Netflix is set to report earnings Tuesday afternoon, with traders anticipating a move that could send the stock to a two-year low.

Netflix approaches Q3 earnings with a potential double bottom forming, as support holds and a breakout above $83.60 could open the way toward $102.12.

Netflix has replaced its chief content officer, Bela Bajaria, with former Disney executive Peter Rice. Rice brings a wealth of experience in television and film, including scripted and unscripted shows, live sports telecasts, prestige television and theatrical distribution.

The Dow looks to close higher for its second-straight week, while the Nasdaq hopes to avoid its worst trading week since July.

Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX, XETRA:NFC) Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria is leaving the streaming company after a 10-year run, with Disney veteran Peter Rice confirmed as her replacement, a day after Netflix announced layoffs affecting 6% of its staff.  Netflix shares were down 2% on Friday.

October has brought another wave of layoffs across the tech industry.

More bearish headlines for the AI trade hit Western Digital (WDC) and Seagate (STX) after Wells Fargo slashed price targets for both. Diane King Hall says the lower price targets don't necessarily indicate a heel turn from the firms' bullish stance.

Netflix Inc. is replacing its chief creative officer with Peter Rice, a veteran TV and film executive, as it tries to spur growth and find new hits. He'll be in charge of scripted and unscripted series, film and live events across all regions.

NFLX heads into Q3 earnings with expanding margins, rising ad commitments and pricing gains, but slowing viewership growth and a premium valuation cloud its outlook.

Mounting growth headwinds amid slowing engagement, intensifying competition and looming cyclical weakness have weighed on Netflix, Inc. stock's valuation in recent months. Yet traditional engagement metrics may be obscuring NFLX's ability to extract greater economics from its growing audience. Netflix's evolving content strategy, which includes a strengthening live sports slate, alongside resilient pricing power, underscores potentially overlooked monetization upside despite tepid engagement growth.
