On July 3, Netflix shares collapsed 17% as investors expressed alarm over stretched valuation multiples, with the stock trading at a significant premium to peers despite slowing subscriber growth.
Netflix is set to report Q2 results with expectations for further pricing-driven revenue increases, continued expansion of its ad-supported tier and an upwardly revised free cash flow target reflecting stronger operating cash generation.
