Netflix ($NFLX+WL) shares are trading near $78, representing a roughly 38% decrease from their 52-week peak of $124.86. This pullback, which has seen the stock fall as much as 42% from an all-time high of $134 and 50% from a July low, echoes past significant declines. The company has experienced six instances since 2004 where its stock dropped 35% or more from a high. Notably, every prior substantial decline has ultimately been followed by the stock reaching new record levels, though the recovery timelines have varied significantly. For example, following the 2008 crash, $NFLX+WL shares took approximately 11 months to reach their prior peak.
