Are you getting bored with Netflix‘s viewing selections, despite its vast library of content? That’s a chief concern of the streaming video Goliath as it looks ahead to forthcoming fiscal quarters, with keeping subscribers interested at all times the chief way it will continue to make a profit.
Thanks to an upward adjustment in its subscription fees and continued acceleration of its ad revenue, Netflix saw its Q2 revenue come in at $12.56 billion, rising upward of 13% from the same quarter of last year. But analysts’ expectations were slightly higher, at $12.58 billion.
Net income came in at $3.4 billion, reflecting nearly 9% growth, from $3.13 billion in Q2 2025.
Yet, an immediate slowdown is taking shape, as Netflix said Q3 revenue and income acceleration is tapering.
In after-hours trading on Thursday, NFLX was down 7.3% to $68.90 as of 4:40pm Eastern.
For the quarter ended June 30, Netflix posted diluted earnings per share of $0.80; the consensus estimate was $0.79.
According to data shared on July 16 by Nielsen, Netflix’s latest Harlan Coben adaptation, “I Will Find You,” debuted at No. 1 with 1.84 billion viewing minutes following its June 18 premiere on the platform. However, about 60% of its 1.8 billion minutes were driven by viewers 50 years of age and older.
Additionally, while Nielsen says Netflix remains the dominant source of original content, it is lagging in the acquired content category.
