Quality score52.4 / 100

Cut-offs are the grader's own: 97+ for an A+, below 60 is an F.

Netflix, Inc. earns a F on excellent profit margins (>20%) and strong ROE (>20%) but high debt-to-equity ratio (>2.0) and poor 1-year return (-33.1%). Consider alternatives with better risk/reward profiles.

Price to book

11.25

Price against balance-sheet equity

well above bookWhat this means
