Netflix's world has been turned upside down as stock plunges 35%


Call Eleven and Sheriff Hopper of "Stranger Things," because Netflix's world has been turned upside down.

The company reported Tuesday that it lost subscribers for the first time in more than a decade. The news shocked Wall Street and sent shares plummeting 35% Wednesday morning, wiping out $50 billion in market cap. And this was after the company's stock had dropped more than 40% year to date.
Simply put, Netflix's terrible 2022 has now become disastrous.

Once bullish experts and analysts who viewed Netflix as the linchpin of a transforming entertainment industry are now concerned about its growth going forward. And they're wondering what the future of the company — and all of streaming — might look like.

"What worked until this point may not be working anymore," Michael Nathanson, a media analyst at MoffettNathanson, told CNN Business. "The world's changed."


That's a huge drop.

Panic sales that fail to account for over $1 billion in annual profits. The sharpies will make their move in the days ahead and the stock will recover.

I always think the stock market likes to panic and deliberately over react - they'll dump their stock and pick it up again when it's fallen far enough.

Netflix doesn't have superhero movies. Disney+ has MCU and HBO Max has DC. That's all what people need.

Huge amounts of money are nice but you need programs produced by people with talent and showbiz experience. How much money did they throw away on Harry and Meghan for example ? They're never going to get that back.

Oh, no.

Anyway.
