"Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has come a long way from its DVD-by-mail days. Today, it's the world's largest streaming platform with over 300 million global subscribers and a proven ability to reinvent itself. The company's crackdown on password sharing, expansion into advertising, and disciplined content strategy have all helped reignite growth over the past two years. But for investors, the question is less about what Netflix has accomplished and more about where the next phase of growth will come from."
"Netflix entered the advertising market only two years ago, but it's already becoming a central pillar of growth. As of Q2 2025, about 94 million users -- nearly 30% of Netflix's subscriber base -- are on the ad-supported plan. Management also noted that ad revenue doubled last year and is on track to double again in 2025. The significance of this shift is hard to overstate. Ads represent a high-margin revenue stream, giving Netflix more room to expand profitability without relying solely on subscription hikes."
Netflix is the world's largest streaming platform with over 300 million global subscribers. Crackdowns on password sharing, expansion into advertising, and a disciplined content strategy have reignited growth. Three primary growth drivers are advertising, international expansion, and content franchises. As of Q2 2025, roughly 94 million users, nearly 30% of the subscriber base, are on the ad-supported plan, and ad revenue doubled last year with another doubling expected in 2025. Advertising offers high margins, global reach, and detailed targeting, and Netflix is building its Ads Suite to capture more value. International markets remain wide open, and franchises add durability to the content library.
