The Truth About Netflix’s Massive Stock Buybacks

Netflix reported Q3 2026 revenue of $12.87B, up 11.9% YoY, with operating income and net income rising 34.6% and 43.9% respectively. Despite strong metrics, Wall Street reacted negatively, lowering price targets and downgrading the stock, causing a 6.7% drop in share price. The company executed its largest quarterly buyback, repurchasing 63.9M shares for $4.8B, totaling $10.8B YTD, but this may not indicate undervaluation.
