  • Netflix Stock Drops 10% as Q2 Forecast Misses, Co-Founder Hastings to Leave Board
    April 17, 2026, 7:43 AM EDT. Netflix shares dropped 10% in premarket trading after the company issued second quarter revenue and earnings guidance below Wall Street estimates. Despite stronger-than-expected Q1 profits with $12.25 billion in revenue and $1.23 adjusted earnings per share, the streaming giant's outlook fell short, forecasting $12.57 billion in Q2 revenue versus an expected $12.64 billion. Co-founder Reed Hastings announced he will leave the board in June, marking an end to his tenure steering Netflix's evolution from DVD mail service to streaming power. Growth concerns intensified after Netflix lost the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition to Paramount Skydance, though leadership highlighted ongoing positive momentum and strategic refocus post-merger talks.
