Netflix shares slid despite a strong quarter, as investors reacted nervously to the company’s surprise plan to buy Warner Bros. Discovery in an all‑cash deal. Management signaled it will ramp up spending on original content and temporarily halt share buybacks to finance the acquisition, moves that increase near‑term costs, add financing and regulatory risk, and could pressure profit margins. In response, analysts have been revisiting their models and adjusting price targets, weighing Netflix’s solid subscriber growth, rising ad revenue and longer‑term 2026 revenue and margin goals against fresh execution risks and uncertainty around how smoothly the integration and heavier content investment will play out.
