Netflix beats Q4 2025 earnings and tops 325M subscribers — but the Warner Bros. bet spooks investors

LOS ANGELES, Jan 20, 2026, 13:50 PST Netflix barely surpassed Wall Street’s revenue forecasts for the holiday quarter and reported surpassing 325 million subscribers.

Netflix stock price forecast: NFLX stuck near $90 as Warner vote backs deal and earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 14:35 EST — Regular session Netflix shares edged down 0.2% to $90.50 on Wednesday, after Warner Bros. Discovery’s board again urged shareholders to reject a rival bid from Paramount Skydance and stick with Netflix’s offer.

Warner said Paramount’s amended offer would amount to a leveraged buyout — an acquisition financed mostly with borrowed money — and flagged roughly $87 billion of pro forma gross debt in the structure.

Netflix stock (NFLX) holds steady after hours as CFRA downgrade spotlights Warner deal risk

New York, January 5, 2026, 18:05 (EST) — After-hours Netflix, Inc. shares were little changed in after-hours trading on Monday after CFRA downgraded the stock, putting the spotlight back on risks tied to the company’s pursuit of Warner Bros.
