The close on Oct 30, 2026, was 53.6% below the highest close since Jul 11, 2024. That high was reached on Jun 30, 2025. When the S&P 500 rose or fell 1%, Netflix moved 0.20% on average in the same direction (past 252 trading days). The correlation of 0.07, however, shows only a moderate link to the broad market. Accordingly, moves in the S&P 500 explain only a small part of the daily price moves of Netflix.
