Netflix (NFLX) last night reported upside for Q1 and provided a mixed Q2 outlook, Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Olson tells investors in a research note. Most importantly, says the analyst, is that international subscriber additions were ahead of expectations for the quarter and essentially in-line for the Q2 guide. For domestic subscribes, Q1 was also ahead of consensus, but Q2 domestic sub guidance is below the Street, adds Olson. He believes Netflix's Q2 is "light on new content" but that its slate "appears strong" for the second half of 2019. Further, despite new services on the horizon from Disney (DIS) and Apple (AAPL), the analyst expects "minimal impact" to Netflix subscriber additions and retention. Olson thinks Netflix will "continue to capture a significant portion of traditional content dollars as they migrate to streaming." The analyst reiterates an Overweight rating on Netflix shares with a $440 price target.
