Netflix beats revenue estimates as subscribers reach 325 million

Netflix reported $12.1 billion quarterly revenue and surpassed 325 million paid subscribers while planning a 2026 mobile app redesign to expand short-form videos and podcasts.

  • On Jan 20 in Los Angeles, Netflix reported $12.01 billion in quarterly revenue and crossed 325 million paid subscriptions, narrowly surpassing estimates.
  • Higher pricing, membership growth and advertising revenue drove gains, boosted by strong viewing of Stranger Things 5, Netflix original, and NFL Christmas Day games.
  • Profitability metrics improved with operating income rising to roughly $3.0 billion and net income reaching $2.4 billion, while full-year revenue hit $45.2 billion and free cash flow totaled around $9.5 billion.
  • Shares fell after-hours when Netflix paused share buybacks and increased the bridge loan commitment by $8.2 billion to fund the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition.
  • Looking ahead to 2026, Netflix projects revenue between 51 and 52 billion dollars, expects advertising revenue to roughly double, and plans a mobile app redesign later in 2026.
