Values are as tagged by the issuer in XBRL. Revenue for banks and insurers is net of interest expense where that is the reported line. Fiscal years that do not follow the calendar are shown by their period-end date. No price, market cap, or valuation multiple is shown because Yield Theory does not republish unlicensed market data.

Diluted EPS is the earnings figure behind the price-to-earnings ratio; the P/E multiple compression calculator shows how a change in that multiple moves a share price. Shares outstanding multiplied by the share price gives market capitalization.

What investors should watch in NFLX

For Netflix, Inc., the most important recurring operating and market variables are:

  • ◆Membership growth and price changes across UCAN, EMEA, LATAM, and APAC
  • ◆Advertising revenue from the ad-supported plan
  • ◆Content spending, amortization, and streaming content obligations
  • ◆Live programming and games as engagement drivers
  • ◆Completion and financing of the Warner Bros. Discovery transaction

Key questions for the NFLX thesis

Each question starts with what the filings show, then why it matters. None of these is a rating or a forecast.

What is growth made of now that member counts are gone?

Streaming revenue rose 16% to $45.2 billion in 2025, which the 10-K attributes to membership growth, price increases, and higher advertising revenue, partly offset by currency. The company stopped reporting membership numbers in 2025, so use the regional revenue table in Item 7 and constant-currency growth of 17% as the primary gauges.

How much operating leverage is left?

Operating margin expanded to 29.5% in 2025 from 26.7%, with operating income of $13.3 billion and audited net income of $11.0 billion, or $2.53 per share after the November 2025 stock split. Item 1 says the strategy is to grow within an operating margin target; watch content amortization against revenue for the trade-off.

Is advertising a real second revenue stream?

Item 1A states the company has limited experience selling advertising and that ad revenue may not grow as expected, even as ads are cited as a 2025 revenue driver. Look for disclosures on ad-tier plan mix, pricing, and measurement partners to judge how quickly advertising can matter against $45.2 billion of subscription-led revenue.

What does the Warner Bros. Discovery deal add and risk?

On December 4, 2025 Netflix agreed to acquire WBD's streaming and studios businesses, including HBO Max and HBO, in a deal amended January 19, 2026 and backed by bridge and term-loan facilities. Item 1A includes dedicated risk factors on completion, timing, and integration; read Note disclosures on indebtedness and content obligations.

Does NFLX's reported profit turn into cash?

Operating cash flow was $10.1B, 0.92 times net income of $11.0B, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Cash from operations trailed reported earnings. Working-capital build (receivables, inventory, prepayments) or non-cash gains are the usual reasons; check the cash-flow statement before relying on reported profit.

Form 10-K filed January 23, 2026

How much of NFLX's revenue is left as profit?

Net income was 24.3% of revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, based on revenue and net income reported for the same period.

Net margin reflects the business model as much as execution, so compare it with companies in the same SEC industry and read the income statement for one-time items before treating it as a run rate.
