MarketWatch: Shares of Netflix have nearly doubled so far this year, and one analyst says they could climb nearly $300 over the next 12 months. BTIG’s Richard Greenfield has slapped a $950 price target on the shares, the most bullish view of any analyst tracked by FactSet, as he said traditional, pay-TV relies too heavily on expensive cable bundles and untargeted ads that consumers don’t want. “It’s almost comical that as traditional TV programmers have shifted from linear to digital-on-demand, their greatest innovation has been to disable fast-forwarding, thus forcing consumers to suffer through ads.”
