Fortune’s Chris Morris and Will Daniel discuss on Tech Debate.

Are Netflix’s glory days behind it?

Tech

mm hmm. Welcome to Fortune tech debate where we discussed the issues of the day in two minutes. Today, we're talking about netflix subscriber numbers are down for the first time in a decade and the stock is plummeting. Well, is this the end of the bubble? Um, so I don't think what we're seeing with Netflix as a bubble, but the company did lose 200,000 subscribers in the most recent quarter and it expects to lose another two million by next quarter. So I think what you're seeing is a saturated stream market causing netflix a lot of problems. And I wonder about what that means for their future subscriber growth. Well, I think what it ultimately is going to come down to is content. Uh, you've got two seasons still left of Stranger Things, one of which is going to be broken into two quarters you've got on this season of the crown coming up soon. Bridget Unjust saw some record viewership numbers. So I think netflix is putting content out right now that people still want to watch. Yeah, I definitely agree that they put out great content. Um, my only concern is that investors are re pricing this stock from its high flying tech growth days into a more slow moving big tech got giant. So, um, when that happens like price appreciation is likely to fall. And so I wouldn't call this a bubble, but I'm not really bullish. All right. That's fair enough. But I mean you have to consider also, there are a lot of untapped areas that netflix has yet to explore china and India are two huge ones right now. And even if they can't crack those markets they can still sell their content to the providers in those markets. So that is an area of income that really hasn't been explored. Yeah that's true. Um the company does have the ability to expand internationally but I worry about their margins when they do that. Um in the most recent quarter they will post $1.6 billion 20% margins. And if they expand internationally and offer lower priced versions that could lead to increasing problems with profitability. Yeah I think that's that's a good point. But let's let's consider one of the things. Also we're talking about margins. Netflix for a long time. Kind of resisted the ad supported model. Now they're saying something that they're interested in doing and when HBO max did that back in june they saw a big burst in consumer interest and saw their subscriber numbers begin to climb at a pretty steady basis. Now unfortunately that's all the time we have for today so come back to Fortune dot com for more to activate. Mhm.
