Netflix Stock Performance In Context
Netflix (NFLX) has quietly slipped about 4% in the past day and roughly 10% over the past week, extending a near 18% pullback this month that is starting to test investors patience.

That slide comes after a strong run, with the share price still up modestly year to date while the three year total shareholder return above 200% shows the longer term momentum story remains very much intact.
Given how quickly sentiment can shift around big tech, it is worth scanning other high growth opportunities in high growth tech and AI stocks while Netflix works through this cooling phase.
With the share price now well below consensus targets but growth in revenue and profits still robust, the key question is whether Netflix remains undervalued or if the market is already pricing in its future expansion.
