Netflix Stock Falls Over 9% Despite Stronger-Than-Expected Earnings

Netflix Stock Falls Over 9% Despite Stronger-Than-Expected Earnings

Netflix also announced that founder Reed Hastings will step down from the board, according to the post.

Fact Check
The core claim is substantially supported by Reuters' article 'ネットフリ第1四半期は売上高が予想上回る、会長退任発表で株価約8%安', which directly states that Netflix reported stronger-than-expected revenue and that founder Reed Hastings said he would not seek re-election to the board. Reuters also says the stock dropped about 8%, not clearly 'over 9%'. Netflix's official pages 'Netflix - Financials - Quarterly Earnings', 'Netflix - Netflix to Announce First Quarter 2026 Financial Results', and 'Netflix - News & Events - Investor Events' corroborate that the Q1 2026 earnings event occurred on the stated date. So the statement is likely true in substance, especially regarding better-than-expected earnings and Hastings stepping down, but the precise magnitude of the stock drop appears overstated based on the evidence gathered in this run.
