Netflix Press Release
These shareholders are saying that Netflix painted too rosy of a picture when it came to business, operations, and prospects.
Netflix said things were great, but they weren’t.
The shareholders lost money, and they are pissed.
In actuality, Netflix was dealing with “slower acquisition growth” and they were having some major “difficulties retaining customers.”
Not good, right?
In this lawsuit, they are looking for investors that “purchased or otherwise acquired Netflix, Inc. common stock or call options, or sold put options, between October 19, 2021 and April 19, 2022.”
What are they hoping will happen?
Well, they are wanting “compensatory damages…for all damages sustained as a result of Defendants’ wrongdoing, in an amount to be proven at trial, including interest thereon.”
Of course, we will let you know if and when anything happens with this lawsuit against Netflix.
