Even though streaming-TV service company (NASDAQ: NFLX) stock has fallen sharply since the company reported underwhelming second-quarter revenue growth last week, one analyst is raising his price target for the stock.

Shares could rise another 17% over the next 12 months, he projects.
Here's a closer look at some of the key takeaways from the company's second-quarter update and what's behind this analyst's aggressive $500 price target for the stock.
