Our model: 1.8 million. Before Netflix’s Q2 2026 results, our viewing-based model pointed to substantially stronger U.S./Canada subscriber additions than the Street proxy cited in our report. We published the difference, the scenario range, and the model’s known blind spot. WHY THIS MATTERS TO AN INVESTMENT TEAM An independent estimate to challenge the prevailing view, with enough detail to assess the evidence before earnings. NETFLIX / Q2 2026 SUBSCRIBER ESTIMATES PUBLISHED JULY 14, 2026 ### Two very different reads on the quarter. Estimated net subscriber additions. U.S. & Canada. #### Street proxy cited in the report +270 K #### PeerLogix model estimate +1.8 M THE RANGE MATTERS Middle half of modeled scenarios: +850K to +2.7M. AFTER THE JULY 16 RESULTS Netflix’s letter highlighted healthy acquisition and retention. It did not publish subscriber counts, so 1.8 million remains a model estimate, not a confirmed result. Source: PeerLogix’s July 14, 2026 pre-earnings report, p. 2, and July 17 results review, p. 2. Full modeled scenarios ran from about zero to +3.6M. Pricing and account-policy changes are a known blind spot.

Our July report also set out a viewing-growth forecast that could be checked against Netflix’s own publication. JULY 14, 2026 ~+2 % PeerLogix forecast → JULY 16, 2026 +2 % Company-reported growth H1 2026 year-over-year viewing growth, documented in our July 17 review. Panel evidence informed direction; public disclosure history calibrated magnitude. Revenue, EPS, and guidance calls were weaker.

Similar hours. Fewer homes. In our July results review, 119 returning franchises delivered 95% of the previous season’s viewing hours worldwide, but reached just 78% as many households. The engagement headline held up. The breadth of the audience did not. WHY THIS MATTERS TO AN INVESTMENT TEAM Separate loyal-fan engagement from the reach needed to attract additional households. They tell different stories about the growth potential of a content slate. NETFLIX / RETURNING SEASONS HISTORICAL RESEARCH / JULY 2026 ### 95% of the hours. 78% of the households. 119 returning franchises, 2024–26. Worldwide, compared with the prior season. PREVIOUS SEASON = 100% ↓ #### Viewing hours 95 % Nearly as much viewing. #### Households reached 78 % Substantially fewer homes. WHAT THE HEADLINE MISSES Hours largely held up. Household reach was substantially lower. PeerLogix’s July 17, 2026 results review, p. 3. 119 returning franchises, 2024–26, worldwide; prior season = 100%. Exact ratios: 95.4% for hours and 77.7% for households. Viewing households are not paying accounts. [Read the finding and methodology ↗](https://peerlogix.com/research/nflx-2q2026-results.pdf#page=3) 10 of 12 OF THE LARGEST RETURNING FRANCHISES ### Reached less than 85% of their previous audience. The report’s two exceptions were Stranger Things and Arcane . The household shortfall extended across the major franchises, rather than coming from a single weak show. [See the franchise finding, p. 3 ↗](https://peerlogix.com/research/nflx-2q2026-results.pdf#page=3) 03 / A specific risk in the next slate ## The December question: What replaces the hits? Stranger Things and The Witcher accounted for 58.1 points of viewing contribution in our July slate analysis. The announced late-2026 returners modeled at 27.8. That left less than half of the departing contribution covered. WHY THIS MATTERS TO AN INVESTMENT TEAM Locate the risk in a specific quarter and tie the thesis to observable events: the release calendar and the audience those shows actually deliver. NETFLIX / DECEMBER SLATE ANALYSIS AS PUBLISHED JULY 17, 2026 ### The shows behind the replacement gap. Panel-viewing contribution, in points. Both bars use the same scale. #### Viewing to replace 58.1 Stranger Things 42.3 The Witcher (prior season) 15.8 #### Announced replacements 27.8 Led by The Witcher S5 and The Gentlemen S2 . 48 % #### of the departing viewing covered. The announced slate, as it stood in July, left a substantial replacement gap. THE REPORT’S THESIS HAD A CLEAR TEST A major December release announcement could narrow the gap. A thin slate heading into the quarter would strengthen the concern. PeerLogix’s July 17, 2026 results review, p. 4. Both bars use the report’s panel-viewing contribution basis. 27.8 ÷ 58.1 ≈ 48%. A dated model of the slate known then, not a current release calendar or a revenue forecast. [Read the title-level slate analysis ↗](https://peerlogix.com/research/nflx-2q2026-results.pdf#page=4) What is behind the 48%? The report compares 58.1 points of departing viewing contribution with 27.8 points from announced late-2026 returners. Both use the same panel-viewing basis: 27.8 ÷ 58.1 ≈ 48%. A separate adjustment for how recent franchises had performed reduced modeled coverage to 45%. These are dated research assumptions to revisit as the slate and audience evidence change. Investor research in practice NFLX CLIENT TRADING EXAMPLE ## Viewing evidence. A trading decision. A media-sector hedge fund used PeerLogix’s daily title trends to trade NFLX and generated strong P&L. The fund used changes in engagement to inform its investment view before company reporting. This is a PeerLogix-reported historical client example, separate from the 2026 research illustrated above; no numerical return is published.

What does PeerLogix add to public company reporting? Independent title and platform viewing evidence between reporting dates. Analysts can investigate household reach, engagement, competitive context, and release performance, then compare that evidence with company disclosures and their own operating assumptions. Can viewing data tell us subscriber counts or predict the stock? Observed viewing households are not paying subscriber accounts. Historically tested relationships can inform estimates of subscriber momentum, with their assumptions and error ranges stated. Pricing, account changes, costs, and guidance require other evidence. The linked NFLX research does not establish an ability to predict the post-earnings stock move. How was the subscriber model tested? The July 14 report describes 15 forecasts tested on quarters when Netflix still reported U.S./Canada subscriber additions, using only information available before each result. It reports roughly 19% lower error than seasonal baselines and identifies the Q4 2024 password-crackdown quarter as a major miss. These historical tests do not verify the Q2 2026 estimate. See pages 7–8 of the report for the validation and limitations. Are these figures live or historical? The NFLX figures on this page come from the dated July 2026 reports and remain fixed as research examples. They are not current forecasts. Daily data delivery, available history, and coverage are agreed for each licensed workflow. Public chart and data views elsewhere on the site retain their own source dates and refresh schedules.
