In its first-quarter 2026 investor letter, Oakmark Fund highlighted Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) as a newly established position. Netflix, Inc.

Oakmark Fund stated the following regarding Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:
“Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is the leading streaming entertainment service with over 325 million subscribers and $45 billion of revenue. This scale creates a valuable moat, in our view. Netflix buys more content than its competitors in aggregate but pays less per subscriber, creating a valuable customer proposition as the business grows. Still, the stock declined significantly over the past several months as market participants focused on slowing engagement and the company’s approach to buy Warner Bros, creating an attractive buying opportunity in our view. We are confident that Netflix’s engagement remains strong and believed that the shares looked attractive with or without the acquisition. We find the business attractive as it is trading for its lowest relative valuation since 2022, a period that produced strong subsequent returns.”
