  • Shares have fallen roughly 28%–30% since October, following a Q3 operating-margin miss and a large Brazilian tax charge.
  • Wall Street is focused on operating margins, advertising revenue traction, and forward guidance, after Netflix guided to a 23.9% Q4 operating margin and 29.3% for 2025.
  • Deal uncertainty persists as Netflix pursues Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming and studio assets while Paramount Skydance mounts a hostile offer for all of WBD and legal fights slow progress.
