Netflix Is Down 43% From Its Most Recent High. History Says This May Happen Next

Netflix stock has declined 43% from its recent high amid poor guidance, leadership changes, and low subscriber engagement. Historical precedent suggests the stock could either bottom out around 40% decline (as in 2018) or drop significantly further like the 70% decline in 2021-2022. However, the company's new initiatives including ad-supported tiers, live TV channels, and sports content could drive recovery, making current levels potentially attractive for long-term investors.

Why Are Roku Investors No Longer Getting $160 a Share in a Bad Buyout?

Fox's acquisition of Roku, announced at $160 per share ($22 billion enterprise value), has significantly declined in value due to Fox stock plunging 22% in the first three trading days. The deal was structured as $96 cash plus 0.9693 Fox shares, meaning the stock component's value has eroded from the initial $64 per share to approximately $49 by Wednesday. Roku shares now trade at $137.29, a 6% discount to the deal value, with little prospect of a rival bid given founder Anthony Wood's 55% voting control and his commitment to the Fox deal.
