About this listen
While rival media companies are unloading assets and cutting costs, Netflix Inc. continues to thrive.
The owner of the world’s most popular paid streaming service on Thursday reported second-quarter results that exceeded investor expectations in every major metric, saying revenue grew to $11.1 billion and earnings jumped to $7.19 a share. The company also raised its forecast for full-year sales and profit margins.
The second quarter is historically slow for Netflix, which typically adds more customers at the beginning and end of the year. But the company released a steady slate of popular shows, including two of the most-watched titles of the year — the third season of Ginny & Georgia and the final season of Squid Game. The company also benefited from a weaker dollar. More than two-thirds of its customers live outside the US.
For instant reaction and analysis, hosts Tim Stenovec and Norah Mulinda speak with Geetha Ranganathan, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Media Analyst and Mark Douglas, CEO of MNTN.
