Netflix stock closed at USD 78.25 on the Nasdaq on September 4, 2026, losing 5.3% compared with the prior session. Market data show the shares moving between an intraday low of USD 78.23 and a high around the prior close near USD 82.67 as trading volume picked up in a weak broader market. According to a market wrap, the Nasdaq Composite also ended lower that day, underscoring the pressure on high-growth technology names amid rising interest-rate concerns.
September 4, 2026 in numbers
Netflix Inc. (ISIN US64110L1061, Nasdaq: NFLX) saw its stock price fall to USD 78.25 on the Nasdaq at the close on September 4, 2026, down from a previous finish of USD 82.67, a decline of 5.3% in a single session. MarketBeat price data indicate the shares traded as low as USD 78.23 during the day, with the high near USD 82.67, placing the close toward the bottom of the session range. The same data show elevated trading activity around mid-day as the stock moved lower alongside other growth-oriented names. In parallel, an overview of the major United States equity benchmarks reported that the Nasdaq Composite closed down roughly 0.3% on September 4, 2026, meaning Netflix underperformed its primary reference index by about 5 percentage points in that session.
Analyst commentary compiled at MarketBeat linked part of the move to renewed pressure on higher-multiple technology and media stocks as bond yields rose, while highlighting that Netflix shares have already declined by double digits year-to-date. On the company side, several reports, including a detailed note at TipRanks, pointed to Netflix raising subscription prices in the United Kingdom for the second time in 2026, with the ad-supported standard plan rising by more than 30% to GBP 7.99 per month. TipRanks and Seeking Alpha both emphasized that the United Kingdom accounts for a meaningful share of Netflix revenue in the EMEA region, framing the price increase as a strategic move that nonetheless coincided with the latest share-price drop.
Today’s drivers and upcoming dates
Today, September 5, 2026, there is no confirmed Netflix-specific event such as an earnings release or shareholder meeting due ahead of the United States opening bell in the available calendars, so attention remains on how investors digest Friday’s sharp decline. Earnings-calendar overviews for the span from August 30 to September 5, 2026, list multiple corporate reports but do not include Netflix for today, suggesting the next scheduled quarterly update will come later in the month. In the broader market, investors are still weighing the implications of the latest United States jobs report and the associated move higher in yields, factors that recently pressured the Nasdaq Composite and other major indices and could continue to influence sentiment toward streaming and technology stocks like Netflix as the new session begins.
