  • Netflix Shares Rise as Founder Reed Hastings Exits Board, Jay Hoag Takes Chair
    June 8, 2026, 11:29 AM EDT. Netflix Inc. (NFLX) shares rose about 1% on Friday, defying a broader market pullback, following co-founder Reed Hastings' formal exit from the board. Hastings, who co-founded Netflix in 1997 and served as CEO for over 25 years, stepped down as executive chairman, with longtime independent director Jay Hoag appointed as new Chairman. Hastings' departure marks the end of nearly three decades leading Netflix's transformation from a DVD rental service to a streaming giant. Retail investor sentiment on NFLX shifted from bearish to extremely bullish, with 74% of analysts rating the stock as Buy or Hold and an average 12-month price target of $114.56, implying a 39% upside from current levels.
