Earnings, Q1
April
17, 2025
Netflix
reported first-quarter results Thursday that topped
Wall Street estimates as subscription price hikes
and a jump demand for the streaming giant’s ad-supported
tiers helped boost performance.
Netflix
(NASDAQ:NFLX) shares rose 3% in afterhours trade following
the results.
Netflix
announced earnings per share of $6.61, easily beating
the consensus of $5.69. Revenue for the quarter rose
13% to $10.54 billion, above the consensus of $10.5
billion. Operating income grew 27% from last year
to $3.35 billion.
The
streaming giant attributed the better-than-expected
results to "slightly higher subscription and
ad revenue and the timing of expenses."
For
Q2, the company expects revenue growth of 15%, underpinned
by recent price changes and continued growth in membership
and advertising revenue, with operating margin coming
in at 33%, a 6% year-over-year improvement. The company
expects EPS for the quarter of $7.03, which is above
the consensus of $6.24. Revenue for the current quarter
is expected to be $11.04 billion, compared to the
consensus of $10.9 billion.
Looking
further ahead, the company reiterated its forecast
for 2025 revenue of $43.5B to $44.5B and is still
targeting a 29% operating margin for 2025. Wall Street
had seen revenue for the year of $44.3 billion.
Netflix
said it repurchased 3.7 million shares in the quarter
for $3.5 billion, the most ever purchased in a quarter.
The
company also announced that it is now producing in
over 50 countries.

News
Netflix
Inc. shares rose in extended trading Thursday after
the company reported profit in the first quarter well
above its own projections and that predicted by analysts,
due to higher-than-expected subscription and advertising-revenue
growth, it said.
The
streaming giant reported net income of $2.89 billion,
up 13% compared to $2.33 billion in the same quarter
a year earlier. Analysts had estimated net income
of $2.48 billion, according FactSet. The company said
that its revenue would have risen 17% if the impact
of foreign currency fluctuations was removed.
Earnings
per share came in at $6.61, the company reported,
far ahead of the $5.67 predicted by analysts polled
by FactSet.
Netflix
shares
NFLX +1.19% closed 1.2% higher during Thursday’s
regular session and were last up 2.6% in after-hours
trading, after initially spiking more than 4%. The
company’s stock has recently outperformed the
market in the most recent tariff-driven slowdown,
suggesting investors had expected a strong earnings
report.
Revenue
in the quarter was $10.5 billion, up from $9.4 billion
in the first quarter of 2024. That came in even with
the $10.5 billion that analysts had predicted. Revenue
was boosted by a price hike in January.
The
company said that despite the recent period of economic
instability driven by the Trump administration’s
tariff push, it saw “no material change to our
overall business outlook since our last earnings report.”
This
was the first quarter that Netflix did not report
subscriber numbers, which had previously been considered
a key indicator of growth, as the company attempts
to transition to more traditional financial metrics
as markers of its development. In its shareholder
letter Thursday, Netflix said only that it posted
“slightly higher” subscription revenue than
it had expected.
Last
quarter — the final period in which Netflix disclosed
new subscriber numbers — it reported adding 18.9
million subscribers globally, well above what had
been expected.
Earlier
this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Netflix
had set the ambitious target of doubling its revenue
by 2030 and reaching a market capitalization of $1
trillion. The company’s current market valuation
is around $411 billion.
The
company aims to have 400 million global subscribers
by then, up from just over 300 million at the end
of 2024. Netflix also is aiming to triple its annual
operating income by 2030 from around $10.4 billion
last year, the Journal reported.

New
Releases and Hits:
The
Life List, a rom-com starring Sofia Carson, continues
to dominate, holding the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s
English Films list for three weeks with over 13 million
views in the latest week. Fans are reportedly making
life-changing decisions inspired by the film’s
themes.
Black
Mirror Season 7 premiered last week, featuring a star-studded
cast including Cristin Milioti, Paul Giamatti, and
Awkwafina. The second episode has sparked debate due
to alternate versions, with some fans claiming Netflix
is “gaslighting” them.
Pulse,
a medical drama likened to Grey’s Anatomy, is
climbing the charts despite mixed reviews, with fans
praising its “addictive” and “juicy”
action.
The
Glass Dome, a chilling Scandi thriller by Camilla
Lackberg, is generating buzz with its upcoming release.
iHostage,
a thriller based on the 2022 Amsterdam Apple Store
hostage crisis, is set to drop next week.
North
of North, a comedy focusing on Indigenous stories,
debuted at No. 5 on Netflix’s Top 10 with a perfect
100% critic score.
Upcoming
Projects:
The
Sandman Season 2, its final season, will release in
two parts: six episodes on July 3 and five on July
24, 2025.
Jennifer
Lopez will star in The Last Mrs. Parrish, a film directed
by Robert Zemeckis.
May
2025 will bring Balle perdue 3, the final chapter
of the French action saga, and The Four Seasons, a
Tina Fey comedy-drama.
Platform
Updates:
Netflix
expanded its dubbing and subtitling options, now offering
subtitles in 33 languages and audio in 36 on TVs,
responding to thousands of monthly user requests.
This enhances accessibility for global audiences,
with nearly a third of viewership tied to non-English
content like Squid Game and Lupin.
Industry
Discussion:
Netflix’s
binge-release model is under scrutiny as competitors
like Disney+ use weekly drops to sustain buzz. Recent
hits like Squid Game Season 2 and American Primeval
reportedly fade quickly due to all-at-once releases.

New
Cyberpunk Animated Series on Netflix
Based
on the latest information available up to September
19, 2024, Netflix, in collaboration with CD Projekt
Red, has confirmed the development of a new animated
project within the Cyberpunk universe. Here's what
we know:
Announcement:
During Geeked Week, Netflix teased this new project,
hinting at a "return to Night City," which
suggests it will be set in the same universe as "Cyberpunk:
Edgerunners" and "Cyberpunk 2077."
Project
Details: While it's confirmed to be set in the Cyberpunk
universe, specifics like whether it will be a direct
sequel or a new story entirely, akin to "Edgerunners"
but with a different narrative or characters, remain
undisclosed. There's been no confirmation if this
is an "Edgerunners Season 2," though the
nature of the announcement leaves room for speculation.
Reception
and Context: The original "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners"
series was well-received, contributing to a surge
in interest back towards "Cyberpunk 2077."
This positive reception might influence the new project's
direction, aiming to leverage the existing fanbase
while expanding the universe's lore.
Teasers
and Speculation: From posts on X (formerly Twitter),
there's excitement and speculation among fans. The
mention of "another animated series set in the
Cyberpunk 2077 universe" and teases about exploring
new stories in Night City suggest a continuation or
expansion of the thematic elements fans enjoyed in
"Edgerunners."
Release
Information: As of now, no release date or further
detailed plot information has been shared. Netflix
and CD Projekt Red have promised more details at a
later date, keeping the community in anticipation.
This
new venture into the Cyberpunk animated series by
Netflix represents a commitment to exploring more
narratives within this dystopian world, potentially
tapping into different aspects of Night City's lore,
characters, or even new tech developments within its
universe. While fans eagerly await more concrete details,
the announcement itself has reignited discussions
and excitement around what new stories might unfold
in one of the most visually and narratively rich settings
in recent sci-fi history. (Grok)

Week event, as well as posts on X (formerly known
as Twitter) from various users sharing the premiere
date. The season continues the story with Lee Jung-jae
reprising his role as Seong Gi-hun, diving back into

has captivated audiences, leading to widespread acclaim
and discussions about its popularity and narrative.

Wednesday
Season 2 First Look Revealed.
The
latest on "Wednesday Season 2" includes
a behind-the-scenes first look that was revealed as
part of Netflix's Geeked Week celebrations, indicating
the series will return in 2025. Here's what's known:
First
Look: Fans have been treated to behind-the-scenes
footage featuring the cast, including Jenna Ortega
as Wednesday Addams, providing a glimpse into what's
coming in the new season. This footage emphasizes
that Season 2 will be "bigger and more twisted,"
promising a deeper dive into the horror elements of
the series,
Cast
and Crew: Returning cast members include Jenna Ortega,
Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Emma Myers,
and more, under the direction of Tim Burton for at
least part of the season. The show also features new
cast members and promises to expand on the existing
characters' stories.
Plot
Teases: While specific plot details are being kept
under wraps, Jenna Ortega has hinted at incredible
set pieces, suggesting visually richer environments
or significant events that might tie into unresolved
cliffhangers from Season 1, like the transformation
and fate of Tyler.
Themes
and Tone: There's an indication that Season 2 will
continue to focus on Wednesday's journey of self-discovery
and her relationship dynamics, particularly her attempt
to carve out her path away from her family's influence.
Additionally, the emphasis will be on horror over
romance, aligning with Ortega's comments about avoiding
forced romantic narratives.
Production:
Filming for Season 2 commenced in May 2024, with locations
including Ireland, signaling a potentially broader
or different setting for some of the storylines.
Release:
The series is set to return in 2025, maintaining the
suspense and anticipation among fans who are eager
for more of Wednesday Addams's dark-hearted adventures
at Nevermore Academy and beyond.
The
excitement around "Wednesday" Season 2 is
palpable, with fans and critics alike looking forward
to how the series will expand on its established gothic
universe while introducing new elements of horror
and mystery. (Grok)
News
Based
on the information available up to September 19, 2024,
here are some updates and insights regarding Netflix:
Pricing
and Plans: Netflix offers several subscription tiers,
with the most basic ad-supported plan starting at
$6.99 per month, which allows streaming on two devices
in 1080p. The ad-free plans include Standard for $15.49
per month, which also supports streaming on two devices
at 1080p, and Premium for $22.99 per month, which
ups the ante to four simultaneous streams at 4K resolution.
There's also an option to add extra member slots for
an additional cost.
Content
Updates: Netflix continues to add new TV shows, movies,
and original content regularly. Recent or upcoming
releases as of September 2024 include a variety of
genres from survival dramas to supernatural horror,
indicating Netflix's broad content strategy remains
intact.
Event
and Announcements: There was an event around the time
of inquiry where Netflix planned to reveal updates
on several highly anticipated series such as "One
Piece Season 2", "Wednesday Season 2",
"Black Mirror Season 7", "Squid Game
Season 2", "Stranger Things", a "Devil
May Cry" anime, and "Avatar: The Last Airbender
Season 2". This event underscores Netflix's commitment
to both continuing popular series and exploring new
avenues like anime.
User
Interaction and Features: Netflix provides a service
where content can be downloaded for offline viewing,
which is particularly useful for viewers on the go
or in areas with unreliable internet. The platform's
user interface also includes features like profiles
for kids with parental controls, and recommendations
that improve with more viewing data.
Market
Sentiment and Discussions: From X posts, there's considerable
excitement and discussion around Netflix's content
strategy, with users and media outlets focusing on
new releases, price changes, and the platform's approach
to both original content and licensed material.
Cost
Considerations: There's mention in discussions about
how Netflix's cost has nearly doubled for some users,
reflecting the ongoing debate on the value of streaming
services versus their cost, which might influence
subscriber behavior and expectations for content quality
and quantity.
Subscription
Model: Netflix emphasizes its month-to-month subscription
model, which allows users to cancel anytime without
long-term contracts or cancellation fees, providing
flexibility which is often appreciated in the dynamic
streaming market.
Given
these points, Netflix in 2024 continues to evolve,
focusing on a diverse content library, enhancing user
experience through technology and personalization,
while facing the usual industry challenges like pricing
satisfaction and content competition. The platform's
strategy appears to blend global appeal with niche
interests, aiming to cater to a broad audience while
also pushing the boundaries with original programming.
(Grok)
Media
Man Editors: Massive few months for Netflix. Also
mark down Terminator: Zero, The Queen Of The Villains
and Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson (November 2024). And don't
forget WWE Raw hits Netflix in January 2025. And even
the official WWE Vault YouTube channel has plugged
Netflix, and specifically "Dump", while
uploading some classic Japanese pro wrestling matches
to their own platforms.

The
big streamers have been cutting their original content
output
Where
did all the new shows go?
By
Tom Jones
Seasons
change
If
you’ve been mindlessly scrolling through streaming
services and have been feeling even less enthused
than usual, you may not be entirely to blame: almost
all major US streamers have been cutting their original
TV output this year, according to new analysis from
Variety.
From
content monolith Netflix, which released 203 original
shows in the first half of 2023 compared with 174
in H1 ‘24, to Disney+, which has halved its already-slim
original TV library as it continues an apparent shift
to quality over quantity, shrinkage has hit the streaming
world hard. Indeed, of the 8 major streamers Variety
studied from Luminate data, only Max and Peacock maintained
their output level year over year.
All
told, the number of original seasons fell 19% at the
8 streamers tracked.
For
a while, it seemed we might float forever on an endless
stream of new series, as companies competed to supply
viewers who’d become accustomed to basking in
the Golden Age of Television. However, the financial
reality of producing content in an increasingly-competitive
arena where margins are tight and churn rates are
growing is becoming apparent.
It’ll
be interesting to see how streamers’ original
show libraries stack up in the latter half of this
year compared to H2 2023, when original production
tallies at some major players began to reflect the
effects of the extended Hollywood strikes. (Credit:

Japanese
Female Pro-Wrestling Drama Series ‘The Queen
of Villains’ Premieres September 19
How
did one woman whip Japan into a frenzy? Launching
on September 19, The Queen of Villains unveils the
story of Dump Matsumoto, the most terrifying “heel”
during the golden age of women’s pro wrestling
in Japan. Spanning five episodes, the series explores
the events that led to her rise decades ago.
From
the ‘70s to the ‘80s, female pro-wrestling
tag teams like “Beauty Pair” (Jackie Sato
and Maki Ueda) and “Crush Gals” (Chigusa
Nagayo and Lioness Asuka) became national icons. They
captivated Japan not only by competing but also by
singing and dancing in the ring. On the other side
of this was Dump Matsumoto, the sworn rival of the
“Crush Gals.” She made all of Japan her
enemy, wreaking havoc in and outside of the ring.
But once upon a time, young Dump Matsumoto was told
she was too kind to be a villain. What events made
her one of the most disliked figures in Japanese wrestling
history?
Bringing
these iconic female wrestlers to life is a talented
cast chosen through auditions:
Multi-talented
comedian Yuriyan Retriever portrays Dump Matsumoto.
Erika
Karata (Desert of Namibia) plays Chigusa Nagayo, who
starts as a failed wrestling trainee but eventually
rises to stardom.
Ayame
Goriki (Watashi ga Ore no Jinsei?!) portrays Lioness
Asuka, known for being the most athletic and technical
wrestler among her peers.
The
renowned Osamu Suzuki developed, wrote, and produced
the series. After hearing Matsumoto talk about the
women’s pro wrestling era on his show, Suzuki
was inspired to turn her story into a series and wrote
the screenplay himself. Kazuya Shiraishi (The Devil’s
Path, The Blood of Wolves, Lesson in Murder) serves
as the supervising director, while Chigusa Nagayo
herself led the actors’ physical training and
presided over the wrestling scenes.
Watch
the rise of these women to fame and the lessons their
journeys hold today. The Queen of Villains premieres
globally on September 19, only on Netflix.

Man: Pumped for Dump. We used to bring in VHS tapes
of Dump and her associates into Australia in the late
80s and early 90s. One of the greatest women pro wrestlers
of all time. The killer heel and queen bee of the
ring. Netflix makes a killer and smart move in delivering
this gem to the global audience. This will more than
satisfy the cast majority of pro wrestling and fight
fans, and we as those who love the hero vs villain
scenario - a base of storytelling. Shakespearean and
a beautiful violence. This is pop culture history.
