Netflix shares plunge after weak guidance and news that cofounder Reed Hastings will leave the board
"Netflix's revenue rose 16% to $12.25 billion in the first quarter, just over the consensus estimate of around $12.2 billion, as tracked by S&P Global."
"Earnings per share came in at $1.23, well above S&P Global's estimate of $0.77, in part because of the $2.8 billion breakup fee that Netflix collected from Paramount Skydance."
"My real contribution at Netflix wasn't a single decision; it was a focus on member joy, building a culture that others could inherit and improve."
Netflix's first-quarter earnings report showed a 16% revenue increase to $12.25 billion, surpassing estimates. Operating income rose to $3.96 billion, and earnings per share reached $1.23. However, second-quarter guidance fell short of Wall Street expectations, leading to a 9% stock drop. Co-founder Reed Hastings announced his departure from the board, reflecting on his contributions to the company. Netflix's stock had previously risen over 40% after doubts about acquiring Warner Bros. emerged, but the pursuit led to a significant loss in share value.
