Netflix shares fell for a sixth straight session on Thursday, sliding 1.8% as the streaming giant remained under pressure following weak forward guidance and renewed speculation around a potential acquisition.
The stock is on pace to close at its lowest level in more than a year, after declining roughly 7% over the past six trading sessions. From its mid-2025 high, Netflix shares are now down about 37%, highlighting growing unease among investors.
The selloff initially gathered momentum after Netflix released its latest quarterly results, with management’s outlook falling short of market expectations. Investor sentiment was further weighed down by reports linking the company to a possible bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, a development that has raised questions about Netflix’s long-term strategy and capital allocation priorities.
Together, the disappointing guidance and takeover speculation have kept pressure on the stock, as markets reassess growth prospects for the streaming leader.
