Netflix, Inc.
NASDAQWells Fargo analyst Steven Cahall downgraded NFLX to Underweight today, slashing the price target to $57—a 29% cut from $80. The stock closed Tuesday at $75.31, implying 24% further downside from Cahall's new call. The downgrade arrives as consensus holds at Hold with a $93 mean target, and marks a sharp reversal after four months of modest analyst recovery. Short interest stands at a benign 2.1% of free float, with cost to borrow at just 0.30%—constraints that do not support a near-term squeeze.
