Summary
- Netflix enacts 10-for-1 stock split

On November 17, 2025, Netflix announced a 10-for-1 stock split, a move aimed at making its shares more accessible to retail investors. The split follows a period of strong revenue growth, robust performance in its advertising business, and high anticipation around the final installment of the hit series Stranger Things.
Alongside the stock split, Netflix has been actively expanding its offerings, including the addition of classic games to its app and the development of immersive venues like Netflix House. These initiatives highlight the company's efforts to further diversify its audience engagement and revenue streams in the face of fierce streaming competition and rising content costs.
While large-cap stocks have sometimes underperformed the broader market after a split, according to historical data, Netflix's move is expected to increase trading liquidity and potentially attract more retail investors. The company's content-driven growth prospects, including the potential impact of the Stranger Things finale and ongoing M&A rumors, will be closely watched as the stock split takes effect.
