3 Reasons Icahn May Want Netflix

November 2, 2012 | Comments (0)

It has been an interesting week for Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX  ) . Shares for the company closed up more than 14% yesterday after the news that activist investor Carl Icahn acquired a 10% stake in the company. 

Lyons George looks at three possible reasons that Icahn may have taken this stake:

  1. He expects Netflix may be acquired and wants to ride the inevitable pop. 
  2. He wants to fire, or at the very least correct, Reed Hastings
  3. He may simply think the stock is undervalued and want to ride the stock to its full valuation.

This new announcement is a must-know for investors, which is why we've released a brand-new premium report on Netflix. Inside, you'll learn about the key opportunities and risks facing the company, as well as reasons to buy or sell the stock.
