Netflix (NFLX) forecast third-quarter revenue of $12.86 billion, short of Wall Street's $13 billion estimate. Shares sank nearly 9% in after-hours trading Thursday, July 16.
The guidance overshadowed second-quarter results that beat earnings estimates but fell just short on revenue. Investors are weighing slowing subscriber growth against a maturing streaming business heading into the back half of 2026.
Netflix shares closed Thursday's regular session at $74.35, up 0.91%. The stock then fell 8.98% to $67.78 in after-hours trading once the guidance landed, per TradingView data.
The stock is down more than 21% year-to-date has fallen 41% over the past twelve months. It sits far from its all time high of around $133 set in June 2025.
The drop lands during a stretch of bank earnings season that has already tested investor patience. Fed Chair testimony on rates added to the volatility this week. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 have swung on similar earnings-driven volatility this cycle.
PP Foresight analyst Paolo Pescatore described the outlook as "a naturally maturing growth profile." He said this does not signal deterioration in the business, but added that Netflix now has less room for error given persistently high expectations.
Netflix also said it would cut its viewing-hours report to once a year, starting in January 2027. The company wants to keep the focus on revenue and operating profit.
The company reiterated plans to roughly double annual advertising revenue to $3 billion. Engagement also grew 2% in the first half of 2026.
Netflix reports third-quarter results on October 20. Investors will watch whether the advertising and live-events push can offset slowing subscriber gains.
