Is Netflix a Buy Ahead of Earnings? It Looks Like It

01/12/2026 11:54 AM • Netflix stock has fallen 30% from all-time highs due to missed earnings, uncertainty around the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition, and rising debt concerns. However, technical indicators suggest oversold conditions with RSI at 29 and a bullish MACD crossover. The stock trades at its lowest P/E ratio in years, and analysts from Morgan Stanley and Wolfe Research maintain Buy ratings with $120 price targets, suggesting significant upside from current $90 levels. The article argues much of the downside is already priced in ahead of the upcoming earnings report.

NFLX - Despite recent 30% decline from highs and October earnings miss, technical indicators show oversold conditions (RSI 29, bullish MACD crossover), valuation is at multi-year lows, and multiple analysts maintain Buy ratings with $120 price targets implying 33% upside from $90. Strong historical track record of beating expectations and much of negative sentiment already priced in ahead of earnings.

Why Kratos Defense Stock Keeps Going Up Today

01/12/2026 10:30 AM • Kratos Defense stock rose 3.31% on January 12, 2026, as the company announced plans to build a new 40,000 square foot factory in Birmingham, Alabama to expand weapons production. The move aligns with President Trump's new defense policy calling for a $1.5 trillion defense budget expansion, contingent on defense contractors committing capital investments rather than dividends or buybacks. However, the analyst notes concerns about the stock's extremely high valuation at 800 times trailing earnings and lack of free cash flow.

KTOS - Stock gained 3.31% on announcement of new factory expansion aligned with Trump's defense spending priorities. Company is positioning itself favorably for increased defense contracts and government spending. However, sentiment is tempered by significant valuation concerns (800x trailing earnings) and lack of free cash flow.

PPTA - While the insider sale could signal profit-taking, the article emphasizes this is likely routine portfolio management from option exercise rather than a loss of confidence. The company's recent achievements (project groundbreaking, $380M+ financing, potential $2B debt financing) and transition to execution phase suggest positive fundamentals.
