  1. >The company beat financial expectations for the fourth quarter of 2025. Netflix reported quarterly revenue of $12.01 billion, up 17.6%, and net income of $2.41 billion, translating to 56 cents per share. On average, Wall Street analysts expected Netflix to post Q4 revenue of $11.97 billion and earnings per share of 55 cents, according to LSEG Data & Analytics.

    >Netflix has stopped reporting subscribers on a quarterly basis, but said it would release them when it hit certain milestones. “With over 325M paid memberships, we’re now serving an audience approaching one billion people globally,” the company said in its shareholder letter. In the second half of 2025, Netflix users members watched a collective 96 billion hours on the service, up 2% year over year (compared with a 1% increase in the first half of the year). That was driven by viewing of Netflix originals, which was up 9% year over year in the second half of 2025.

  2. I just watched Adolescence last night. What a heavy series. It was good and I LOVED that it was all one shot. It kept me 100% engaged that way and invested in the emotions. Like I couldn’t look away given the one long shot.

    Wish more series went that route

  3. > Netflix also disclosed ad revenue for the first time: In 2025, the company’s third year selling advertising, ad revenue came in at more than $1.5 billion, up more than 2.5-fold over 2024.

    Jesus.

  4. Redditors on their way to say that no one watches Netflix and literally everything on the service is unwatchable:

    So all of the complaining from online consumers about price increases and stopping of shared accounts at different addresses was complete and total hot air.

    More people are happily paying than ever before. And we consumers wonder why we have no power!

    I wish they’d spend more on making films rather than series. I get so tired of watching a story go on for 6-8 hours when it could’ve been an easy 2 hour movie.
