Analysts at Barclays are out with a report this morning upgrading shares of Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) with an ‘Equal Weight‘ rating. The firm raised its price target for the company to $450 from $400. Although the firm said it increased its PPS on the name as it’s expecting higher pricing, it noted an increase in spending could depress margins and slow U.S. subscribes to limit share upside.
