Company Overview

Company Snapshot

Netflix, Inc. is a global leader in entertainment streaming. The company offers a broad portfolio of streaming TV series, films, documentaries, and mobile games, with content available in multiple languages and genres.

It also serves roughly 300 million paid subscribers across over 150 countries, targeting individual consumers and households seeking on-demand entertainment.

Foolish Take

Hong Kong-based Oriental Harbor Investment Master Fund trimmed its Netflix position by roughly $37 million last quarter—a notable move for a fund whose portfolio remains heavily tilted toward megacap tech. While Netflix now accounts for just 1.1% of Oriental Harbor’s holdings, positions in Nvidia, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms still make up nearly half of its reported assets, reflecting a continued preference for large-cap growth and AI-driven exposure.

Netflix, meanwhile, continues to post exceptional results. In its most recent quarter, revenue jumped 16% year over year to $11.1 billion, while operating margin expanded to 34%, driving a 47% increase in earnings per share. The company also raised its full-year forecast to roughly $45 billion in revenue and expects a 30% operating margin, underscoring the strength of its ad tier, global slate, and expanding live content strategy.

The sale could signal a tactical rebalance after a 70% rally in Netflix shares over the past year, far outpacing the S&P 500. For growth-focused investors, trimming such a high-flyer amid record profits may be more about portfolio discipline than waning conviction in the company’s outlook.
