Netflix's 'violent' 12% drop probably isn't a big deal

Netflix stock got creamed on Tuesday, falling by more than 12% for the day.

That large of a drop certainly grabs eyeballs, but based on the company’s track record it may not be a big deal according to research from Bespoke Investment Group.

“Notably, NFLX has averaged a move of +/-13.8% on its earnings reaction days throughout its history as a public company, so today’s 11% decline is actually less volatile than normal,” said a report from Bespoke.

“Using our Interactive Earnings Report Database, we pulled all earnings reaction day drops of 5%+ for NFLX. Since 2002 when NFLX went public, the stock has experienced 5%+ drops following earnings 24 times!”

In fact, according to Bespoke, the company is the most violent mover of any S&P 500 company the day after earnings and this even the worst drop, Netflix crashed over 20% after its Q3 2014 earnings.

Now of course, it could be different this time. Subscriber growth came in as expected, but guidance was much lower than estimates. Plus, the increased competition from companies like Amazon and Hulu could make the landscape totally different.

On the other hand, the company is pivoting towards original content and its customers are the most loyal of any streaming service.

So the future of the company may seem unprecedented, but today’s stock drop certainly isn’t.

Intel to slash 12,000 jobs (INTC)

Trading was briefly halted on Intel ahead of earnings on news that it plans to cut 12,000 jobs, or 11% of its workforce.

Here are the reported numbers for Q1 2016.

EPS (non-GAAP): $0.54 vs $0.49 expected.

Revenue: $13.8 billion vs $13.984 expected.

The company is in the middle of a revamp as it hopes to overcome a years-long slump in PC sales, and do a better job capitalizing on the rise of mobile devices, which have typically been dominated by chips designed and built by rivals like ARM and Qualcomm.

The company’s latest big push has been into the “Internet of things” — basically, getting its chips into all sorts of household and common objects to let them communicate with each other and apps over networks, including the public Internet.

Recently, an executive that Intel hired from Qualcomm, Venkata “Murthy” Renduchintala, slammed the company in an internal memo, citing “lack of product/customer focus in execution that is creating schedule and competitiveness gaps in our products." 

The company was recently reported to be planning layoffs of "thousands,” according to OregonLive.
