Understand The Balance Sheet
Understand The Balance SheetNetflix doesn't have a lot of cash on hand in relation to operating expenses, but they are a top streaming service and have the most subscribers, so I guess they aren't concerned. Their business current ratio is under 2% and their book value dropped in 2023, but their other numbers look pretty good.

$2.94B current cash equivalents, but $7.54B operating expenses annually (operating expenses haven't been under $3B since 2016)

Total assets ($53.63B) > total liabilities ($28.89B)
Business Current Ratio: 1.86%
($24.74B) Book value: Growing ~20-45% every year except for a (0.9%) drop in 2023
