Netflix stock slips premarket as Warner Bros bid swamps earnings beat

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 04:51 EST — Premarket Netflix shares dipped in premarket trading Wednesday, sliding further after its earnings beat. Investors remain cautious, balancing the strong results against the $82.7 billion bid for Warner Bros Discovery assets. The deal is stealing the spotlight. Netflix’s fourth-quarter results beat estimates, yet the focus has shifted to financing, regulatory hurdles, and the possibility of higher costs if a rival bidder jumps in. This is significant because Netflix has relied on strict cost control and buybacks to bolster both margins and its share price. A major cash acquisition changes that approach—at least

London, January 21, 2026, 09:12 GMT — Regular session Rio Tinto plc shares rose 3.5% to 6,535 pence in early London trade on Wednesday, lifting the miner against a softer European tape after it reported stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter production across its key commodities.
