Netflix Inc. is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings on Thursday, with analysts projecting revenue growth of around 12% year-over-year to $10.5 billion and earnings per share of $5.73. In its own guidance, Netflix expects first-quarter 2025 revenue to grow by 11%, with full-year growth projected between 12% and 14%, aiming to achieve a $1 trillion market capitalization and to double its revenue by 2030.
The streaming giant ended 2024 with exceptional momentum, adding over 40 million paid subscribers during the year, including 18.9 million in the final quarter, bringing the total to 301.6 million. Growth was driven by a global crackdown on password-sharing and continued traction from its ad-supported tier. In January, Netflix raised prices in the United States once again, lifting the standard HD plan to $17.99 and the Premium to $24.99 per month.
As of the latest available data, "Adolescence," which was released on March 13, has accumulated 124.2 million views, positioning it as the third most popular English-language series on Netflix, following "Wednesday" and "Stranger Things 4." Meanwhile, tech noir favorite "Black Mirror" kicked off the second quarter with its April 10 return for Season 7, while "The Gentlemen" was confirmed to return for another eight-episode season with Guy Ritchie back at the helm.
