Netflix Stock Takes Another Dive As Streaming Giant Posts Q1 ... (Deadline)

Netflix shares slid 16% in after-hours trading after the company actually lost ground in terms of subscribers, falling to 221.64 million.

The company has also ramped up its efforts in video games and interactive programming, looking to enhance subscription offerings and keep any restless customers from canceling. It’s a potential prelude to a global effort to crack down on the practice, which costs streaming purveyors billions in revenue. Netflix, like many companies, decided to suspend operations in Russia due to the invasion after having developed local-language production and a small subscriber base there. The company blamed a “back-end weighted content slate,” with titles like Bridgerton‘s second season and The Adam Project both launching in March, giving them less time to boost the quarterly numbers. A scrap of good news for Wall Street was free cash flow, which amounted to $802 million vs. Acquisition growth, Netflix said, is still affected by Covid and “macro-economic hardship” in regions like Latin America. This time, its global subscriber base declined by 200,000 from where the company ended 2021, a rare reversal and far from the internal projection of 2.5 million additions in the period. The Street also had expected more from the streaming giant in term of revenue, with a consensus among analysts calling for $7.93 billion. streaming is the future, many new streaming services have also launched,” the company said. “We believe these factors will keep improving over time, so that all broadband households will be potential Netflix customers,” the shareholder letter said. A similar pattern followed the company’s previous quarterly earnings report last January. After softer-than-expected numbers, shares plunged by more than 20%, where they have essentially remained in the months since. The Netflix numbers were clearly weighing on streaming rivals but nowhere near the extent that investors are currently punishing the DTC leader.

But will it be enough to go toe to toe with other blockbuster originals from rival streaming services? The company expected to add 2.5 million new subscribers for the quarter. - Subscriber growth: Will Netflix deliver an about-face in terms of subscriber growth, after a sharp decline in 2021? “While this added competition may be affecting our marginal growth some, we continue to grow in every country and region in which these new streaming alternatives have launched.” In a shareholder letter, Netflix blamed a number of factors, including inflation, increased account sharing, and growing competition.

Netflix stock sinks after losing subscribers (City Index)

Netflix shares have plunged to their lowest level in 30 months after the streaming giant lost subscribers for the first time in over 10 years.

This includes the crackdown on password sharing, with Netflix believing its 222 million paying households are sharing passwords with a staggering 100 million additional households, including 30 million in core markets in the US and Canada. Netflix believes this is a key area to target as it means it already has 100 million potential new customers that are already using its service.

Netflix Stock Crash: Chickens Coming Home To Roost (Forbes)

Netflix now finds itself as just one of several streaming platforms, meaning it will be judged on the same scale as its competitors.

That said, Netflix is only responsible for Netflix, and it’s the investor class and media punditry that convinced the rest of Hollywood to transform its entire business model by chasing Netflix’s arguably-inflated stock earnings. Some of this is the inevitable result of A) everyone trying to copy Netflix’s early-bird success and B) studios becoming stingier with third-party content for the sake of boosting their platforms. The pandemic created a need for quick cash which saw the streamers nabbing some genuine winners, like Skydance’s The Tomorrow War (which went to Amazon), Paramount’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 or Sony’s The Mitchells Vs. the Machines. Give or take Netflix’s smart first-look deal with Sony (tied to their blockbuster first window pay-tv deal and which just saw Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson’s The Man from Toronto getting sold to Netflix), I don’t think we’ll see rival studios selling off their prized bulls to their biggest rivals anytime soon. That’s not always fair, but it’s telling that Bridgerton season two just became Netflix’s most-watched English-language television show ever (ahead of Bridgerton season one) amid sky-high viewership for the likes of Red Notice, Don’t Look Up and The Adam Project and the stock still cratered. At least some of this is due to Wall Street being Wall Street, overvaluing the stock by treating it as a tech company as opposed to an entertainment studio, and by giving little quarter to the notion that subscriptions to any and all streaming platforms surged in 2020 and 2021 due to a global pandemic that kept everyone stuck in their house for around 1.5 years. Judged as not “the ultimate disrupter” but rather “just another streaming platform,” Netflix now stands out as one that costs more than the competition ($16-$20 a month for HD or 4K plans) and has no added value (no Amazon Prime shipping for that $12-a-month subscription) and is rarely considered home to the “best” film and television content.

It has time for you. There's a glut of competing services nowadays, and while that has been the case for years we're now at the point where the competition has achieved critical mass scale. It has time for this. The 11% jump for its standard plan may seem tame in an inflationary climate where a lot of things are getting more expensive, but this is the sixth rate hike at Netflix over the past eight years. The two largest original films it ever put out -- in terms of viewership -- have come out in the last five months.

Netflix in part blamed its first subscriber loss in more than a decade on increased competition from rival streaming platforms.
