Netflix has had a fantastic start to 2024 by adding a whopping 9.33 million new paying subscribers in the first three months of the year. This is a lot more than what experts predicted! By the end of March, Netflix had an outstanding total of 269.60 million subscribers worldwide. It is indeed remarkable.
Why? Partly due to the content.
Line up including “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” “3 Body Problem” from the creator of “Game of Thrones,” and many other original films and series kept the audience hooked.
In the United States and Canada, 2.53 million new subscribers signed up. Similarly, Netflix revealed new subscriber additions from various parts of the world.
But it’s not just about adding subscribers; Netflix also did really well in making money. They made $9.37 billion in revenue during the first quarter, which is a 15% increase from the same time last year. That’s a lot of money let us tell you!
Their earnings per share, a way to measure a company’s profitability, was $5.28.
Looking ahead, Netflix predicts they’ll continue to do well. For the next quarter, they expect to earn $9.49 billion in revenue and have a net profit of $2.06 billion.
Overall, Netflix is feeling confident about the future. They’re estimating they’ll grow their revenue by 13% to 15% this year and aim to have an operating margin (the amount of profit a company makes from its sales) of 25%, which is higher than what they initially thought.
These data become even more special for us because it is perhaps the last year when the platform is revealing it. Netflix has officially announced it to not reveal quarterly earnings data from next year.
