Netflix share price crashes through support following Q4 2021 results
Q4 2021 results have seen the Netflix share price under significant pressure as forward guidance disappoints.
The share price of Netflix has seen an aggressive selloff following the group's fourth quarter (Q4) results release.
A summary of the results are as follows:
- Revenue $7.71 billion (in line with estimates)
- Earnings per share of $1.33 (ahead of consensus at $0.80)
- Net paid subscriber additions of 8.28 million (company guidance from third quarter results was for 8.5m)
While revenue for Q4 2021 was in line with estimates and earnings were ahead of consensus, net paid additions to subscriber numbers fell short of the company's previously issued guidance.
What was perhaps more disconcerting for investors was the soft guidance for first quarter (Q1) 2022 subscriber figures. Netflix is expecting to add only 2.5 million paid additions in the new quarter, which is nearly 40% lower than the net additions realized in Q1 2021.
