To paraphrase a point made in other analysts and media commentary about Netflix: when a company is priced for perfection, it must consistently outperform already elevated expectations to justify its valuation.

Apart from Netflix’s Q2 results, a share price increase of XXX% over three years—on XX% revenue growth and a XXX% increase in operating income over this three year period—may naturally be followed by a period of lower share price gains.
