Netflix sees Q2 2026 revenue of $12.57B versus the analyst consensus of $12.64B.
Netflix’s stock price closed at $107.79. It is up 22.49% in the last 3 months and up 10.78% in the last 12 months.
Other important things, Reed hastings is stepping down from the board and they're launching a shorts thing like I said they should.
Disclosure, I own Netflix shares.
Q1 EPS and revenue beat estimates, but Q2 EPS and revenue guidance are below consensus. The strong Q1 beat may be overshadowed by weak forward guidance, creating uncertainty and potential volatility. The author holds shares, indicating a baseline bullish bias, but the mixed report warrants caution rather than immediate action. Market may punish the stock for the guidance miss; leadership transition (Hastings) adds uncertainty; competitive pressures remain.
