The share price of Netflix has seen an aggressive selloff following the group's fourth quarter (Q4) results release.
A summary of the results are as follows:
- Revenue $7.71 billion (in line with estimates)
- Earnings per share of $1.33 (ahead of consensus at $0.80)
- Net paid subscriber additions of 8.28 million (company guidance from third quarter results was for 8.5m)
While revenue for Q4 2021 was in line with estimates and earnings were ahead of consensus, net paid additions to subscriber numbers fell short of the company's previously issued guidance.
What was perhaps more disconcerting for investors was the soft guidance for first quarter (Q1) 2022 subscriber figures. Netflix is expecting to add only 2.5 million paid additions in the new quarter, which is nearly 40% lower than the net additions realized in Q1 2021.

While the share price has now moved into oversold territory, it remains in decline. The current major level of support comes in at 396.50, a break of which (confirmed with a close) sees 317.50 as a possible further downside support target.
