Netflix is 'owned by passionate idiots': Analyst News of Netflix (NFLX) losing its top two most-watched shows – “ Friends” (to WarnerMedia’s HBO Max in 2020) and “The Office” (to NBCUniversal’s service in 2021) – doesn’t mean the demise of the leading streaming service. At least not yet. “It’s probably not as fatal to Netflix as the headlines may appear,” Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter tells Yahoo Finance’s “The First Trade.” “I don’t think it’s good for Netflix, but I don’t think they’re going to lose a ton of subscribers immediately.” Instead, Pachter sees a “slow bleed” ahead for the streaming giant. “If Disney, Comcast and Warner pull all their content [off the platform], Netflix is going to lose about 60% of its content,” and Pachter says that spells bad news for Netflix over the next four to five years. ‘Stranger Things’ to the rescueThe prospect of networks pulling back their top titles is no surprise to Netflix. The streaming service, which boasts 148 million paid subscribers globally, has been anticipating the move. It’s one of the reasons why the company is spending feverishly to attract and keep subscribers. That investment appears to be paying off when it comes to the supernatural thriller “Stranger Things.” On Monday, Netflix tweeted that 40.7 million accounts have watched the show since its July 4 debut. That’s a record for any film or TV series in its first four days on the platform. In addition, a survey by Wall Street firm Cowen & Co., found about 51% of current Netflix users plan to watch “Stranger Things 3.” Nearly 5% of consumers who aren’t current Netflix subscribers plan to sign up for the service to watch the show, while 13% of former Netflix members plan to re-subscribe in order to watch the show’s third season. “We view these figures as notably positive given the potential to drive gross [subscription] additions both at the end of 2Q19 and into 3Q19 on the back of arguably NFLX’s highest-profile show,” Cowen & Co. analyst John Blackledge wrote in a research note Tuesday.
