was necessary:</p><blockquote>But that&#39;s not something that&#39;s in our plans right now.

You might ask, what exactly had happened to warrant such pessimism and drastic drawdown?Well, you’ve come to the right place. Here's what we are going to be covering today in this article.Headwinds: Economies Reopening and Competition Intensifying2020 and 2021 were massive years for Netflix as there was an acceleration in the adoption of digital streaming services. However, as the pandemic severity starts to wind down, and people start to spend more time outside, the elevated demand will be reduced to more normalized levels.Competition in the industry is also heating up with the influx of streaming services such as Disney+, Hulu, Apple TV+, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime.This means that users today are spoilt for choice. Companies that fall short of consumers’ expectations, such as the lack of quality content, will find it more challenging to retain these users. The ever-increasing inflation rate has also significantly reduced consumers’ purchasing power, and they are likely to stick with a few core services that are able to attend to their needs. Reports by The Guardian and iMore showed that Apple TV+ and Disney+ have seen huge churn while categorizing Amazon Prime and Netflix as “must-haves”.However, this is not the time to be complacent just yet.Companies like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) have a highly competitive edge over Netflix as they possess highly profitable core businesses financing their investments in curating more content. This puts pressure on Netflix's ability to invest and compete for the long-term while also focus on profitability at the same time.Growth Deceleration(Source: Netflix Investor Relations)As soon as Netflix reported its Q1’22 quarterly results, all eyes were on its revenue growth and subscriber count. Subscribers are important as costs can be spread over a larger base, and that contributes to the bottom line.However, the results were shocking, to say the least.Instead of reporting 2.5 million new subscribers as guided in Q4’21, the company reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers, making it the first decline in a decade. As a result, the revenue grew at a disappointing single-digit rate of 9.8%, down from the double-digit growth they experienced in FY21. Investors ought to be horrified.This is attributed to a few reasons:COVID tailwinds wearing offIntensifying competitionThe suspension of service in Russia resulted in the loss of subscribersFactors like the adoption of Connected TVs & on-demand entertainment, which is outside of its controlThe inability to monetize the 100 million non-subscribers using Netflix’s password sharingTo re-accelerate its double-digit revenue growth, here’s what the management has laid out to address investors’ concerns:To reinvest by coming up with more big-hit content that users want to seeTo monetize on 100 million households using password sharingOffer a low-priced plan with advertisingHowever, we think that the strategies are questionable. Let us share our thoughts.Concern #1: Early MonetizationThe management claimed that there is a huge Total Addressable Market (“TAM”):...while hundreds of millions of homes pay for Netflix, well over half of the world’s broadband homes don’t yet, representing huge future growth potential.This sounds like they are confident that Netflix has a long runway to grow, and that the majority are to come from international markets. However, instead of reinvesting in the business, why are they focusing on monetizing?This news came after Netflix announced that it was going to raise the subscription fees in various countries like the US, Canada, the UK, and even Singapore, where we reside. This highlights its inability to find additional income sources, so it had to resort to raising its prices. These increases were not well-received as customers were unhappy with the multiple price hikes and the crackdown on password sharing. During the Q1’22 results, the subscriber count in the UCAN and EMEA regions (the US and Canada) fell by 640,000 and 300,000, respectively.Coincidence? We think not.In our view, increasing prices should be a late-game monetization. This is especially so when Netflix is the market leader with a huge TAM. Eventually, it comes to a point where it is impossible to squeeze its customers without it being at the expense of their happiness.Concern #2: Diversifying Its Revenue Through Ad-Tier PlanDigital streaming services have been adopting a hybrid model of Advertising-based Video On Demand (“AVOD”) and Subscription Video On Demand (“SVOD”) as seen on platforms like Hulu, HBO Max, and most recently, Disney+.But, what’s the appeal of a hybrid model?It is about offering users more control and choices. Users that do not mind seeing ads or are price-sensitive tend to opt for an ad-tier plan, whereas users who prefer a seamless experience are willing to pay more for an ad-free plan. At the same time, the company can generate additional revenue from advertisers by leveraging their massive audiences.This creates a win-win-win situation.Operating under a pure SVOD model has limitations – there is a cap on how much it can continue to raise its prices before users get frustrated and leave. Prices are increased to cover the rising cost of creating content, and this makes it harder to juggle the balance of reinvesting in content while also offering it at affordable pricing.Now, with Netflix jumping on the bandwagon, what does it really mean to its business?Netflix is very likely to see existing subscribers churn and switch over from a higher-priced plan, cannibalizing their own subscribers. This in turn may affect revenue in the short term. Could this also be the way to win back price-sensitive customers? More churns will lead to lesser revenue, and less money to compete on content, putting pressure on Netflix to compete with players like Apple and Amazon with strong internal financing, and Disney with valuable franchises.Strangely, this decision was made rather abruptly as back in March 2022 (a month ago), CFO Spencer Neumann resisted coming up with an ad-supported tier model as they didn’t feel it was necessary:But that's not something that's in our plans right now. We think we have a great model in the subscription business. It scales globally, really well…and again, never say never, but it's not in our plan, but other folks are learning from it. So it's hard for us to kind of ignore that others are doing it, but it now doesn't make sense for us.Did the management's inability to foresee the slowdown in growth, lack of revenue streams, pressure from shareholders, and increasing competition cause Netflix to succumb to the decision of moving into an ad-supported model, hoping to curb the slowdown in growth to restore investors’ confidence?Concern #3: Invest In Content While Focusing On Profitability(Source: NFLX IR)During the earnings call, the management talked about reinvesting in its content while also pulling back on its spending to reflect the realities of its revenue growth. Here, you can see that its marketing expenses have declined by ~30% sequentially.(Source: NFLX IR)(Source: NFLX IR)As a result, its Gross Margin and Operating Margin have increased to 45.5% and 25.1%, respectively, during the quarter.

Without more value added, these increases may drive customers away.Inefficient Marketing SpendThis brings us to the next part - its inefficient marketing spend.In Q1’22, the management spent a total of $556 million on marketing dollars, yet 200,000 subscribers churned during the quarter and a further 2 million expected in the next quarter. This is $555 million down the drain; and worse, they are losing money for every subscriber they acquired!(Source: NFLX IR)Furthermore, in the last 2 quarters, its Operating Leverage has started to go downhill as its Operating Profit is growing slower than its revenue growth.
