Netflix Earnings Overview

Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) reported second-quarter revenue of $12.56 billion with a profit of $0.80 per share, meeting analysts’ expectations. However, its guidance for Q3 2026 predicts revenue of $12.86 billion and earnings of $0.82 per share, falling short of the $13 billion and $0.84 per share analysts had anticipated. Following the earnings report, Netflix shares dropped over 8% in after-hours trading, continuing a trend where the stock has decreased 44% since last June’s peak.

Additionally, Netflix announced it would only report total viewing hours annually, sparking further investor concern. Despite current volatility, some analysts remain optimistic, suggesting Netflix shares may be undervalued, with a consensus price target of $112.77—65% above recent levels. The company’s evolution to a profit-focused model, including a nascent advertising business projected to generate $3 billion this year, indicates potential for future growth amidst industry challenges.
