While subscriber growth is faster than one year ago, it didn’t meet expectations in the second quarter. Plus, guidance was weak. This, in addition to the removal of some popular content and a trailing P/E of about 600, make Netlfix a high risk holding. While Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is likely to be a long-term winner, now might not be the ideal entry point.

Conclusion

With Time Warner fighting against industry trends and Netlfix looking as though it might be a little overvalued, The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) looks like the best long-term option. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) is an extremely well-run company with enormous international brand recognition, quality debt management, numerous revenue streams, and a keen eye for future growth opportunities. Perhaps it’s time you took a closer look at this incredible content providing machine.
