Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos acknowledged that the streaming service's growth is slower than desired, with viewership increasing just 2% in the first half of 2026. Despite this modest growth, Netflix is investing about 5% of its $20 billion content budget in live programming, which currently accounts for about 1% of viewing, as a strategy to accelerate growth. Sarandos defended the company's acquisition of Warner Bros, stating the deal was priced appropriately to deliver shareholder value. Netflix shares fell about 2% following the announcement.
