US EditionNetflix beats revenue estimates as subscribers reach 325 million
Netflix reported $12 billion in Q4 revenue and grew paid memberships to over 325 million, driven by ad-supported tier growth and hit shows like Stranger Things 5.
- On Tuesday, Netflix will report fourth-quarter earnings after the bell, with investors focused on its pending $72 billion Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition.
- In recent years, Netflix stopped reporting subscriber numbers and said it had more than 300 million global subscribers while shifting to grow an advertising-supported business, and its stock dropped nearly 30% since October rumors.

- Facing pressure, Netflix amended its offer this week to be all-cash as Paramount Skydance launched a hostile effort to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, and regulators question approval.
- The proposed acquisition came as a shock because Netflix has long avoided industry consolidation and mega-deals, while in recent years Netflix's quarterly reports have been mostly steady aside from a one-time charge last quarter.
