How Netflix Stock Gained 15.3% Last Month
Shares of (NASDAQ: NFLX) rose 15.3% in February 2026, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. It wasn't a smooth ride to the top, but a bumpy road with 9.1% price drops twice along the way. And then, the video-streaming pioneer closed out the month with a 26.6% run in the last five days.
You see, Netflix dodged a massive albatross in the last week of February (I take my metaphors shaken, not stirred). It looks like Paramount Bluesky (NASDAQ: PSKY) will acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD), because Netflix has officially canceled its $83 billion bid for the target company's content studio and streaming services.
You can call it a lost opportunity, but investors had dropped Netflix's stock price more than 40% below last summer's all-time peak for a reason. Assuming Netflix had won Warner Bros. Discovery's shareholder vote and passed the regulatory reviews, the company would have taken on more than $70 billion of new debt to finance its all-cash offer.
