Netflix Stock Is Down 26% in 2026. Is This the Ultimate Buying Opportunity, or Is More Downside Ahead?
Yahoo Finance ·
Shares of Netflix ( NFLX 1.99% ) recently closed at approximely $69, putting the streaming giant down 26% in 2026. The slide is part of a longer and more painful 48% decline over the past year or so. Netflix has generated life-changing returns for investors, so it has a strong reputation on Wall Street and hasn't fallen this far very often in the past decade. But catching falling knives can be a dangerous game. What seems like the ultimate buying opportunity can easily punish overeager buyers. Here's what to make of the company after its latest plunge following its second-quarter earnings report release last week. The market saw Netflix as a fast-growing darling for years. However, those days might be over. Netflix's revenue growth is suddenly slowing. Revenue grew by 17.6% in the fourth quarter of 2025, followed by 16.2% in the first quarter of 2026, and 13.4% in the second quarter. Making matters worse, management guided for only 11.7% growth in the current quarter, yet another deceleration. Wall Street tends to emphasize quarterly performance, which is working against Netflix at the moment, to be sure.

The company is facing significant headwinds as subscriber growth and revenue expansion decelerate.
