Jefferies Raises Target On Netflix (NFLX) to $240

Jefferies raised its price target on Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) from $210 to $240, but kept its Hold rating.

The firm states, "Solid sub. growth and higher ARPU drove strong 1Q results, but higher content and mktg costs drove below-consensus 2Q EPS guidance. Sub growth comps get tougher in 2H11. We maintain a Hold rating on 1) full valuation on relatively aggressive LT subs/margin assumptions, 2) growing competition from TV Everywhere, AMZN, and DISH, and 3) higher content spend."
