Netflix’s Operating Margin Continues to Delight
Apr 22, 2025

Image: Netflix has a long runway of growth given market share opportunities.
Looking to the second quarter, Netflix expects revenue growth of 15.4% (17% on a foreign exchange neutral basis) as the company benefits from recent price changes and ongoing strength in membership and advertising sales. The company expects an operating margin of 33.3% in the quarter, roughly 6 percentage points better on a year-over-year basis. Netflix continues to expect 2025 revenue in the range of $43.5-$44.5 billion and an operating margin of 29% based on foreign exchange rate levels at the start of the year. We like Netflx’s market share growth opportunities and view shares as relatively immune to tariff pressures and broader macroeconomic uncertainty. Our fair value estimate stands at $1,060 per share.

UnitedHealth Group Lowers 2025 Outlook
Apr 17, 2025

Image: UnitedHealth’s shares were pummeled after it lowered its 2025 earnings outlook.
During the first quarter of 2025, UnitedHealth Group’s cash flow from operations came in at $5.5 billion, and the firm returned nearly $5 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the quarter. As it relates to the drivers negatively impacting its 2025 guidance, management noted that it “believes these factors to be highly addressable over the course of this year as well as it looks ahead to 2026.” Though we didn’t like the downward revision to its 2025 earnings outlook, UnitedHealth remains a cash cow, and we continue to like shares in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. We value shares north of $600 each.
