Mobile Viewing to Boost Netflix's Global Addressable Market

Goldman analyst Heath Terry forecasts 30 million net subscriber additions in 2019 versus the consensus estimate of 25 million. He attributes the upbeat outlook to the streaming company's growth prospects in emerging markets like India, the most populous democracy, where the audience is swiftly transitioning from in-home televis🤡ion viewing to out-of-home mobile viewing. While  currently run through connected TVs, Goldman views a broad shift to mobile device viewing as rapidly expanding Netflix's total subscriber pool.

Terry added that Netflix still risks falling short of estimates in Q3, but prospects for long-term outperformance far outweigh negative headwinds.
