Netflix's stock is down 13% on Tuesday, after the streaming video service's new subscriber additions came in way below expectations in the second quarter.

Netflix added 160,000 U.S. subscribers in the second quarter, compared to Wall Street's forecast of 509,000, and its international growth also missed targets.

The company blamed the lack of subscriber growth on the media's coverage of the "'un-grandfathering' of Netflix accounts" that resulted in price hikes for many subscribers.
