– In 2017 au fost zvonuri despre posibile negocieri intre Apple si Netlix. Analistii au incercat sa explice de ce Apple vrea sa cumpere Netflix. Toti au comentat, mai putin cei implicati. Conducerile celor doua companii au ales sa ignore asemnea zvonuri.
Nu a trecut mult de atunci si presa americana reia acest subiect. Analistul JP Morgan a spus ca Apple ar trebui sa cumpere Netflix, anunta Cronica.ro, citand CNBC. Acesta crede ca pretul pe care va trebui sa-l plăteasca ar fi de minim 189 miliarde de dolari in conditiile in care astăzi platforma streaming are o evaluare, pe bursă, de 148 miliarde de dolari si datorii de 7 miliarde de dolari. Apple are aproape 250 miliarde de dolari disponibile in cash.
