Netflix Records $9.5bn Revenue, Adds 8m Subscribers

Posted on July 22, 2024

Netflix, leading Streaming platform, has added 8.05 million new paid subscribers in the second quarter of 2024, surpassing projected estimates of 5.2 million by 54%.

This surge elevates Netflix’s global subscriber base to 277.65 million, solidifying its dominant position in the streaming market.

While lower than the 9.33 million recorded in Q1 2024, this figure still exceeds expectations for new subscriber growth. According to its Q2 earnings report, Netflix achieved $9.5 billion in revenue and $4.88 earnings per share, aligning with consensus estimates and previous guidance, continuing a robust performance trend from the first quarter.

Looking ahead, Netflix anticipates softer growth next quarter, projecting sales of $9.7 billion, marking a 13.9% year-over-year increase. To sustain momentum, the company plans to expand entertainment offerings and invest in its ad-supported tier, which saw a 34% growth this quarter.

Despite the strong quarterly performance, Netflix’s shares remained stable post-announcement but have risen 37% year-to-date. The company’s ability to consistently outperform subscriber growth estimates underscores its resilience and adaptability in a competitive streaming landscape, positioning it favorably for future success.

In Nigeria, Netflix continues to influence the streaming market with its original content, such as the series “Òlòtūré: The Journey,” which garnered significant attention, reaching the top 10 global charts on the platform. This reflects Netflix’s growing impact and popularity in the region, driven by locally resonant productions.

Additionally, Netflix highlighted its dominance with 107 Emmy nominations, the highest among all platforms and networks this year, showcasing its diverse content strategy and expanding influence across global audiences.
