Netflix could see its rapid growth stall if interest rates continue to rise, according to RBC Capital Markets Lead Internet Analyst Mark Mahaney.

The video streaming company often funds its original content by taking on debt. That strategy may have worked so far, but “a rapid escalation in interest rates would reduce their ability to procure debt as inexpensively in the past,” Mahaey said on CNBC's "Squawk Alley."
