Ever since Netflix became the number one streaming service, it has been rumored many times that it could be bought. Let’s see what an analyst tells us.
Since a time ago, Netflix it has decreased its value in the market, as it has some financial problems, it has lost subscribers and it may be the right time to sell. So microsoft could come to the rescue.
It has recently been revealed that microsoft will help create the new ad-supported subscription model for Netflix with technology and an advertising market. This will allow subscribers to pay less but still have to watch ads. That’s why Needham’s senior analyst, Laura Martin, spoke about this agreement and that it could be the beginning of something new. Since for now no other company could pay the 100 million dollars in which the streaming service is valued.
“It could be that Netflix is looking for a way out. As they are trying to approach Microsoft in the hope that after Microsoft digests their acquisition of Activision, they will switch and buy Netflix next.” Laura Martin revealed.
Remember that the largest technology companies in the United States (and in the world) have streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video either appletv+. So if microsoft wants to compete with them in the audiovisual content market, the best thing to do is to buy Netflix and not start from scratch.
So they could become an entertainment giant.
Since on the one hand it has the consoles of Xbox for video games and complement all this with Netflix, it would be a beast. Since they could even manage to stop the great advance of Disney Pluswhich for now is number two, but there are forecasts that it will become the platform with the most paying subscribers in the coming years.
For now, we will have to wait to see if microsoft purchase Netflix, but if that happens it will be one of the great financial operations of the decade. In fact, this doesn’t even top it. Elon Musk trying to buy twitter.
