Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX) shares fell more than 6% on Friday after Goldman Sachs downgraded the company, as the streaming giant is facing a slowdown in consumer spending and tough competition from Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Walt Disney Co (NYSE: DIS).
Goldman downgraded the stock to “sell” from “neutral” and slashed its price target to $186 from $265, the lowest among analysts and brokerage firms covering the stock.
