Netflix shares fall on soft revenue outlook as streamer faces layoffs and leadership changes

Netflix reported third-quarter earnings on Tuesday, and its shares fell as Wall Street reacted to a revenue forecast that was softer than expected.

An Evercore analyst said the streaming market has become more competitive and that Netflix needs to make some changes. Investors are looking for more detail on the company's strategy.
