Stiff competition forces Netflix to slash subscription prices in more than 30 countries

According to the Wall Street Journal, the price cuts took place in some countries in the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Asia while TechCrunch reports that over 100 territories were affected by the price cut.

Recall in 2021, Netflix cut down subscription prices in India by a minimum of 18% and up to 60.1% as the company witnessed a decline in sales, the recent decision by Netflix however, affects a small fraction of its customer base in the affected countries.

Netflix stock witnessed its worst day in more than two months as it fell nearly 5% as the company witnessed intense competition from other streaming companies like Paramount+, Disney+, Apple TV+, HBO Max, Peacock, Hulu, etc
