Netflix’s stock surged over 14% on Tuesday following the company’s impressive fourth-quarter results, which exceeded expectations on both revenue and earnings fronts. This performance marks a significant milestone for the streaming giant, driven by substantial growth in its subscriber base and a strong content line-up.

Key Highlights

  • Record Subscriber Growth: Netflix surpassed 300 million paid memberships, adding a record 19 million subscribers in the quarter.
  • Global Reach: Including “extra member accounts,” Netflix estimates its global audience exceeds 700 million.
  • Impressive Financials: The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $4.27, beating the expected $4.20, and revenue of $10.25 billion, surpassing the projected $10.11 billion.

Driving Factors Behind the Growth

Netflix credits its diverse and high-quality content slate, product enhancements, and typical fourth-quarter seasonality for this impressive growth. Co-CEO Ted Sarandos highlighted the importance of variety and quality across countries, regions, and genres, ensuring a strong programming lineup year-round.

Financial Performance at a Glance

Earnings per Share (EPS)$4.27$4.20
Revenue$10.25 billion$10.11 billion
Paid Memberships301.63 million290.9 million

Netflix’s net income for the quarter was $1.87 billion, up from $938 million a year earlier. Revenue saw a 16% year-over-year increase, showcasing the company’s robust financial health.

For the full year 2025, Netflix has raised its revenue expectations to a range of $43.5 billion to $44.5 billion, reflecting improved business fundamentals and the positive impact of its strong fourth-quarter performance. Moving forward, Netflix will replace its quarterly subscriber counts with a biannual “engagement report,” providing deeper insights into viewer habits.

 

Content Success

Netflix’s fourth-quarter lineup was a major contributor to its subscriber growth, featuring popular releases like season 2 of “Squid Game,” live sporting events including the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match, and NFL games on Christmas Day. Sarandos praised the retention of new subscribers drawn by these events, noting their engagement with other popular titles such as “Carry On,” “Black Doves,” and Nate Bargatze’s comedy special.

Netflix plans to bolster its core business with more series and films, enhance its product experience, and expand its ads business. Upcoming hits like the return of “Stranger Things” and “Wednesday,” along with new films from top directors, promise to keep subscribers engaged. Notable releases include the third “Knives Out” film, “The Electric State” starring Millie Bobby Brown, “Happy Gilmore 2” with Adam Sandler, and a new take on “Frankenstein” by Guillermo del Toro.

 

Price Adjustments and Advertising Growth

Netflix announced price increases for some streaming tiers by $1 to $2 per month. The cheaper, ad-supported tiers have shown significant growth, accounting for over 55% of sign-ups in available markets, with memberships up 30% quarter over quarter. The company aims to enhance its offering for advertisers to drive substantial growth in its advertising business.

As Netflix continues to innovate and expand its content offerings, the company remains well-positioned to maintain its leadership in the streaming industry.
