Netflix forecasts Q4 revenue and profit below estimates, shares drop 4.5% after hours

Netflix forecasted fourth-quarter revenue of $13.44 billion and earnings per share of $0.67, both below Wall Street estimates, leading to a 4.5% drop in shares after hours. Despite this, its third-quarter earnings beat expectations with revenue up 12% and net income of $3.66 billion. Netflix also lowered its full-year cash flow outlook and advertising revenue forecast, citing a real estate transaction. The company plans to expand its advertising tier to 15 new countries in 2027, signaling ongoing growth efforts amid cautious guidance.

Netflix shares are down 6.83% on Pluang, trading at USD 65.08 as of Oct 21, 2026 03:51 WIB. Despite the recent revenue forecast miss, the stock sees strong buying interest with 94% of orders on Pluang being buys at this time.
