1 Reason Why Warren Buffett Would Like Netflix Stock, and 1 Reason He'd Avoid It Like the Plague

The article analyzes why Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway would both admire and avoid Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). It praises Netflix’s management for financial discipline — notably walking away from an $83 billion Warner Bros. Discovery deal (bowing out Feb. 26) — but argues the stock’s expensive valuation (P/E ~38.5) and steep long-term run-up make it unlikely to meet Buffett’s margin-of-safety standards. Market details note Netflix trading near $92.58 and off ~2.38% in the session, with a ~$400B market cap. The piece frames Buffett’s likely stance as supportive of operational decisions but bearish on valuation, implying limited near-term upside from value-oriented large-cap investors.
