Netflix stock price: co-CEO share sale and Senate hearing put NFLX in play for the week ahead

Netflix shares slipped 0.8% to $84.92 in late morning trading Wednesday. The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee’s antitrust subcommittee announced a hearing set for Feb. 3 to review the proposed Netflix-Warner deal.

Netflix shares slipped roughly 0.4% to $85.77 in early Monday trading, starting the day at $86.88.

Shares of Netflix, Inc. climbed 3.1% on Friday, closing at $86.12 as the Warner deal grabbed fresh attention. The S&P 500 barely moved, while the Nasdaq edged up 0.28%.

Netflix jumped about 2% to $85.21 in early trading Friday. Co-CEO Greg Peters told the Financial Times that Paramount’s rival bid for Warner Bros Discovery “doesn’t pass the sniff test.” He noted only a “very small” number of Warner shares have been tendered so far into Paramount’s hostile $108 billion offer. Netflix, meanwhile, is proposing $82.7 billion in cash for Warner’s studio and streaming assets.

Netflix shares dropped 2.2% to $83.54 in after-hours trading Thursday, deepening the decline sparked by its bid for key Warner Bros. Discovery assets and a cautious 2026 outlook.
