What happened
Netflix (NFLX) stock rose 2.2% to $70.77 Tuesday morning after Deutsche Bank's analyst upgrade to Buy with a $95 price target, as the bank called the stock's roughly 25% slide a buying chance. Analyst Bryan Kraft raised his rating from Hold (neutral) to Buy but cut the target price to $95 from $100, still about 37% above Monday's close. Netflix shares had fallen about 14% in September on worries that viewers are watching less. Kraft says the stock now costs 18 times his 2027 profit estimate, versus about 40 times in June 2025.
Why it matters
Netflix (NFLX) has lost about a quarter of its value this year, so a large bank calling it cheap is notable for shareholders. Deutsche Bank points to growing overseas viewing and a lower price compared with expected profits. Analysts are split, though: Wells Fargo cut its target to $57 this month over weaker viewing. Netflix reports quarterly results on Oct. 20.
