Looking ahead, Mahaney pointed to upcoming events like Christmas Day National Football League games, the release of “Squid Games II,” and the addition of WWE Raw in January as potential drivers for growth. With 32 out of 48 analysts giving Netflix a strong buy or buy rating, it’s clear that optimism is high on Wall Street.
