Netflix Co-CEO Acknowledges Slower Growth, Highlights Live Content Plans
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos acknowledged that the company's growth has slowed, with a 13.4% increase in subscribers between April and June—the lowest in nearly three years—and only a 2% rise in viewing hours in the first half of the year. To boost engagement, Netflix is investing about 5% of its $20 billion content budget in live programming and expanding theatrical releases for major films. Sarandos also defended Netflix's unsuccessful bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, stating he has no regrets about the attempt.
