Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has reported unprecedented growth in its subscriber base, adding 18.9 million new users in the fourth quarter of 2024. This surge has pushed the global membership count to 302 million by the end of the year.

The impressive increase is attributed to a compelling lineup of content, which includes the much-anticipated second season of “Squid Game” and high-profile sports events such as the Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight. The company’s ability to draw in viewers with diverse offerings has been crucial in reaching these record numbers.

Netflix Reports Unprecedented Growth with Q4 2924 Results

Netflix saw a 16% rise in revenue for 2024, reaching $39 billion. Notably, the company’s operating income surpassed the $10 billion mark for the first time. Looking ahead, Netflix has forecasted revenue between $43.5 billion and $44.5 billion for 2025, with an expected operating margin of 29%.

These projections are backed by the company’s strategic focus on expanding its ad-supported tier, which accounted for over half of the new sign-ups in the last quarter. Despite the impressive subscriber growth, Netflix’s revenue increase was relatively moderate, prompting a decision to implement price hikes in several key markets.

The streaming giant is also not resting on its laurels and is actively exploring new avenues for growth. The company is making significant investments in live programming, particularly sports, and expanding its gaming offerings.

Plans are in place to test cloud gaming on television by 2025, signaling Netflix’s intent to diversify beyond traditional streaming. These initiatives are expected to enhance user engagement and provide new revenue streams, positioning Netflix as a multifaceted entertainment provider.
