Streamingdienst: Netflix-Wachstum schwächt sich weiter ab - Verhaltener Ausblick
Trotz eines hohen Quartalsgewinns strafen die Investoren Netflix hart ab. Die Kosten für einen Stellenabbau und die harte Konkurrenz im auf dem Streamingmarkt belasten die Bilanz.
Netflix's streaming growth is slowing down, according to the company's recent quarterly outlook. The streaming giant reported a surprisingly high profit for the quarter, thanks to the success of its second season of "The Gentlemen" and the revival of "Our Little Farm". However, the rise in revenue has hit its lowest point in nearly three years.
The increase in sales slowed down, and the costs of layoffs also impacted the balance sheet. As a result, Netflix's stock price fell by nearly five percent in after-hours trading on Wall Street.
In the past three months, Netflix's revenue grew by nearly twelve percent to reach 12.87 billion dollars. In the same period last year, revenue had increased by seventeen percent. The streaming service does not expect a significant acceleration in growth in the near future. The US company anticipates a twelve percent increase to 13.4 billion dollars in the final quarter of 2026.
While net income jumped by nearly thirty percent to 0.87 dollars per share, the main reason was delayed expenses. For the fourth quarter, the net profit is expected to be 0.67 dollars per share, which analysts had predicted at 0.73 dollars per share.
