It was exciting for Netflix investors on Thursday evening.
Netflix earned significantly more in the first business quarter of 2025. The result per share started from $ 5.40 to $ 6.76 and was therefore above the analyst estimates, which had amounted to an EPS of $ 5.67 in advance. The bottom line was that the quarter gain jumped up by 24 percent to $ 2.89 billion.
The proceeds also developed significantly positively: sales rose from $ 9.37 billion to $ 10.54 billion. Here the streaming service was also above the expert estimates, analysts had previously expected sales of $ 10.50 billion.
Netflix was also over the expectations of the analysts with forecasts for the current quarter. At the same time, the group left the outlook for the whole year – which, given the strong start, testifies to caution.
It was the first quarter in which Netflix no longer gives information about the development of the number of customers, but focuses on finances. Netflix had completed the past year with 301.6 million customer households. In the final quarter, in which the service showed two games of the Football League NFL live for the first time at Christmas, almost 19 million customers were added.
In the last quarter of last year, 55 percent of new customers opted for this in the countries where Netflix offers a cheaper subscription with advertising. And the number of customers in the advertisement model rose by 30 percent within three months.
The advertising subscription helps Netflix to keep customers who may want to spend less money on streaming. After US President Donald Trump’s customs circuit, US consumers look more skeptical into the future. At the same time, the Netflix strategy also makes more dependent on the advertising business, which can suffer in times of weak economy.
The Netflix share showed 3.39 percent higher at NASDAQ in the post-market Thursday trade at $ 1,006.00.
