Netflix announced Tuesday that it reached 325 million global paid subscribers, a new milestone for the streaming service, CNBC reports.
The company also reported fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that surpassed Wall Street estimates, with earnings per share ending at 56 cents versus an estimate of 55 cents, and revenue totaling $12.05 billion versus an estimated $11.97 billion.
Net income for the fourth quarter was $2.42 billion, up from $1.87 billion, or 43 cents per share, during the same period last year.
Netflix said revenue during the period rose 18% year over year. The company said the growth came from more memberships, higher pricing and more advertising revenue.
Netflix launched its ad-supported option in late 2022, and said the revenue from it grew 2.5 times from 2024 to over $1.5 billion.
The overall revenue for 2026 is expected to be between $50.7 billion and $51.7 billion.
