Why a Recession Could Be Good for Netflix

In just a few months, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has gone from a market darling to market disaster.

The stock price is down more than 70% from its peak last fall, and it's not just because tech stocks, in general, have pulled back. The streaming leader posted a surprise decline in subscribers in the first quarter and guided to a loss of 2 million in Q2.

A combination of pandemic hangover and rising competition seemed to zap the company's growth, and its formerly reliable formula of plowing billions into original content is no longer paying off.
