The main objective of this equity valuation is to assess whether Netflix’s shares were priced
above or below their estimated fair value on the last trading day of 2023. After comparing the
estimated fair value with the observed market price, an investment recommendation to buy, sell
or hold Netflix’s shares was made for potential investors.
Netflix is an American company that stands as a global leader in the entertainment services
industry, renowned for its unique streaming platform and its extensive library of high-quality
content. Due to its distinctive competitive position in the entertainment services industry and
due to its innovative strategies, Netflix is a particularly interesting company for an equity
valuation.

specifically the free cash flow to the firm method, and relative valuation. Both methodologies
provide different perspectives and assumptions, therefore complementing each other.

Netflix’s shares were being traded below their actual fair value of 496.19,obtainedthroughadiscountedcashflowmethod.ConsideringthatNetflix’ssharesareundervaluedandthatthecompanyhasastrongmarketpositionandastronggrowthpotential,itisdeemedanattractiveinvestmentopportunity.Thus,theobtainedresultsleadustorecommendpotentialinvestorstobuythecompany’sshares.Oprincipalobjetivodestaavaliac\ca~odeempresaeˊdeterminarseasac\co~esdaNetflix,Inc.estavamcotadasacimaouabaixodoseuvalorjustonouˊltimodiade2023.Apoˊscompararovalorjustodasac\co~escomoprec\coaqueestavamasertransacionadasnomercado,seraˊfeitaumarecomendac\ca~odeinvestimentoapotenciaisinvestidoresparacomprar,venderoumanterasac\co~esdaNetflix.ANetflixeˊumaempresaamericanaquesedestacacomolıˊdernainduˊstriadosservic\cosdeentretenimento,conhecidapelasuaplataformadestreamingepeloseuextensoconteuˊdodeelevadaqualidade.Devidoaˋsuaposic\ca~ocompetitivanainduˊstriadeentretenimentoeaˋssuasestrateˊgiasinovadoras,aNetflixeˊumaempresaparticularmenteinteressanteparaumaavaliac\ca~odeempresa.ParaavaliaraNetflix,foramescolhidosdoismeˊtodosdeavaliac\ca~o:omeˊtododosfluxosdecaixadescontadoseaavaliac\ca~orelativa.Ambasasabordagensfornecemperspetivasepressupostosdiferentes,complementando−semutuamente.Osresultadosobtidosindicamque,aˋdatade29dedezembrode2023,asac\co~esdaNetflixestavamasernegociadasabaixodoseuvalorjustode496.19, obtido através da abordagem
