What happened

Check out the companies making the biggest moves premarket: Netflix — The streaming platform fell 10% as investors viewed the streaming giant's forecast as disappointing.

Why it matters

For its second quarter, Netflix expects to earn 78 cents per share, missing the 84 cents per share forecast from analysts polled by LSEG.

Common ground

The stock was also weighed down by co-founder and Netflix chairman Reed Hastings announcing he plans to leave the board in June when his term expires.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
