Quality score52.5 / 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 price well below 200-day SMA (downtrend). Consider alternatives with better risk/reward profiles.

Profit margin

Price to book

9.71

Price against balance-sheet equity

Normal for asset-light businesses, where the value sits in brands and software the balance sheet never records.
