Netflix has transitioned from a cash-burning growth company to a capital-return machine, repurchasing $5.9 billion in shares in just six months while maintaining $27.1 billion in remaining authorization. This signals management confidence that the business now generates durable excess cash beyond content reinvestment needs. The aggressive buyback pace at current valuations suggests management views the shares as undervalued relative to future cash generation.
