Netflix could be acquired by Microsoft according to this analyst

Perhaps there is a hidden deal in Netflix and Microsoft’s high-profile collaboration for the new subscription-for-ads model.

Netflix will include a new subscription model, under a new plan, at the end of the year or throughout the next course, where many will be able to subscribe by paying a minimum amount of money but having to watch ads, we’ll see how often.

And it is that Netflix is ​​facing a problem that they did not have in their last years and that is competition, with more and more services competing in a market that may bring losses of millions and more subscribers to Netflix during the next courses.

And their first decision, in addition to fighting for these shared accounts, is to team up with Microsoft to access their advertising market so they can exploit it in their new advertising subscription model.

And there is an analyst who considers that this Microsoft advertising agreement could hide a hidden intention, and it is the approach of Netflix to Microsoft for a future acquisition.

Now Needham’s senior analyst, Laura Martinhas spoken with Yahoo Finances about the deal, and suggested there could be bigger ambitions in it, in that Netflix’s ability to have a friendly relationship with Microsoft and subsequently open the door to an actual acquisition.

He comments that the advertising agreement surprised many and that it is really curious that Netflix is ​​approaching the only North American company that could end up acquiring the company valued at more than 100,000 million dollars.

“It could be that Netflix is ​​looking for a way out”, Martin points out. “Netflix is ​​trying to get close to Microsoft in the hope that after Microsoft digests its acquisition of Activision, it will switch and buy Netflix next”.

While this is analyst speculation, there are some interesting points. And it is that if Microsoft made this purchase, it would gain an internal movie division that would allow adaptations of its main video game licenses to television series or movies.

It could also allow Microsoft another avenue for streaming Xbox games by introducing Netflix’s gaming division.
