Streaming giant Netflix (
NASDAQ:NFLX
) is scheduled to announce its
Q4 earnings on January 23. The implementation of an ad-supported tier, efforts to address password sharing, and a robust content lineup will likely
drive Q4 financials and the paid membership base.
Netflix’s efforts to monetize its platform efficiently augur well for future growth. However, NFLX stock has trended higher and appreciated over 35% in one year, implying that the upside potential could be capped. Let’s dig deeper.
Netflix – Q4 Expectations
Wall Street expects Netflix to report revenue of $8.72 billion in Q4, which compares favorably to the prior-year quarter’s revenue of $7.85 billion. Moreover, it is in line with the management’s guidance and shows a slight sequential improvement.
The expected year-over-year improvement in its top line and lower spending will likely drive its operating income and bottom line. Analysts expect Netflix to post
earnings of $2.21 per share in Q4, reflecting a significant improvement from $0.12 per share in the prior-year quarter.
