This year hasn't treated Netflix's (NFLX) stock well, and it is down over 18% year-to-date (YTD). It peaked above $108 in April ahead of its Q1 2026 earnings. However, that report triggered a selloff in Netflix, as did the next one. Incidentally, the company did not raise its 2026 guidance in either release, which dampened sentiment and raised fears of a slowdown in the back half of the year.
To be sure, Netflix hasn't had a linear decline this year, and the stock has had its moments. It rallied in late February after the company announced that it was walking away from the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery's (WBD) ******* ets. It did not hurt that Paramount Skydance (PSKY) paid a $2.8 billion breakup fee to Netflix for stepping aside from the deal. NFLX hit its 2026 lows following its Q2 2026 confessional but smartly rallied from those levels, in part aided by the disclosure that Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Holdings (PSHZF) took a stake in Q2.
