Earnings Preview: Will Netflix Finally Prove Wall Street Bears Wrong? (Forbes)
Netflix has been derided by the financial community for quite some time, and, in some respects, the company deserves its negative reputation. Between inflated stock valuations (NFLX hit $304 per share in July 2011) and ill-conceived management decisions (Qwikster, really?), Netflix has managed to insult and disillusion everyone from subscribers to Wall Street analysts. While subscriber ire will fade with time, the company has a prime opportunity to make reparations with the analyst and investing communities after the close of trading Wednesday afternoon. paidContent: Subsequent to last summer's Qwikster and price-increase fiascos, Netflix entered a zone of uncertainty about whether and how its subscriber growth in its critical domestic segment will restart. AdAge / MediaWorks: Netflix is likely to reveal a return to subscriber growth when it reports its latest results Wednesday afternoon, but that might not be enough to mean a full recovery from last year's strategic blunders. THR: Classic British comedy series Men Behaving Badly, Emmy Award-winning drama The Naked Civil Servant, and Australian crime drama The Strip are among the titles Netflix will offer in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
