Netflix (ISIN US64110L1061) was trading at EUR 63.01 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026, at 9:31 a.m. CEST, 4.76 percent below the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 66.16. The company will publish third-quarter results on October 20, a release date reported by Trivano.

Three events set the earnings frame

Netflix reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 12.56 billion on July 16, 2026, up 13.40 percent from the prior-year quarter, while diluted earnings per share reached USD 0.80 and the operating margin was 33.40 percent, according to InsiderFinance. On September 14, Netflix announced that its third-quarter letter would be posted at approximately 1:01 p.m. Pacific Time. On October 20, the company is scheduled to publish the quarter's results.

What does guidance mean for margins?

Management's third-quarter guidance calls for USD 12.86 billion in revenue and a 33.20 percent operating margin, according to InsiderFinance. That would put revenue 2.39 percent above the second-quarter figure, while the margin target is 0.20 percentage points below the latest reported margin. The contrast makes the release more than a growth check: investors will also measure whether profitability holds as Netflix expands advertising and content spending.

Analyst targets remain divided

KeyCorp lowered its Netflix target from USD 92.00 to USD 85.00 on October 13, 2026, while keeping an Overweight rating, according to MarketBeat. The same report cited a USD 94.53 average target from its analyst panel. Against the lower USD 85.00 target, the Lang & Schwarz price implies a 25.73 percent gap in different currencies, so that comparison is directional rather than a euro return calculation.

Dates investors can measure

Netflix's third-quarter results are scheduled for October 20, 2026, after the Nasdaq session, with a management video interview at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time, according to Trivano. The immediate tests are revenue against USD 12.86 billion and margin against 33.20 percent guidance.
