Netflix: Is the Music Slowing Down?

Issues include: unprofitable international expansion, dwindling competitive advantages, and a sky-high stock valuation. For a long time, the market has largely ignored these concerns.

Danger Zone: SPS Commerce (SPSC)

Netflix’s Competitive Advantage Keeps Dwindling

2Q16 results reinforce our belief that Netflix no longer has a significant competitive advantage. When it tries to raise prices, as it did for many long-time members this quarter, it loses customers to rivals such as HBO (TWX), Amazon Prime Video (AMZN), and Hulu.

Danger Zone: Acadia Healthcare (ACHC)

This week’s Danger Zone pick has a history of executing a traditional roll-up strategy to great success - if you only care about revenue growth. For those that care about profits, the increasing losses and declining ROIC earn Acadia Healthcare (ACHC) a spot on July’s Most Dangerous Stocks list and the Danger Zone.
