Netflix shares tumbled 25.65% in after-hours trade following the release of the streaming giant’s first-quarter results including an unexpected decline in net subscribers. For the period, Netflix reported revenue of US$7.78bn which fell short of expectations, and net subscribers fell by 200,000 which was also short of the expectation to add 2.51m during the quarter. Netflix also said it expects a further decline of 2m subscribers in the second-quarter.

The decision by the Transportation Security Administration followed a federal judge in Florida ruling that the Centres for Disease Control had overstepped its authority with the mask mandate on planes. Shares in Delta rose 2.11%, American Airlines jumped 5.66% and United Airlines rallied 4.5%.
