Netflix reported Q2 revenue slightly below expectations at $12.56 billion and issued a cautious Q3 revenue forecast below Wall Street estimates, causing shares to fall nearly 12%. Despite gains in membership, price hikes, and ad sales, the company narrowed its full-year revenue guidance to $51-$51.4 billion, reflecting slower growth. Operating income and earnings per share beat forecasts, but free cash flow declined. Netflix will reduce its viewing-hours reporting to once a year starting in 2027, raising concerns about engagement trends amid rising competition and a maturing business model. Analysts are divided on Netflix's future growth, with some optimistic about advertising and gaming revenue, while others worry about margin pressures and strategic challenges.
