of Netflix&#8217;s solid success, said Wells Fargo analysts, who cut its price target in half.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The new outlook is clear as mud,&#8221; they said.<\/p>\n<p>If the Q1 loss of subscribers might seem a blip at first blush, Netflix is signaling otherwise: The company anticipates a much larger drop in its second quarter\u2014of around two million net subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure that&#8217;s a turning point&#8221; for Netflix, said Scott Zari of S&amp;P Global Ratings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I think it is indicative of maybe a new phase of slower growth,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bank of America analysts said in a note that Netflix &#8220;made it clear that we can expect very low subscriber growth in &#8217;22 and &#8217;23 with no margin expansion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The shift was felt even in the tone of the company&#8217;s results presentation on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>The affair focused less on the streamer&#8217;s mega hits such as &#8220;Bridgerton&#8221; and &#8220;Ozark&#8221; and more on combating the 100 million households who watch Netflix for free thanks to shared passwords.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we were growing fast, it wasn&#8217;t the high priority to work on,&#8221; co-founder Reed Hastings admitted. &#8220;And now we&#8217;re working super hard on it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chief operating officer Gregory Peters said Netflix wasn&#8217;t trying to shut down sharing, &#8220;but we&#8217;re going to ask you to pay a bit more to be able to share.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Zari, &#8220;future growth will be dependent on how can they monetize those households.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Advertising is coming<\/b><\/p>\n<p>To attract viewers, Netflix is preparing cheaper sub<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ions with advertising\u2014which it expects to roll out in the next couple years.<\/p>\n<p>The Los Gatos, California-based company has long defended its no-ads model, which set it apart from competitors such as Disney+, HBO Max and Apple.<\/p>\n<p>For Pivotal analyst Jeff Wlodarczak, streaming &#8220;appears nearly fully penetrated globally post-COVID,&#8221; and the companies now must set their sights on converting pirates into subscribers, gaining greater market share from each other and driving up prices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Increasing prices won&#8217;t help Netflix in the short term, though it raised its fees in January to the extent that it is now the most expensive among the major streamers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think they&#8217;ll have to adjust their business,&#8221; said Paul Hardart, a professor at New York University, including &#8220;on the cost side, investing in content.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For University of Richmond professor Joel Mier, Netflix&#8217;s price increases and axing of password sharing are &#8220;peripheral but meaningful&#8221; short-term solutions, while its long-term strategy remains &#8220;investing in local-content creation and establishing its gaming presence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With 221 million subscribers, &#8220;Netflix is by far the market leader in the streaming space,&#8221; Zari said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re very far ahead, particularly in the global marketplace,&#8221; said Hardart. &#8220;I think it will give them a lot of advantages.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The problems Netflix faces are &#8220;not good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>&#8221; for the company, he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>But as the global leader, whatever Netflix goes through, the other streamers are also likely to face eventually.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s &#8220;probably worse news for the other services that are starting to try to build themselves,&#8221;
