Netflix reported Q1 revenue of $12.25 billion and EPS of $1.23, surpassing analyst estimates due to membership growth, price hikes, and rising ad revenue. However, shares fell 9% after the company issued weaker-than-expected Q2 revenue guidance of $12.57 billion versus $12.63 billion forecast. Netflix maintained its full-year 2026 revenue outlook of $50.7-$51.7 billion, expecting 12-14% growth supported by membership gains, pricing, and advertising. Co-founder Reed Hastings announced he will not seek re-election to the board to focus on philanthropy and other interests.
