What nonsense trading on the NZX is. Spark signs a brilliant deal to offer Netflix and is slashed by 4 cents. SKT is neutered by ComCom and goes up a cent!
Maybe great for customers but not so much the company bottom line. I already have free lightbox (along with my free fibre ) which pairs nicely with my free tivo (yes it is still going strong) so i suppoae netflix will provide more free channels i wont watch.
In addition to Minimoke's comment, the Netflix that Spark signed offers very average rated contents. So, today's SP reflects the market thinking towards the deal today. And just being a thought, the deal could be a "positive" news on Spark if the SKT Vodafone merge did go through last week.
I have netflix I find it pretty good for movies and TV. Lightbox only has TV and it is very limited. There's nothing average rated about the Netflix NZ content. Here for example is the movie list for Netflix NZ with all the films you'd expect all the Best Picture winners and top rated stuff is pretty much there. I've had it a few month and haven't made a dent yet in everything I want to see in movies alone.

I'm not suggesting the deal would drive sp up but I wouldn't expect it to drive it down either. Still it's good for me as I am thinking of purchasing a few and the share price is now almost at the pre-comcom decision level and hasn't gone ex dividend yet so will have to do some more research and see where it is tomorrow. I'd speculate sentiment towards the sector and international yield play money continuing to be diverted into other options has more influence on the price today than the Netflix announcement.
Had been thinking about getting Netflix, and have a been a Spark ADSL customer. Signed up to VDSL and 2year contract with *free* 1 year Netflix on Monday .... new modem delivered, connection transferred, Netflix a/c created ... within 4 days ... impressed with the turnaround, and kept informed via emails.
Spark showing some strength today despite going ex divi.
A bit of large cap index rebalancing going on at close (International boys) SPK and RYM both hit hard.
I Made a great profit on St Patricks day - sold on the remarkable and short lived high and bought back on the later big drop. Made enough for a weekend in Taihape (including air fares). Since then it has been driving me mad. Every move I make it jumps the wrong way. I'm only posting this to nail my button pushing fingers down until it reaches 345cps.
