Tesla Up, Netflix Down, Hedge Funds Flipping 4/21/22

Famed shortseller Bill Ackman and his firm Pershing Square dumped its stake in Netflix yesterday following the streaming service company’s disappointing quarterly report. Netflix lost 200,000 subscribers in its latest quarter and expects to lose an additional 2 million subscribers in its next quarter, prompting the stock’s worst trading day in over 17 years. CNBC’s Phil LeBeau breaks down the key takeaways from Tesla’s first-quarter earnings results, which beat Wall Street’s estimates. Florida state lawmakers are working to pass a bill that would eliminate Disney’s special self-governing status in the state. CNBC’s Robert Frank reports on how this could impact Florida residents, and Florida State Rep. Randy Fine, who filed the House legislation, discusses whether it was spurred by the company’s response to Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. Plus, Melvin Capital is attempting a rebrand, Carl Icahn calls out Wall Street ‘hypocrisy’ over ESG investing in a letter to McDonald’s shareholders.
