Netflix beats revenue estimates as subscriber count climbs 325 million
"Netflix exceeded Wall Street's revenue estimates for its holiday quarter, as it crossed 325 million subscribers, the company said on Tuesday. Revenue came in at $12.1 billion for October through December-topping forecasts of $11.97 billion for the quarter, according to analysts surveyed by LSEG. Nielsen reported that Netflix's monthly viewership rose 10% in December, thanks largely to the final season of hit sci-fi series " Stranger Things," which generated 15 billion viewing minutes."
"Investors remain focused on Netflix's $82.7 billion pursuit of Warner Bros Discovery's studio and other entertainment assets, as it seeks to fend off a hostile bid from Paramount Skydance. Netflix amended its merger agreement to an all-cash offer for the film and television studios, its extensive content library, and major entertainment franchises, including " Game of Thrones," " Harry Potter," and DC Comics' superheroes like Batman and Superman."
