we start with netflix.hares have fallen sharply, down almost 12% in after hours trading after the tv streaming giant released disappointing results. netflix has shaken up the world of tv with its rapid growth, but that growth seems to be slowing down as it puts up its prices. let's show you some of the details. in the three months to the end ofjune, netflix had 151.6 million paid subscribers. that's a rise of 2.7 million on this time last year. almost half the five million the company itself was forecasting. in the us netflix actually lost subscribers for the first time ever. revenues were just over $4.9 billion dollars, up 26% on this time last year, but again slightly less than wall street was expecting. the compa ny‘s market position is under threat like never before. next year it will lose the rights to its two most popular shows, the office and friends, as owners nbc and warnermedia launch their own streaming services. disney and apple are also launching rival services. that means netflix is spending e

has, number one. >> they're not trying to be netflix, and they don't have to be netflix to win, right> they don't. but they also don't have the breadth of menu to appeal to so many different people. >> right they have legacy content, and the legacy content is very familiar to the families in this country and it is something that people want. so i agree with you. >> absolutely. >> they don't have the breadth, but i think there's more value in their content versus what netflix is curating. >> but who is writing the check? is the 8-year old watching "beauty and the beast" writing the check each month. >> you have children you understand with junior comes up and says, i want to watch whatever it is on disney, you're going to write that $8 check, right? >> no, i'm not going to tell him, no, look, you should watch "lou black" instead. >> exactly. >> mel, you want to draw a parallel, or maybe you did, joe, with quickster i don't think that's the right one. you may want to find this provocative. i'm not doing it to be provocative. some people may be angry when i say this. >> i can't wait to h

think netflix is crowded?> yes, it is crowded. people underweight in ibm had to chase it, people underweight in disney had to chase it because they were waiting for it to break out on the range and it is holding. >> let's bring in "fast money" friend gene munster for more reaction what do you make of this big miss how would you explain 2.7 million versus 5 expected? >> they probably pulled 1.4 million from the december quarter but it capture the significance of the miss. >> they should have accounted for it in their miss, they should have said four instead of five. >> i have listened to your commentary i don't like to pile on when things are negative, but i want to try to have a most clear view of what is going on and what has happened even if you account for a pull forward they didn't give proper guidance for, this is negative this -- i think we will look back at this quarter as one of the pivotal moments in the netflix story. i think what the key insight here is that the content line-up that they had in the

wonder if any analyst or netflix watchers are talking about just hold up netflix handles q2 we've wondered this price hike before a weak con alternate quarter. was that maybe a mistake to do it i'm kind of wondering, was it maybe on purpose, so they just know q2 is often garbage, so why not kitchen sink it? >> that's a good question. i think if this, intentional, then they probably had not forecast that they were going to add 5 million subscribers in the quarter. there certainly was an element of surprise netflix itself but i think one thing that's interesting as we looking going forward, what happened in q2 and what could happen in the second half of the year is one analyst, one morgan stanley analyst said they're less concerned about the loss of shows like netflix and "the office" and more concerned about making sure they find new hits like "stranger things." the model seems to be shifting and subscriber additions are really all about having those big flagship shows that can bring people on to the platform. >> paul, is that part of the risk when you talk about netflix, losing some of the

and netflix having a tough week. and that's got an impact on psychology and on the construction of the big tech etfs, et cetera. there's a lot of flow-through with that story. >> how important is it to our -- >> i think it will always be important psychologically, where it's the faang names considered to be tech or -- at the end of the day they're very big caps. people look at it for sentiment, what the biggest, most well-run -- 25% of the it s&p, and it's the reason we are where we are, the big value stocks have not done much a lot of people if the momentum will continue, you need the leadership i don't think that's controversial. >> you know, your story is one of the important stories, which is csx down 10%. >> a wild move >> trying to understand what's going on you talked to the ceo earlier, but not a lot of answers really. >> yeah. i think what they had said is what we have been seeing, a softening in the industrial part of the economy manufacturing have been softer, some of the commodities, the intermodal side o

not good news for netflix on.worse news for everybody else >> does that mean that everybody was chasing netflix. this is an illusory experiment and everybody is racing in this same game trying to spend an enormous amount of money, because they've seen the success of netflix >> if you take what reed hasteing says, take price into your programing. you say, okay, well, that means there the a segment here that's going to be price resistant. well, if you want to be service two, service three, service four, there is obviously going to be a lot more head winds there than people may have originally thought if it's about programing, netflix is spending $15 billion on original programing dwarfing what everybody else is spending combined if it is about programing, everybody else will have a tougher time with introducing new hits all the time than netflix likely is. so i think while this certainly shows that we are dealing with some segments of the consumer streaming audience, that is going to be resistant here and may switch

have been staples at netflix. that is "the office" and also friends friend. that's gone. they -- "friends." seeing major competition with disney plus, universal comcast coming to battle them. disney plus with marvel. they have "star wars" under their belt. those are some big swingers. melissa: i think we are supposed to go to deirdre real quick with more headlines. third quarter global streaming paid in net additions they see seven million. that is the number i was trying to get before. give us more color. >> that is a reason why you will hear the bulls talk about netflix going forward, being a strong play, best in class in the streaming category. i want to explain a little bit some pressure we're seeing on the stock in after-hours. this is about additional international subscribers ads. we're pretty saturated. analysts were expecting 4.7 million additions internationally. netflix posted for the second quarter 2.8 million. that is making the stock sink like a stone right now. i also want to highlight as far as dom

strong netflix numbers? it's going to be the providers of content. disney has its own content so they are going to have an edge in that viewpoint but also, the other movie producers out there, this is the golden time for them. if you have a tv show idea, this is the time to come up with it, because they are going to need a lot of space. the more people you have in this space, the more content you are going to have to produce and they are going to be the companies that are really going the benefit from this, you know, from this war that we are seeing in the streaming space. liz: i know you said producers, but boy, the writers who are watching right now, they are saying oh, no, you're killing us. it's the writers who come up with the ideas. >> there you go. the little people out there. they are the ones we have to remember. liz: let me tell you, the writers are now the big people. great to see you. we are keeping an eye on netflix, down about three quarters of a percent right now. but not just netflix coming o

the entire story has been netflix, netflix, netflix.ing any time soon we think in our forecasting we think netflix is going to stay in the number one position until 2025, perhaps even later they have achieved such massive scale already. it's going to take disney a couple of years to reach the tens of millions of subscribers domestically to reach 150 million subscribers will take a long time. apple has a huge captive market because of its hardware penetration, but they are sort of -- apple is going for an amazon model, doing a bit of everything not just video yeah netflix's position is not exactly challenged just yet. in the 2020s that will look different. >> netflix is seeming to insist they're not going to offer ads on their platform. how much of this advertising strategy is playing out? because we know a lot of competitors willoffer ads in commercials, is this something netflix can stick with if they want to be competitive >> they even went further, they said any reports suggesting that we will release sort of an ad-funded model is to

you would think that netflix...is doing, which an organisation like the bbc isn't able to do at the moment, and the momentum seems to be with you rather than with the old way of distributing stuff through linear channels. that is a problem for old school organisations, isn't it? well, it's the coupling... when public funding and regulations come together, so in this way, you're able to innovate outside of that regulatory system, but i do think that even in that world, the innovation that comes out of something like the iplayer was way ahead of its time, and they way that people adapted to the way that they watch and all those things. so it was just a matter of how these programmes are available, relative to the business models with producers. the ideas, how you make sure these platforms and networks all remain relevant, and they way to do that is to give the consumers what they want first, and then figure out the business model after. where going the other way around i think ends up with a very frustrating experienc

netflix had 130,000 fewer u.s.ubscribers at the end of the second quarter versus the first quarter. that is the first time that's happened since 2011 after netflix launched a new pricing model that was widely rejected by customers globally netflix added 2.7 million subscribers, far less than the 5 million forecast. on the conference call the company attributed lower growth in part to its program lineup during the quarter >> this is one where we forecasted high. there was no one thing if i think about three years ago, we were also light. we never really were confident of the explanation then we were 2 billion in quarterly revenue. now we're going 5 billion. it's easy to overinterpret the quarter membership ads >> the slowdown comes as competition is set to ramp up in the coming months. disney, apple, warner media and comcast nbc universal are launching rival services sparking what some are calling the streaming wars they're also taking their content from netflix including "friends" and "the office. the company is pl

it's interesting, you mention the content but of course netflix is $0011 content but of course netflixt below shows, things like the friends back catalogue will be moved to another platform and. yeah, and all of this isa sign platform and. yeah, and all of this is a sign of the competition. when you first enter and you are that really new breakthrough honeymoon period, you haven't really got anybody competing with you. now, of course, there's competition out there and it's really showing, particularly in the virtual space. when you think about physical goods, you've got really high barriers to entry because you've got to set up distribution systems around the world. this is all virtual. this is all streaming. this is over the internet, so in a way the barriers to entry are much lower than they would be in other sectors and it's the sign of the world today. and interestingly more competitors $0011 and interestingly more competitors soon to launch, but we'll talk more about that in the news review later on. inge, for now, thanks very much. —— inga. nearly six months since 248 people were

netflix originals. ten of the top most watched shows are netflix originals.age that friends or the office has, yes, it's a popular show. there are three things that drive netflix. one is new sub, two is low return and the price value relationship "friends" is not the key to any of that. it's the original production that drives all of that. >> if it's a yawn for netflix, is it not a particular advantage for hbo max trying to charge a comparable comparable monthly subscription fee to netflix? >> at&t warner has to manage the decline of the traditional business while trying to build a new streaming business and this hurts on the traditional side they're obviously giving up a lot of license fees. $100 million a year just on this show they have some melting ice cube problems like directv which is something that they have to balance in the midst of trying to build a new streaming world i think it's something that shows some commitment to building some streaming. i think it enhances it in some ways but look, 10,000 hours of programming on streaming just in one year

i believe netflix, between the movies, the shows, you can get a whole month of netflix for less than the cost of a movie ticket. throw in the candy, forget about it i figure people wouldn't blanch at a price increase. yet that's exactly what happened here we thought netflix was the kind of company that could raise prices without impunity. if that's the case we need to take it you out of the bin of consistency and put it in episodic heaven forbid, episode i cal i have no idea what i pay for netflix. i have my own funny picture of when they ask me who is watching a 235few years ago in preparatin for interviewing the ceo, i called at 2:30 to ask a question i wanted to know my best bet for a movie from stalin to go to berlin to end the war in the east watch a movie directed by stalin wasn't bad i will gladly double what i'm currently paying for netflix, whatever the heck it is. turns out -- i'm not representative of the broader customer base. in other words, i know we're thinking netflix is like costco or spotify or apple. all the services people pay for without thinking about it. if it'

i do not think anyone is taking subs away from netflix. i just think they will compete for wallet share, and new subs are going to choose the new programs if they have smoke is a not very much money. they will choose netflix that they had a lot of money, and they will choose is the amount that they have even more money. i think it is divided conquer. i think netflix wins overall the subscriber war, but i do not think they win the cash flow war. emily: all right. shares trading at $362 of these, 13%.hey are down michael packer of wedbush, lucas shaw, thank you. hours orsing after revenue dropped for the fourth consecutive quarter, cloud revenue was up more than 3%. remember, iv and is billion-dollar acquisition of it hat last week and hopes will compete with cloud leaders like amazon and microsoft. ,oming up, all eyes on facebook and david marcus once again as he faces regulators once again on capitol hill. and if you like bloomberg news, check us out on the radio, check us out on the app, on bloomberg.com, and listen to us on sirius xm. th

so not a perfect overlap with netflix. doesn't have much in the way of deep local international content the way netflix does they've got a lot of work to do in terms of optimizing their mobile experience for a lot of these international markets. so we're on the front end of increasing competition some at lower price points, some higher, as you saw with warner, for example. but again, we think this is going to be a very manageable and modest headwind for the incremental subscriber for netflix. >> matthew, thank you for your time matthew thornton of suntrust. >> thank you. >>> amazon's two-day prime day is over. and the company says it was even bigger for them than black friday courtney reagan joins us with the numbers you need to know hi, court. >> hi, tyler if we only knew how big black friday was for amazon, this could make this equation easier. but there is a lot of things we could say. let's stick with the three big ones first, amazon says it sold more than 175 million items during the 48-hour event, topping its black f

netflix shares are sinking today. following a big miss for global paid subscriber growth in the second quarter but, netflix not blaming its competition for fewer people signing up instead, ceo reed hastings says its content slate simply was not strong enough. seema mody, content is still king, but do you buy it? what's the lack of good shows or competition? >> i think it's competition when you look overseas. there are a growing number of local competitors, streaming players offering localized content in countries like indonesia, thailand and india at 50% of a discount to netflix why would you buy netflix if you are sitting in india and want access to "game of thrones" or other great shows? >> i brought this to you because every time i look at your instagram, you're in another country. literally. i'm in london, india >> she's our travel reporter >> we have a travel reporter >> it's seema mody >> oh, my gosh we've been here too long what are people talking about? are they talking about netflix is it on the tongue like i

netflix.nd it takes on netflix technology is hard and netflix, that's all they do i think there is something to be said for the only thing netflix does is streaming video. all the other companies we can talk about they do many other things. i think that's a distraction or makes it hard to focus purely on streaming. look, it certainly argues, you think about sun valley, it argues, all of these companies need to get bigger i heard david on here yesterday, you asked him if he was for sale he said no way discovery is for sale. there may not be a buyer because companies like comcast and disney and via com, cbs haven't merged yet there will be consolidation. >> i was thinking 16 billion or so that's a big number. you'd have to take 30, wouldn't you? >> comcast is a pretty big company. disney is a big company, via koym and cbs. >> wouldn't you have to take 35 oring? >> the headwinds are not going o'way, i call the next five years the let in flicks era, the netflix effect core cuting is getting worse

netflix, though, is in a niche. it is not representative of what will happen with apple, certainly not with anything happening in semiconductors with respect to trade. there are many different issues facing technology right now and i think that netflix offers something, but not a really big read through for the broader tech sector. romaine: when you think about this idea that these large cap stocks are what got us here, there has been speculation about how small caps play into this. we have not seen them really participate in the rally, at least on a relative basis with the rest of the market, is that something that is attractive or do you wait this cycle out? ann: i think it is something investors should pay attention to. in the last 20 years, there has only been four times where the small-cap stocks or russell 2000 has led by more than 10%, and we are in that cycle right now where the russell 2000 is lagging by more than 30%. in those prior events, that gap has closed rather quickly, actually. so this one hasbro m

. >> let's get right to it because netflix is on deck for earnings next week. most of those gains came in january, but the stock is still 10% from its all-time high the options market has made a 6% move in either direction dan thinks new highs are in play dan? >> but not right now and i'll tell you why it's not a trade stock it's not one that has adverse effects on a strong dollar but it is a stock that has unusual sentiment into it. there are a loft of investors that have concerns in this they started out the week putting out a tweet talking about how many people in the first four days of "stranger things" season 3, i think 40 million people watched it in the first four days. that's the six-day chart, okay, since basically this news has been out there and it closed dead in the lows of the week, which is kind of odd. almost down 2% the stock has had a big run over the last month and a half or so, kind of keeping pace with the nasdaq or so so when you think about that 6.5% after earnings next week, that's shy of the amount it's moved on average over four quarter

the noose is tightening for netflix. here ineggy, washington, when it comes to --flix and how big a problem to netflix, how big a problem is the streaming we are seeing from the likes of disney and hbo? peggy: we are seeing apple coming out with a streaming service, disney, and others like at&t and comcast. the competition is mounting, and they are showing some weakness internationally, which is where we are seeing a lot of companies really do well. if that is starting to struggle, they could be in for the long haul. alix: this also highlights that some companies are having a hard time passing through priced increases. what have you noticed so far? reporter: it is a mixed bag. you are seeing around the world luxury companies are feeling certain macro events. industrial space took a massive hit. i think they were down the most since 2008. we will see a lot of terrorist -- a lot of tariff concern and economic outlook concern. if you look at the investments they are having to make in technology, if you look at the week cons

a lot is attempting to cut into netflix. netflix at least until today hasn't flinched. thing is to take money off the table, but i do think things rally post earnings. >> come petition and all of the shows they're going to bring back and pricing, et cetera, those are catalysts for the other. >> it could be catalyst. look how comcast and disney acts, they make new highs every day. i think it is one reason the stock has consolidated the way it has over the last few months as money flowed into the other ones, but they're not getting massive result any time soon basically they gave us long-term guidance for their targets on subscribers and profitability, but in the meantime netflix may have a bit of a runway they put up the price increases earlier in the year, they have a lot of original content. the way i see it that's the only reason you're in netflix, is the original contact we know a lot of stuff is going back to warner and that sort of stuff, so longer term it is a more challenged story but in the meantime it may have a run. >> one thing i would like to say about the o
