What happened
Netflix is reportedly planning to lay off about five percent of its workforce, potentially affecting up to 800 employees. This cost-cutting measure is the largest since 2022. The company lowered its full-year 2026 revenue forecast to a range of $51 billion to $51.4 billion.

Why it matters
The layoffs come amid increased competition from smaller streaming services and YouTube. Netflix's co-CEO Ted Sarandos stated the company is "not growing as fast as I want us to". The company's stock fell more than 8% following the release of the report.
