Bill Ackman bets $1B on Netflix comeback after $400M loss in 2022

Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square has disclosed a $1 billion investment in Netflix, marking a return after a $400 million loss in 2022 when he exited the stock within three months. Netflix has since strengthened its market position, surpassing 325 million subscribers and boosting free cash flow by nearly 37% year-over-year. The company’s growing ad-supported tier, expected to generate $3 billion in revenue in 2026, is a key factor in Ackman’s renewed confidence. However, concerns remain over slowing growth and rising content costs, making the ad revenue target critical to the success of this bet.

The stock's market cap stands at $298.93 billion, reflecting its significant size in the media sector.
