Netflix (NFLX) Forensic & Valuation Analysis — 33-Page Report

A 33-page teardown of Netflix that does the reading most coverage skips.

Netflix is posting a 29.5% operating margin and $9.5bn of free cash flow, and the shares still fell 44% in a year. This report works out why, from the filings up, and reaches a valuation that sits well below consensus for a reason worth understanding.

Inside the 33 pages, across 30 sections:

• The disclosure timeline. Netflix stopped reporting subscribers after December 2024 and is halving how often it publishes engagement data. What that removes from view, laid out and dated.
• Content accounting in full. Why $18.4bn of Netflix's $24.0bn content obligations sit off the balance sheet, and what that does to every leverage figure you will see quoted.
• A complete DCF, with the WACC derived from current yields, three probability-weighted scenarios, sensitivity grids, and a reverse DCF that shows what today's share price already assumes.
• The valuation diagnosis. Our model lands below consensus, and we show the gap is almost entirely the discount rate rather than the forecasts, then name the single assumption we are least sure of.
• The Warner Bros. Discovery episode, the management scorecard, and a monitoring framework with ten dated triggers.

No rating. No price target. The working is shown so you can reach your own conclusion and test every number against the source filings.
