Netflix Shifts Focus From Subscriber Numbers, Q1 Earnings Exceed Expectations

Netflix has reported a first-quarter revenue of 10.5 billion for 2025, marking a 13 increase compared to the same period last year.

The streaming giant also exceeded Wall Street expectations, with earnings per share rising by 25 to 6.61.

The company attributed its strong performance to a combination of recent subscription price hikes and an impressive global lineup of content, including popular series such as the British drama Adolescence .

With a global viewership exceeding 700 million, Netflix confirmed that it had not experienced any negative impact from President Donald Trump's tariffs or the accompanying market turbulence.

"We're paying close attention to consumer sentiment and where the broader economy is moving. Based on what we're seeing, there is nothing significant to note," co-Chief Executive Officer Greg Peters said during a call with analysts.
