Netflix Stock News

Let's face it: Investors put money to work in the stock market with a single core goal -- to achieve strong returns and grow those funds. And over the long term, a diversified portfolio can certainly do just that.

It's been a rough year for many stocks as the Trump administration's unpredictable tariffs, the escalating trade war, sticky inflation, and other headwinds rattled the markets. However, one stock that bucked that downturn was Netflix (NFLX 4.48%), which rallied nearly 90% over the past 12 months as it dazzled the bulls with its robust growth rates.

Netflix NASDAQ: NFLX, by far the world's most dominant pure-play streaming stock, just had its eye-popping intentions revealed. A report from the Wall Street Journal says that the company is aiming to grow its market capitalization to $1 trillion by the year 2030.

Netflix (NFLX 2.58%) continued to deliver strong revenue and earnings when it reported its Q1 results in April 2025. The video streaming company doesn't plan to stop there, predicting strong growth in the years ahead.

The leader in the entertainment sector is Netflix (NFLX 0.98%). Its market cap of more than $400 billion is nearly triple the $152 billion of its next closest competitor, Walt Disney, at the time of this writing.

During the 24 months from the start of 2023 to the end of 2024, the Nasdaq Composite index generated a total return of 87%. This followed a tumultuous period in 2022, but that performance over two years was much higher than investors were used to.

Netflix (NFLX 0.98%) stock outperformed the broader market during the pandemic, and it could be a winner again even if tariffs pressure consumer spending. Year to date, the stock is up 9%, significantly outperforming the major indexes.

At Semafor's 2025 Word Economy Summit on Wednesday, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said he believes Netflix's long-term goal to achieve a $1 trillion market capitalization is possible if the streaming giant continues to perform well.
