Netflix Stock Tumble: What’s Crashing NFLX Shares This Week?

Netflix shares are taking a nosedive—and Wall Street's scrambling for answers. Here's the breakdown.

The bear case bites back

After months of streaming dominance, NFLX hits turbulence. Analysts point to everything from subscriber fatigue to that pesky 'valuation reality check' every overhyped stock eventually faces.

Content crunch or cash burn?

With production budgets ballooning and rivals stealing eyeballs, Netflix's growth story looks shakier than a handheld camera in a Bourne sequel. Remember when 'disruption' meant more than just burning cash to buy old sitcoms?

The cynical take

Another tech darling learns the hard way: gravity always wins. Maybe those 'Netflix and chill' gains were always more about the chilling than the Netflix.

Netflix (NFLX) Earnings Revealed Next Week

Netflix is set to report second-quarter earnings on July 17. JPMorgan analysts anticipate revenue of roughly $11 billion and operating income north of $3.7 billion, both solid double-digit growth from a year ago. The company’s 2025 outlook boasts projected revenue approaching $45 billion, operating margins around 30%, and free cash FLOW as high as $9 billion. Furthermore, Netflix’s ad-supported business reaches roughly $94 million monthly users globally, per Evercore ISI. Ad revenue is expected to double in 2025.

At press time, Netflix stock (NFLX) is trading NEAR the top of its 52-week range. The shares also trade above their 200-day simple moving average. Analysts at CNN forecast the stock to trade at a median price of $1,200 over the next 12 months, and not going any higher than $1,600. Alternatively, upon a rough earnings report in two weeks, the stock could plunge lower, back towards $800.
