Anyone buy Hedged Ticker I don't think IMO only personally dollar will recover anytime soon but I do like buying if don't want to be the victim of exchange which I love for my weekly and monthly distributions as a nice added boost but straight growth stocks or speculation anyone purchase the CAD Hedged?
Here info I found for my decision.
When to Choose Netflix CDR (CAD Hedged)
- Small Portfolios: Since the CDR trades at a lower price (approx. $36 CAD vs. ~$95 USD for the native share as of early 2026), it is more accessible if you have limited capital or want to buy fractional amounts.
- Simple CAD Investing: It allows you to invest using your existing Canadian dollars without paying upfront currency conversion fees to your broker.
- Bearish on USD: If you believe the Canadian dollar will strengthen against the U.S. dollar, the CAD Hedged version will outperform the direct stock.
When to Choose NFLX (Netflix Inc. - USD)
- Long-Term Holding: For large, multi-year positions, the annual 0.6% hedging fee on the CDR can eventually cost more than the one-time currency conversion for the direct stock.
- RRSP Accounts: Holding USD-denominated stocks directly in an RRSP avoids the 15% U.S. withholding tax on dividends (though Netflix currently pays no dividend).
- Bullish on USD: If the U.S. dollar gains value against the Canadian dollar, you will earn an extra return from the currency movement on top of the stock's performance.
Note on Netflix Stock Split: Netflix executed a 10-for-1 stock split on November 17, 2025, which lowered the per-share price for both the native stock and CDR to improve retail accessibility.
