NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 07:37 ET — Market closed Shares of Netflix, Inc. closed down about 3% at $90.99 on Friday, the first trading day of 2026, after swinging between $90.83 and $94.50 in heavy volume.

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 04:58 ET — Market closed Netflix shares fell 2.97% to close at $90.99 on Friday, extending a pullback that traders have tied to uncertainty around the company’s planned acquisition of Warner Bros.

Netflix stock slides to start 2026 as NFL streaming record fails to lift shares

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:22 ET — After-hours Netflix shares were down 2.97% at $90.99 in after-hours trading on Friday, after falling through the regular session. The decline matters now because Netflix is leaning harder into live sports and advertising to drive growth, and investors are testing whether those bets can offset a choppy backdrop for high-valuation tech. Reuters It also lands as Treasury yields ticked up, a move that can pressure growth stocks by raising the discount rate investors use to value future profits. “Value is outperforming growth,” said Jed Ellerbroek, a portfolio manager at Argent Capital.

Netflix stock falls nearly 2% as NFL streaming win meets fresh-year caution

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 10:35 ET — Regular session Netflix, Inc. shares fell about 1.9% to $91.96 in morning trade on Friday, reversing an early gain as U.S. markets opened the first session of 2026. The stock opened at $94.11 and traded between $91.81 and $94.50. The slide follows a key datapoint for Netflix’s live-programming push: the company said its Christmas Day National Football League broadcasts set U.S. viewership records, with Lions–Vikings averaging 27.5 million viewers and peaking above 30 million, citing Nielsen. Netflix also said the games are part of a deal to stream NFL matchups on Christmas

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:33 ET — Regular session Netflix (NFLX.O) shares were down about 0.5% at $93.70 in morning trading on Tuesday, as investors weighed fresh twists in the takeover battle around Warner Bros Discovery. A report saying Warner is expected to reject Paramount Skydance’s revised hostile bid put the focus back on Netflix’s proposed deal for the media company’s assets. The decision matters because the outcome could reshape the streaming landscape and set the terms for a new round of consolidation. Reuters The timing adds urgency.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:11 PM ET — Market closed Warner Bros Discovery’s Series A shares were down 1 cent, or 0.04%, at $28.79 on Monday. The stock is trading like a deal-arbitrage play, with investors trying to price the odds of rival bids for the media group and the timing of what comes next. Paramount Skydance is pursuing a $30-per-share all-cash tender offer, while Netflix has a board-backed cash-and-stock agreement on the table. Reuters+2Reuters+2 At Monday’s last price, WBD traded about 4% below Paramount’s $30 offer. That gap — the “deal spread,” or the difference between the bid

Spotify stock slips after-hours as piracy-scrape update and new features keep SPOT in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:30 ET — After-hours Shares of Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE: SPOT) fell about 0.6% to $581.19 in after-hours trading — the period after the 4 p.m. ET close — after ranging between $577.29 and $586.53 earlier in the session.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:49 PM ET — After-hours Netflix, Inc. shares slipped in after-hours trading on Monday, down 0.3% at $94.15. The muted move comes as investors head into the final sessions of the year with Netflix’s proposed Warner Bros Discovery transaction still dominating the company’s near-term narrative. Reuters That matters now because year-end trading can be thin, and deal headlines or financing updates can move merger-linked stocks quickly even when the broader tape is quiet. Reuters+1 Netflix agreed in early December to buy Warner Bros Discovery’s TV and film studios and streaming division for $72 billion. Under

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 03:57 ET — Market closed Netflix shares ended Friday up 0.9% at $94.47, edging higher in thin post-holiday trade. The stock outperformed a flat U.S. market heading into the final trading week of 2025. Reuters The move matters now because equities are near record peaks and investors are eyeing whether a year-end rally has enough fuel to extend into early January. The S&P 500 is hovering about 1% below the 7,000 level, a milestone many traders have been watching as a sentiment marker. Reuters For Netflix, the immediate backdrop remains its planned purchase of Warner

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 03:21 ET — Market closed Warner Bros. Discovery shares last fell 1.4% to $28.80, leaving the stock wedged between competing takeover prices as investors head into Monday’s session waiting for the next headline in the bidding fight. The gap matters because WBD’s share price has become a running read on whether investors expect a sweeter offer, or whether the company’s board will stick with the deal it has already endorsed. Warner Bros. Discovery IR+1 Paramount Skydance’s hostile bid is structured as a tender offer — a proposal to buy shares directly from shareholders — and

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 21:19 ET — Market closed Warner Bros. Discovery’s Series A shares ended the last session down 1.4% at $28.80, slipping in thin year-end trading after weeks of deal-driven volatility. The move matters because WBD’s stock remains pinned between two competing takeout prices: Netflix’s agreed package valued at $27.75 per share and Paramount Skydance’s hostile $30-per-share all-cash bid. That spread is where investors are pricing the odds of closing, timing and regulatory risk.
