Netflix Splits Stock 10-for-1, Shares to Trade at Lower Price
30 Oct
Summary
- Netflix announces 10-for-1 stock split
- Stock price to trade at one-tenth of current value
- Split aims to make shares more accessible to employees
In a move to make its stock more accessible, Netflix announced on October 30, 2025, that it will split its shares 10-for-1. This means that for every one share of Netflix a shareholder currently owns, they will receive 10 new shares after the split.
The decision comes as Netflix's stock price has continued to climb, closing at $1,089 on the day of the announcement. By splitting the shares, the price per share will be reduced to around $110, making it more affordable for employees participating in the company's stock option program.
Netflix has split its stock twice before, in 2015 and 2004, as the company's value has skyrocketed since its initial public offering in 2002. The streaming giant's shares have gained over 100,000% since then, reflecting its tremendous growth and success in the industry.
The 10-for-1 split is expected to take effect on November 17, 2025, allowing Netflix's stock to begin trading at the new, lower price. Investors have responded positively to the news, with the company's shares rising as much as 3% on the day of the announcement.
