About
Netflix, Inc. is a Los Gatos, California-based global entertainment streaming company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: NFLX) as an S&P 500 Communication Services component — operating the world's largest subscription video on demand (SVOD) streaming platform with 301 million paid subscribers globally across 190 countries, offering an ad-supported tier (Netflix Standard with Ads at $7/month), Standard plan ($15.49/month), and Premium plan ($22.99/month) with access to Netflix's library of original series, movies, documentaries, stand-up specials, limited series, reality TV, and licensed content through approximately 13,000 full-time employees. In fiscal year 2024, Netflix reported revenues of $39.0 billion (+15% year-over-year) and operating income of $10.4 billion (+52%) — demonstrating the operating leverage of streaming at scale as revenue growth from subscriber additions and price increases fell directly to operating income as content spend grew more slowly than revenue. Co-CEOs Ted Sarandos (content strategy) and Greg Peters (product, advertising, and business operations) execute Netflix's strategy of expanding revenue per member through advertising and live events: the Netflix ad-supported tier (15+ million subscribers by late 2024, growing faster than any other Netflix plan) generates advertising revenue from brands paying CPMs of $25-40 for Netflix's premium streaming inventory, while the plan's lower entry price attracts price-sensitive subscribers who create incremental revenue versus non-subscribers. Netflix's live events strategy (the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match on November 15, 2024 — 108 million concurrent streams at peak, the largest US livestream in history — and NFL Christmas Day games 2024) demonstrates Netflix's platform capability for large-scale live programming that differentiates from cable's traditional live sports advantage.
