Executive Summary
Netflix insiders, including Co-CEO Theodore Sarandos and Chief Legal Officer David Hyman, sold a combined $2.42M in open-market shares on August 4–5. The sales represent roughly 0.001% of the company's massive $306.8B market cap, making them economically trivial and likely liquidity-driven. Several directors also exercised options and sold shares for tax withholding, a routine non-cash event.
