Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) dropped as much as 3% following a price target reduction to $90 from $105 by Wedbush ahead of third-quarter results. Wall Street analysts expect earnings per share of $0.82 on revenue of $12.8 billion.
### Tape / Session Read Wedbush maintained an Outperform rating while trimming its target, pointing to a potential 23% upside from previous closes. The brokerage highlighted engagement as a central bear-case concern, though advertising revenue is projected to double to roughly $3 billion.
### Why This Lane Matters Leadership changes follow the departure of chief content officer Bela Bajaria and the appointment of former Disney executive Peter Rice. Simultaneously, the streaming giant reduced headcount by approximately 1,000 employees as part of a broader push toward resource discipline.
### Money Play - If $NFLX+WL tests lower support following downward revisions from KeyBanc, Morgan Stanley, Barclays, and Huber Research, watch for retail sentiment shifts on Stocktwits.
