Netflix delivered blockbuster returns to shareholders in 2013, but now the streaming-video service is looking somewhat pricey.
Even more so than Under Armour, Netflix's (NFLX) stock price of $454 represents a premium on Wall Street's average price target of $427.94. On Monday, the company reported solid earnings, including surpassing 50 million subscribers, but the results were about in line with what most investment experts expected.
Less than half of analysts who cover the stock have "buy" ratings on it -- and 14% are urging investors to sell it.
Netflix passes 50 million subscribers
Some observers are worried about the amount of cash Netflix has to spend on content, between securing rights from media providers and producing its own content like "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black."
But Wall Street has been wrong on Netflix before. Only 20% of analysts had a "buy" rating on the stock in the beginning of 2013, a year during which Netflix crushed the broader markets by skyrocketing almost 300%.
