On July 17, Netflix declined 8.81% overnight, trading at $67.73/share, with turnover of $53,500. The drop was triggered by a disappointing forward outlook despite mixed Q2 results.
Netflix reported Q2 EPS of $0.80, narrowly beating the $0.79 consensus, representing an 11.1% year-over-year increase. However, revenue of $12.56 billion came in slightly below the $12.587 billion estimate. More critically, the company guided Q3 EPS to $0.82, falling short of analysts' $0.84 expectation. Netflix also narrowed its full-year revenue range to $51.0B-$51.4B versus the prior $50.7B-$51.7B range and the FactSet consensus of $51.38B.
The selloff extends a pattern of four consecutive post-earnings declines, with the stock down nearly 20% year-to-date. Analysts have flagged concerns over slowing engagement, with Netflix's U.S. TV viewing share hitting its lowest level in over a year. The company announced plans to increase content spending by approximately 10% this year and expand into live sports and AI-driven content production to reignite growth.
