Netflix Stock Drops 90% Post 10-for-1 Split, Maintaining Shareholder Value
Netflix did a special sale on its stocks.
Instead of one stock costing $10, they made it so you get 10 stocks for the same price.
So, each stock now costs $1.
This makes it easier for more people to buy Netflix stocks, but the total value of all stocks stayed the same.
Netflix stock opened at $111 on Monday, a 90% decrease from its previous closing price of around $1,140.
The significant price drop is a result of a declared 10-for-1 stock split, making shares more affordable.
Shareholders of record on November 10, 2025, received nine additional shares for each share owned.
The stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on Monday, November 17, 2025.
A stock split does not alter the company's overall value or shareholder equity, but makes shares more accessible.
