Netflix shares are down about 6% in after-hours trading after weaker-than-expected Q3 2025 results. Revenue came in at $11.51 billion versus Bloomberg’s consensus of $11.52 billion (company forecast: $11.53 billion), and EPS at $5.87 versus $6.94 expected. The operating margin fell to 28% due to a one-off tax charge in Brazil. On the upside, Netflix guided above consensus for Q4, forecasting $11.96 billion in revenue and a 29% margin in 2025. User engagement was described as “healthy,” with future growth expected to be driven largely by its advertising business.

Japan’s exports rebounded 4.2% YoY in September (Bloomberg consensus: 4.6%, previous: -0.1%). The weaker than expected result was mainly due to a 13.3% drop in shipments to the US after new tariffs, offset by strong growth to Asia (+9.2%), China (+5.8%), and the EU (+5.0%), supported by demand for IT and semiconductor products. Imports rose 3.3%, driven by machinery and electrical equipment, indicating sustained capital investment. Despite the trade deficit, the data support Japan’s ongoing economic recovery and raise expectations for further BoJ rate hikes.
