Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) is a tech stock that revolutionised home entertainment with its subscription streaming model. But, it now faces fierce competition as the likes of Disney, Amazon and Apple are all trying to play catch-up. Netflix has even started dipping its toes into streaming live events and sports.
While it’s focused on content dominance and ad-supported tiers, slowing subscriber growth remains a challenge. It has already shown it has the pricing power to increase fees, but this could reach a limit, and then what? Investors thinking about buying Netflix shares need to think about the future of entertainment rather than past stock price performance.
The whole process can take as little as 15 minutes. You'll need a smartphone or computer, an internet connection, your passport or driving licence and a means of payment.
May 14, 2026: Netflix announced on 14 May 2026 an expanded NFL deal to carry five regular-season games plus the NFL Honors ceremony through 2029, including a Week 1 game in Melbourne and a Thanksgiving Eve fixture.

"This is something only you can decide. Netflix captured the attention of couch-sitters and investors around the world. So much positivity was great for television series bingeing and for profits. The Netflix stock price has seen plenty of recent growth as a result. The challenge is how Netflix can continue to grow and make money if so many people are already subscribed?
We’ve seen Netflix crack down on password sharing, introducing adverts and raising monthly subscription prices. This is the immediate plan to squeeze more money out of customers who treat Netflix as an essential spend. How long Netflix can do this remains to be seen, but the trick is finding ways to monetise its audience without driving people away on price. "

Netflix's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 16 November 2025. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Netflix shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Netflix shares which in turn could have impacted Netflix's share price.
