Here's How to Play Netflix After Earnings

Chris Johnson

Few stocks get as much publicity as Netflix Inc.�(Nasdaq: NFLX).

Anyone with even a marginal interest in the stock market knows that the company reported mixed earnings Monday night, beating estimates on earnings but missing on revenue and the all-important subscriber-growth metric.

The stock plunged as much as 14% on Tuesday but quickly bounced back to net a drop of just 5.2%.

Analysts were quick to defend the stock, saying the dip provided an excellent buying opportunity. Some even raised their price targets. I guess year-over-year growth of 40% and a stock up 98% for the year – after the earnings plunge – deserves some leeway.

But of course this is all stuff you can read on Google News; just plug "Netflix" into the search bar, and you'll get dozens of stories saying mostly the same thing.

I'm going to show you something you won't get anywhere else, though: my proprietary analysis, which is spotlighting a juicy profit play here.
