What a difference a year makes. Netflix, the tech industry’s golden child last spring, has been struggling to overcome a series of missteps it made later in 2011.

However, Netflix is expected to report a net loss of $9 million to $27 million for the quarter. It is also expected to post sales growth, in the range of 21 percent. If this proves to be accurate, it will be an improvement from third-quarter 2011 when it was hemorrhaging subscribers and revenue.
