Closing Bell Movers: Netflix slips despite ‘beat and raise’ Q2 report

In the early hours of the evening session, U.S. equity futures were broadly higher, continuing the Thursday’s regular session gains. With earnings season having started with the influx of bank earnings, a handful of smaller financial institutions also reported positive results, with several making gains in after-hours trading.

Among the most notable earnings reports, however, was from Netflix (NFLX), whose shares slid in postmarket trading despite providing a “beat and raise” report for the second quarter. Of note, the cocmpany inccreased its FY25 forecast for revenue and free cash flow. Additionally, a report on a potential rail operator deal has sent Norfolk Southern (NSC) and CSX (CSX) flying high.
