Netflix posted a battery of results on Thursday because revenues increased by 16% in the second quarter of 2025.
The company has updated its annual income forecasts, noting that it expects revenues to be between $ 44.8 billion and $ 45.2 billion, against a range of $ 43.5 billion at $ 44.5 billion. The higher forecasts of Netflix reflect the weakening of the US dollar compared to other currencies as well as the growth of members and sales of “healthy” announcements, the company said in a statement.
This is in particular the second quarter that Netflix does not publish quarterly updates on subscription data.
“The growth in income from one year to the next was mainly a function of more members, higher subscription prices and increased advertising revenue,” the company said in a statement.
Here is how the company did, in relation to the estimates of the analysts interviewed by LSEG:
- Profit by action: $ 7.19 against $ 7.08, according to LSEG
- Income: $ 11.08 billion against $ 11.07 billion, according to LSEG
The net profit for the period was $ 3.1 billion, or $ 7.19 per share, compared to $ 2.1 billion, or $ 4.88 per share, in the same quarter a year earlier.
Turnover in the second quarter jumped almost 16% from one year to the next, reaching $ 11.08 billion.
The company said that the net cash generated by operating activities during the quarter was $ 2.4 billion, up more than 84% compared to the period of the previous year. The available cash flows also increased, reaching $ 2.3 billion, an increase of 91%. Netflix has increased its free cash flow forecasts for the year a year to the year to 8 billion dollars and $ 8.5 billion, compared to around 8 billion dollars.
Netflix underlined its operating margin in the second quarter of 34.1%, an improvement of nearly 3 percentage points compared to the previous quarter and nearly 7 percentage points compared to the annual period.
However, he warned that “the exploitation margin in the second half of 2025 will be less than the first half due to the largest depreciation of content and sales and marketing costs associated with our largest slate in the second half”.
It is probably a question of knowing why the shares dropped by about 1% in the trade after the opening hours. The following two quarters present a robust calendar of events, shows and films, such as the second season of “Wednesday”, the final of “Stranger Things”, “Happy Gilmore 2” and “Frankenstein” by Guillermo del Toro.
