Netflix (NFLX Quick QuoteNFLX - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2019 results after the closing bell on Wednesday. While the world's largest video streaming company beat on earnings estimates, it disappointed investors by losing U.S. subscribers for the first time in eight years and missing targets for overseas customers. As a result, shares of Netflix tumbled more than 13% in after-market hours (read: 5 Unbeatable ETF Strategies for 2nd Half).

Netflix Q2 Earnings in Detail

The company reported earnings per share of 60 cents, breezing past the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4 cents but declining from the year-ago earnings of 85 cents. Revenues climbed 26% year over year to $4.92 billion, which was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

Netflix added just 2.7 million new subscribers globally in the second quarter, missing the company’s own guidance of 5 million subscriber growth. It lost 126,000 subscribers in the United States versus the company’s 0.3 million expectation but added 2.8 million internationally, down from the projected 4.7 million. The weaker numbers were due to seasonality, price increase and quarterly content slate (see: all the Technology ETFs here).

For the second half, the online video streaming giant has a solid pipeline of global content slate, including new seasons of some of the biggest series — Stranger Things, Orange is the New Black, The Crown and La Casa de Papel (aka Money Heist) — as well as big films like Michael Bay’s Six Underground and Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman.  Driven by strong content shows, Netflix expects heavy viewership in the third quarter that will reverse the second quarter subscriber loss. It expects to add 7 million subscribers.

Revenues and earnings per share are expected to be $5.25 billion and $1.04 cents, respectively, for the third quarter. Revenue expectations are on par with the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while earnings per share projection is above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 97 cents.
