What's Behind the Reading
July 17, 2026Netflix's current oversold RSI reading reflects significant recent downward pressure on its stock, which is trading 19.0% below its 50-day moving average and nearly 48.53% off its 52-week high. This decline follows the release of its Q2 2026 earnings report on July 16th, where the company beat EPS estimates but narrowly missed revenue forecasts and provided a softer-than-expected Q3 guidance. The market reacted negatively, with the stock plunging over 8% after the announcement. Concerns about slowing revenue growth, increased competition in the streaming sector, and a modest 2% increase in viewing hours in the first half of 2026, despite substantial content spend, appear to be weighing on investor sentiment. The company's decision to reduce its customer engagement data reporting to annually, starting in Q1 2027, also contributed to investor unease.

Methodology
The verdict on this page is mechanical: we compute the 14-day Relative Strength Index with Wilder’s smoothing from NFLX’s daily closing prices, and apply the conventional thresholds — above 70 is overbought, below 30 is oversold. Moving averages, the 52-week range, and volume comparisons come from the same price history.
Indicators are recomputed after every market close. The AI commentary adds context from current news via grounded search, but never changes the computed verdict. Note: closes are as-traded; a stock split would distort readings for a few weeks until the window rolls past it.
