As of August 4th, 2025, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has maintained its impressive momentum, with the company's shares climbing 30% in the first seven months of the year. While the stock has pulled back 13% from its recent peak, Netflix remains in solid shape, reporting strong financial results.

This remarkable performance has proven the skeptics wrong, as Netflix has successfully scaled its business and improved its profitability, with its operating margin expanding from 7.3% in 2014 to 26.7% in 2024.
