How do you say “ Netflix and chill” in German? What about Hindi? Other countries are big fans of the streaming TV service, along with Amazon.com’s Prime Video, and that’s good news for investors, according to one analyst.

Jefferies analyst John Janedis upgraded Netflix on Wednesday, advising investors to hold the shares. He had previously predicted they’d underperform the market, essentially telling people to sell. Janedis thinks shares are worth $135, up from his previous estimate of $95. Netflix traded around $144 on Wednesday.
