Netflix Shares Plummet Over 10% After Disappointing Earnings Report
Netflix, the largest streaming service in the United States, saw its stock plunge by more than 10% after releasing a disappointing earnings report that fell short of market expectations.
On the 22nd of October (local time), Netflixs shares dropped 10.07% to $1,116.37 in the New York stock market. This decline was significantly larger than the 6% drop recorded in after-hours trading the previous day.
In its earnings report released shortly after the market close, Netflix announced that its revenue for the last quarter was $11.51 billion, slightly below the market expectation of $11.52 billion. The companys earnings per share came in at $5.87, well below the anticipated $6.94. Additionally, the operating margin was approximately 28%, falling short of the companys forecast of 31.5%.
Over the past three years, Netflixs stock has surged by 360%, outpacing major competitors such as Walt Disney, Apple, and Alphabet. The company gained particular attention this year due to the success of the show K-Pop Demon Hunters.
Matt Britzman, a senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, commented to Reuters, "Netflixs stock has performed strongly this year and there was already high anticipation. The pressure was on to not just meet but exceed expectations."
Looking ahead, Netflix projects its revenue for the fourth quarter to be $11.96 billion, which is above Wall Streets forecast of $11.9 billion. According to LSEG data, the revenue for the third quarter was almost in line with expectations at $11.5 billion.
Netflix has ventured into diversification with its advertising and video game sectors, but these initiatives have faced challenges due to leadership changes, strategic shifts, and increasing competition. While Netflix reported record advertising revenue in the third quarter, it did not disclose specific figures. Additionally, the company has stopped revealing its subscriber count since the beginning of this year.
In Wall Streets view, the recent performance highlights the growing pressures on Netflix as it navigates a competitive landscape while trying to maintain its growth trajectory.
