Netflix shares opened sharply higher, gaining 5.7% to reach $68.97 during regular trading hours after a stretch of selling pressure that had weighed on the stock. The rebound reflects a shift in trader sentiment, with buyers stepping back in after recent fears that drove the selloff appeared to cool.
The move off the open — from $65.27 — was decisive and swift, consistent with a rotation back into a name that had been under pressure rather than a response to a specific new catalyst. Price action through the session held well above the open, suggesting the buying was sustained rather than a quick spike and fade.
