"Netflix Inc. ( NASDAQ: NFLX) had a lot to celebrate in 2025, including the 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 last 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 $1.21 per share."
Netflix achieved major programming and format milestones in 2025, including the final season of Stranger Things, films Frankenstein and Wake Up Dead Man, successful international releases from Korea and Latin America, and the rollout of live and interactive content. These developments supported share gains despite economic uncertainty and a 10-for-1 split-adjusted all-time high near $134. The stock has climbed dramatically since its 2002 IPO at a split-adjusted $1.21, delivering a compounded annual growth rate near 31.8%. The 2007 streaming launch and a pivot to originals in the 2010s underpinned market leadership. Investors seek longer-term share-price projections beyond one-year estimates.
