Summary · why it matters

Netflix shares have dropped 31% since completing a 10-for-1 stock split on November 14, 2025, driven by lost acquisition deals, intensifying competition, and a valuation reset. The company lost a bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery to Paramount Skydance in a $111 billion deal, missing out on content libraries including HBO Max and Discovery Channel, and was later outbid by Fox for control of Roku, a key streaming platform. Competition has surged with thousands of streaming services now available, challenging Netflix's early-mover advantage despite its 325 million subscribers and presence in over 190 countries. The stock's price-to-earnings ratio soared from a low of 15 in 2022 to a high of 63 by mid-2025, but has since contracted to about 25 times earnings as investors reassess the company's growth prospects in a crowded market.
