"Netflix Inc. ( NASDAQ: NFLX) has had a lot to celebrate in 2025, including upcoming final season of popular show "Stranger Things" and movies Frankenstein and Wake Up Dead Man; the success of international content from Korea, Latin America, and elsewhere; and the introduction of live and interactive content. All this has helped buoy the stock despite economic uncertainty. Shares hit an all-time high of $134.12 this summer, adjusted for a recent 10-for-1 stock split."
"Before winning the streaming wars, Netflix was already transforming the home entertainment industry. It was founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings as a DVD-by-mail subscription service. At the time, the movie rental market was dominated by physical rentals from giants like Blockbuster. Netflix's business model disrupted the traditional movie rental model by offering convenience and eliminating late fees. Hastings took the company public five years later on May 23, 2002, at a split-adjusted $0.12 per share."
