Netflix Finishes 2023 with Strong Growth

Netflix announced its fourth-quarter 2023 financial results, which were strongly positive, looking at key metrics for the streaming company. The company's revenue was $8.83 billion, up 12% year over year. Operating income was $1.5 billion, and earnings per share (EPS) were $2.11. EPS was a slight disappointment, but the number of new users for Q4 beat all records.

Netflix's subscriber base grew by 13.12 million to 260.28 million. This was the third consecutive quarter in which the company reported subscriber growth. The company is back on track, even with rising subscription costs. The margin is disappointing, but a very strong Q1 2024 is expected.

Netflix is the leader in the streaming video market, but in recent years it has faced growing competition from companies like Disney+, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime Video. In 2022, the company reported its first decline in subscribers in a decade.

Netflix predicts that first-quarter 2024 revenue will be $9.24 billion and EPS will be $4.49.
