While Netflix stock is still above the low it sank to in April after a bleak earnings report and a forecast for up to 2 million subscriber losses in the current quarter, it is still at the lowest point since 2018.

In recent months, the company has acknowledged the need to boost the caliber of its original programming, which now accounts for more than half of the titles on the platform.
