Netflix Shares Fall as Wells Fargo Downgrades Stock Over Engagement Concerns
Netflix shares declined for a fourth consecutive session, reaching a two-month low after Wells Fargo downgraded the stock to Underweight and cut its price target from 80 to 57. The downgrade reflects concerns over weakening user engagement and a lack of major original series, with analysts forecasting a potential 4% year-on-year viewership decline in the second half of 2026. Netflix is diversifying content through YouTube, gaming, and sports, but faces challenges in producing breakout hits to sustain growth and investor confidence.
