Netflix Stock Performance Overview

Netflix’s stock (NASDAQ: NFLX) saw a 670% increase over the past decade, significantly outpacing the S&P 500’s 260% gain. The stock hit a record high of $133.91 per share on June 30, 2025, but has since fallen to approximately $77 due to various challenges, including slowing revenue growth and changes in subscriber reporting methods.

Notably, Netflix stopped reporting subscriber counts in Q1 2025, claiming that these figures had become less relevant with the rollout of ad-supported and paid sharing options. As a result, Netflix now plans to disclose engagement data annually by 2027. The company reported negative free cash flow (FCF) in its latest quarter and revenue growth has decelerated from 15.9% year-over-year in Q2 2025 to an anticipated 11.7% in Q3 2026.

On the financial front, Netflix’s revenue and earnings per share are expected to grow at compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) of 12% and 22% respectively from 2025 to 2028. While it may no longer replicate its past performance, Netflix maintains over 300 million global subscribers and continues to be viewed as a key player in the streaming media market.
