Netflix tumbles as Hastings steps aside, signaling a changing of the guard

Netflix shares dropped over 9% after a strong revenue beat and a pivotal leadership transition: co‑founder Reed Hastings said he will step down as chairman when his term ends in June, handing day‑to‑day control to co‑CEOs Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos.

Discovery deal, a bid war that ultimately favored Paramount Skydance. Management stressed growth in advertising and new bets such as live sports, podcasts, and games as streaming competition intensifies.
