Netflix subscribers are slamming that subscribe button. Cha-ching!

Fourth Quarter 2023 Netflix stocks jumped up 42% in the last three months
“added 13.1 million net new paid subscribers—50% more than Wall Street had projected, and the most the company has ever added in a single quarter save for the first quarter of 2020, when the Covid-19 outbreak sent the masses running home to their TV sets.”
Their crackdown on sharing of passwords and accounts was a huge success which was what really fueled the company’s recent growth. Their incorporation of new “live” programming is also a new campaign. We are basically back at cable tv days with all of these subscriptions trying to hoard the content.
“Netflix ended the year with 260.28 million subscribers, up almost 13% from a year earlier” - MSN
“Revenue increased 12.5% from a year earlier, to $8.8 billion in the final quarter of 2023, beating its expectations. Net profit for the period rose to $938 million, missing the company’s forecast of $956 million.”
