In 2024, Netflix’s stock surged by 91.4%, outperforming its peers in the entertainment industry. Despite a slowdown in subscriber growth, the company’s financials remain strong, with revenue growing by 15% and operating margin expanding to 30%. Netflix aims for $43-44 billion in revenue in 2025, showing a balanced approach to growth and profitability.

Netflix’s entry into sports entertainment with a $5 billion deal with WWE marks a strategic diversification move. The company’s 2025 content slate includes popular series like Stranger Things and films like Frankenstein. Financially, Netflix’s free cash flow reached $2.2 billion in Q3 2024, with reduced net debt and successful bond issuance.

Investors should consider Netflix’s evolving business model and competition in the streaming landscape. The stock’s recent surge has led to increased valuation multiples, signaling a potential limit to future upside.
