Apple is not big on buying giant companies, they like organic growth and that has mostly paid off for them. Their largest acquisition was Beats, that was almost a decades ago. Looks like penny for their size now.
However, NFLX after almost 70% of market cap wipe out looks like a good opportunity for multiple reasons
1). Apple TV+ hasn't been a clear success
2). With AMZN spending as high as $1B on just something like LOTR show, paying $90B for NFLX for their whole catalog and 220M subscribers doesn't seem that crazy
3). Data, netflix has lot of untapped data that can be used wisely. What people watch, and huge international audience
4). Tight integration with Apple econsystem. This includes games and also rumoured VR headsets
As an apple shareholder, would you see this as probable move?
