Why did Netflix stock jump today?

Investors welcomed Netflix’s decision not to raise its bid for Warner Bros Discovery and the restart of share buybacks. The move reduces M&A risk and signals confidence in cash generation. Markets rewarded the cleaner story, with a near 10% after-hours pop as focus returned to margins, ad-tier progress, and content ROI.

What does Paramount Skydance’s $31 offer mean for Warner Bros Discovery?

A $31 per share proposal from Paramount Skydance positions it as the favorite for Warner assets after Netflix stepped back. It could reshape US media ownership and prompt regulatory review. Any changes around CNN and news operations add complexity, a factor international investors should watch for sentiment and approval timelines.

Is Netflix stock attractive for German investors now?

It depends on risk tolerance. Valuation is growth-priced at a PE near 32.72, but margins and cash flow are improving, and buybacks help EPS. Consider USD exposure, tax on capital gains, and execution during US hours. A staged entry on pullbacks toward support may suit long-term holders.

What short-term levels matter for Netflix stock traders?

Watch the Bollinger range at 74.71–85.36 and Keltner band at 75.24–86.60. The 50-day average near 87.45 is first resistance, then the 200-day at 110.90. ATR of 2.84 signals moderate volatility. Support sits around the lower bands and the recent day low near 82.80.
