Netflix on Thursday announced another quarter of steady growth as the video streaming service's more than 300 million subscribers have become increasingly attractive to advertisers.It's a familiar script that Netflix has followed for the past three years to widen its lead in video streaming while delivering financial results that have usually easily exceeded the analyst projections that steer investors.While Netflix's profit eclipsed Wall Street's expectations by a wide margin in the April-June quarter, its revenue came in right around the bar set by analysts. The Los Gatos, California, company earned $3.1 billion, or $7.19 per share, a 46% increase from the same time last year.
Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX, ETR:NFC) delivered another blockbuster quarter, beating estimates and raising its full-year outlook, yet its shares fell almost 5% with analysts pointing to sky-high investor expectations as the cause. Analysts at Bank of America and UBS largely agree on the strength of the streaming giant's fundamentals, attributing the market's tepid reaction more to Netflix's elevated valuation than any shortfall in the results themselves.
NFLX's top line gains from membership growth and higher pricing in the second quarter of 2025. The company raises its full-year 2025 revenue forecast.
Sales Netflix's developing ad-supported subscription tier are growing fast and could double in the coming year.
With NFLX topping EPS estimates and boosting its outlook, ETFs like FDN, FDND, FNGS, XLC and GGME could benefit from the surge.
The shares of Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) are down 4.5% to trade at $1,217.08 at last check, despite the streaming giant reporting a 46% profit increase for the second quarter and a 16% revenue jump.
Michael Morris, Guggenheim Securities senior managing director, joins CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' to discuss Netflix's latest earnings report.
Netflix, Inc.'s latest quarter impressed me, with strong revenue growth in UCAN and growth that went far beyond just currency tailwinds. Subscriber growth and retention remain robust, even after price hikes and with paid sharing and advertising still evolving. I'm cautious about Netflix's push into advertising and sports, fearing these could undermine its core value proposition.
Streaming giant Netflix NASDAQ: NFLX released Q2 2025 results on July 17, beating expectations on both sales and earnings for the seventh consecutive quarter. Despite this, markets weren't jumping for joy.
Netflix has delivered a robust Q2 beat and raise, yet the stock took a downturn during late trading. A deeper dive into management's disclosures shows Netflix's better-than-expected outlook is primarily driven by improved FX conditions on the weaker Dollar, rather than incremental outperformance from operations. This leaves limited mitigation against a tougher 2H24 compare. Despite the larger content slate in 2H25, it'll likely be difficult to match robust engagement acquired from prior year events.
