On August 18, Netflix declined 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $75.635/share with turnover of $1.38 billion. The stock gave back gains made earlier in the week following Bill Ackman's disclosed position.

The decline comes amid broad weakness across the Movies & Entertainment sector. A key overhang emerged after Tiger Global disclosed in its Q2 13F filing that it completely cleared its Netflix position, while simultaneously reducing stakes in other major tech names. The filing showed Tiger Global's total portfolio reached $24 billion, with the fund adding 17 new liquidations during the quarter.

Adding to bearish sentiment, options market activity on August 15 revealed a $8.87 million simultaneous purchase of in-the-money put contracts expiring September 18 at strike prices of $110 and $116, signaling institutional hedging against further downside. Netflix shares had rallied over 5% on August 13 after Pershing Square disclosed a 3.15 million share position, but the stock now faces selling pressure as the initial momentum fades.

Within the Movies & Entertainment sector, Walt Disney fell 2.52%, Spotify fell 3.61%, Warner Bros. Discovery fell 0.88%, Roku rose 0.09%, and Live Nation fell 2.07%.
