Stealth Capital Raise By Netflix (NFLX)

Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) is showing that it is nowhere at all close to representing a “value stock” today as many investors have been hoping.  The company has filed a shelf registration statement that will allow it to raise capital via Morgan Stanley and J.P.Morgan. Right before its shelf registration statement, a current report (8-K), was filed showing that Netflix entered into a Note Purchase Agreement to sell to one or more investment funds affiliated with Technology Crossover Ventures $200 million in Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes due 2018.

The initial conversion rate is 11.6553 shares of Netflix common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes.  This comes to an initial conversion price of approximately $85.80 per share.

Netflix closed down 4.6% at $74.47 today and the stock is trading down 5.6% at 69.80 in the after-hours session.  Keep in mind that the prior 52-week range is $73.26 to $304.79, so this will mark a new 52-week low if the shares remain where they are.

If this company is needing to raise $200 million at a time after having had a $15 billion market value jus a few months ago, who cares if it is just to finance content deals.  In the world of content, Netflix showed that the tail cannot wag the dog for very long.
